On our 64-bit series, we continue today with Vuze. There is a slightly older version on the Ubuntu repositories, so if you just want a running vuze, you can be happy and stop reading.
However, if you prefer to use the upstream latest version (vuze has its own update mechanism) on Ubuntu 64-bit, this is what you can do:
1. Create a local directory for applications. I use ~/bin.
mkdir ~/bin
2. Download and uncompress vuze.
cd ~/bin
tar xvjf Vuze_Installer.tar.bz2
(Alternatively you can use the Archive Manager and copy the vuze directory to bin in your home directory).
3. Download swt (SWT binary and source, Linux (x86_64/GTK 2)) for Linux 64-bit. Open it with the Archive Manager and copy swt.jar to ~/bin/vuze (~ is your Home Directory). (The download page is rather confusing, make sure you download swt and not eclipse).
4. Create a launcher for vuze by right clicking on Applications and choosing “Edit Menus”. The command is “/home//bin/vuze/azureus %f” and the icon can be found in “/home//bin/vuze/”
That’s it.
Olá, eu já tinha instalado o flash 64 e o vuze, porém o vuze sempre fica perguntando sobre o flash player.
Você sabe como resolver isso?
obs: O flash está funcionando perfeitamente no firefox.
Thanks! Worked exactly as described. I wish running the 64-bit version of Ubuntu didn’t require so many workarounds like this.
Thanks!
thank you it works fine for fedora 12 as well
I followed the directions that you have posted, but the same thing happens when I click on the azureus Nothing. I’ll click on the azureus icon and it blinks but thats all it dose
