Useful Tip: Running 32-bit linux apps on (K)Ubuntu 64
This can be a very useful tip for using applications that only ship 32-bit binaries such as Skype. First install linux32 and ia32 libs:
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk gsfonts gsfonts-x11 linux32 ia32-libs-kde
Then simply run the application through linux32. For example to run Skype simply execute:
$ linux32 /path/to/skype/skype
Another handy tip is to then add a shortcut to either your KDE or GNOME menus with the same command to save you having to always run it from a terminal.
