I'm running an Athlon 64 X2-based system. If followed the instructions (posted on https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html) on how to set up a 32-bit chroot area using debootstrap. I also set up schroot so that I can run my 32-bit apps (mostly just Firefox and Adobe acroread) from 64-bit userland. Mostly things work, but I've noticed something strainge.
I have a script (/usr/local/bin/firefox) that is a script that contains the following: <listing> #! /bin/bash exec schroot -p -c etch-i386 firefox </listing> When I run this script from 64-bit land, firefox starts as expected, but if I try visiting a site like YouTube, there's no sound on the video. HOWEVER.... When I do something like the following: <session> coffee$ schroot -p -c etch-i386 bash coffee$ # Now I'm in 32-bit land coffee$ firefox </session> Then firefox and flash player cooperate nicely and I can watch (and hear) the "White and Nerdy" video to my heart's content. Anybody have a clue as to what's going on here? My only idea is that for some reason schroot is giving up permissions on the /dev area prematurely, and that there's a simple fix that I could do with my little script, or perhaps in the schroot config file.
