Most of the system is back to normal and is configured the way I like. However still having some problems with installing certain programs like Citrix. Basically it looks like the 32 bit version of the ia32-libs library is broken in Debian Unstable and they are expecting a fix any day now. However till its fixed it looks like I can’t install the Citrix client which is required for my work. Guess I will be using the Raspberry Pi to connect to office system till the fix is here.<\/p>\n
Other than that, there is a slight issue with static when I skip ahead in a video, i.e. I get a lot of static on the soundtrack if I fastforward the currently playing music\/video. Sounds like it could be a driver issue. <\/p>\n
During this entire process I realized that running a 32 bit OS is a lot less work than a 64 bit OS esp if you are running on Debian unstable since in the unstable branch a lot of the 64 bit packages are broken at this time thanks to the above mentioned library. <\/p>\n
I am debating if I should go back to the 32 bit version. Will decide in a couple of days after doing a bit more research on the topic. I might be getting a SSD in the near future so will have to reinstall any ways once that comes in and depending on my mood then I will choose 64bit or 32 bit. Not really eager to get an SSD when for a little bit more I can get a 2-3 TB drive but Krishna, Sid and Anil have done their level best to convince me of the advantages so thinking about it quite seriously. <\/p>\n
Well this is all for now. Should go to sleep now since I have an early start tomorrow and today has been a long day. Will post more later.<\/p>\n
