I just installed CentOS 6.2 32 bit today. When I try to start the Virtual Machine Manager I get a error:
Packages required for KVM usage
The following packages are not installed:
qemu-kvm
KVM is not available for 32-bit. You need to install CentOS x86_64.
Then I have to face weeks of 32 bit compatibility issues, unresolvable library conflicts, and source code that won't build. It's bad enough that I can't get Microsoft's Skype to run on this 32 bit system. I just spent most of a week trying to get Scientific Linux 6.1 x86-64 to cooperate. There are still too many 32 bit only applications to deal with. Aside from that, I have to go back to work tomorrow because my Christmas break is over. ;-)
For Skype I use version 2.1.0.81 On 64-bit system) you need to download that version and run: yum –nogpgchek localinstall skype-2.1.0.81-fc10.i586.rpm glibc.i686 alsa-lib.i686 libXv.i686 libXScrnSaver.i686 qt.i686 qt-x11.i686′
You can download this working version from my EL6 repository: http://rpms.plnet.rs/plnet-centos6-i386/RPMS.centdos/skype-2.1.0.81-fc10.i58...
As for KVM not working in 32 bit, I found it worked quite well in Fedora 14 32 bit. Can someone explain how making it 64 bit only is an improvement? :-(
Upstream decided to ditch KVM for 32-bit system. Fedora is testing ground for RHEL, they do what they want. As simple as that.
A big awesome thanks a lot Ljubomir. Skype is up and running. I got Audacity, and Samba working and got all my podcast feeds transferred from my backup rhythmdb.xml file into Rhythmbox today too. A very productive day partially thanks to you.
