    Question How do I install 32 bit gstreamer plugins on 64 bit Ubuntu?

    Hi,

    I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 x64. And some Wine games (e.g. Morrowind) require 32 bit gstreamer plugins to enable sound. How can I install 32 gstreamer plugins on my 64 bit Ubuntu?

    On Fedora this is easy, you just need to explicitly provide the architecture:
    Code:
    yum install gstreamer-plugin-good.i686
    I can't figure out how to do this in Ubuntu

    P.S. Similar question was asked almost a year ago, but it has no answer

    This help shows how to locate and install packages one by one. But
    Code:
    dpkg -i
    fails if the architecture does not much. So, I've tried
    Code:
    dpkg -i --force-architecture
    Do not do this! It replaces currently installed 64 bit package, installs no dependencies and brakes all packages depending on it!
    Luckily you just can install 64 bit package in Synaptic again and fix broken packages
