Hi,

 

can we use multiarch support on the ubuntu desktop?

Is the debian server release supporting multiarch?

 

I receive:

I try to add my epson v33 scanner ... make it available over the network.

thx

You can use multiarch on ARM boards of course, but only for architectures that the hardware supports. For example you can use armhf (32bit) and aarch64 at the same time. But looking at your post, you have added i386 which is a 32bit x86 architecture and can not run on ARM without emulation.

It's a x86 software... you can run it via qemu (multiarch/platform emulator) or:

https://eltechs.com/product/exagear-desktop/
(only 32bit x86, closed source)

OK, using multiarch with qemu emulator, like in the github guide.

I added the architecture "dpkg --add-architecture i386"

 

add ubuntu sources list:

Quote

/etc/apt/sources.list.d# cat i386.list
deb [arch=i386] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main restricted universe multiverse
deb [arch=i386] http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb [arch=i386] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-backports main restricted universe multiverse

 

apt update gives me

armbian hosts only arm and arm64, no i386 packages.
