Getting 32-Bit 3D Acceleration on 64-Bit Ubuntu

Hello! I'm running Netrunner 4.2 64-Bit (this is a tweaked version of Kubuntu 12.04) and am trying to run some games in Wine. Whenever I try to run something requiring 3D acceleration, I am told that I do not have 32-bit 3D acceleration enabled. I do, however, have 64-bit 3D acceleration enabled. I am using the integrated graphics with my Intel i5 CPU. I've spent a week or so trying to enable it myself, but after having made no progress, I resolved to post a question here.
Does anyone have any idea on how to go about enabling 32-bit 3D acceleration on a 64-bit system?
Thanks in advance! :)

You need ia32-libs and a 32-bit graphics driver.

I have ia32-libs. As far as a 32-bit graphics driver goes, I have 32-bit mesa and a 32-bit VA (Video Acceleration) library for Intel. Is it the 32-bit library for X that I need? It won't let me install that without uninstalling my 64-bit one.

Did you install the 32-bit xserver-xorg-video-intel? Or the 32-bit libgl?

Alex Brinister

I tried to install the 32-bit xserver-xorg-video-intel, but it wouldn't let me without uninstalling all of my 64-bit graphics drivers.
I can't find 32-bit libgl.

Hmm odd. Doesn't Ubuntu have some kind of 32-bit compat repository? Have you tried X.Org Edgers? On Arch 64, we have a multilib repository for most 32-bit libraries. Do you have a /usr/lib32 directory? What does this give you?

Code:

ls -l /usr/

Alex Brinister

have you searched in package manager for ia32? There might just be a lib you're missing that shows up if you do.
That said I know that multilib is changing in Debian so, by extension, Ubuntu and I don't know yet how the new system works.

Sorry That Took So Long!

Thank you all for your help. I'm sorry I haven't replied in a few days; I had finals at my college and came home right after. That's kept me fairly busy, lol.

I have not tried X-Org edgers; I try not to break my X. I'll try adding the repo and searching to see if there are any packages that might be of use, regardless. :)
I do indeed have a /usr/lib32.

Code:

sweyn78@s78-p775 ~Documents> cd /usr/lib32            

sweyn78@s78-p775 /u/lib32> ls

alsa-lib            libnss_mdns4_minimal.so.2  libstdc++.so.6

gconv              libnss_mdns4.so.2          libstdc++.so.6.0.16

libasound.so        libnss_mdns6_minimal.so.2  libz.so.1

libasound.so.2      libnss_mdns6.so.2          libz.so.1.2.3.4

libasound.so.2.0.0  libnss_mdns_minimal.so.2

libgcc_s.so.1      libnss_mdns.so.2

Why do you have Mint and Ubuntu packages mixed? That's probably not very good...

Have you seen this page?

Alex Brinister

I just use the Mint repos for things like mintupdate. I like some of Mint's software, but I dislike their KDE version. Looking at just the software available in Mint's repos, it doesn't seem like there's anything that would relate to this problem, and I've had this problem since before adding Mint's repos.
Regardless, I can comment them out if you think it might help.

Nope, I was just asking.

You should check out that link. It describes multiarching on the new Debian (Ubuntu) dpkg.

Alex Brinister

Apper lets me select which arch I want to install for. Trying to install a 32-bit version of an xorg package results in apt trying to remove the 64-bit one.

That's really weird. Do you have "multiarch-support" installed? Also, this one?

Alex Brinister

I already had them installed. I reinstalled them, but to no avail. :\

Do you have the "ia32-libs-multiarch" package by any chance? Sorry for the many package questions. It's just that I'm not used to having to go through so much trouble to find a 32-bit library. All of them are provided in a repository called [multilib] in Arch.

I think libgl1-mesa-dri and its dependencies might have fixed it; I'm no longer getting an error when I try to start up PlayOnLinux. I'm going to give Steam a go.
Thank you very much for your help. :)

EDIT: Steam works! :D

No problem :D. Happy Gaming!
