I think you need a 64 bit processor to use a 64 bit kernel

If a computer's processor has more that one core, (multi-core) a 32bit or 64-bit Operating system can be installed

Tim,

Where can I get glade? Only the latest is available and doesn't support editing the panels.

I need Version 3.8 I think it was. I can't remember now. I tried looking for a deb for it, but could only find source without instructions [googled it]. I'm sure I could figure it out, but wanted to know if you knew something easier.

try:

packages.debian.org/jessie/glade

To the right on page you can check each repository by clicking

[ squeeze ] [ wheezy ] [ jessie ] [ stretch ] [ sid ] [ experimental ]

At the bottom of page pick "arch" that you need, you will be redirected to page with list of mirrors to download from pick one then download package.

After download go to download folder right click choose open terminal here

sudo gdebi -n <name.deb>

When you are trying to find a package google

debian <pakage name & version>

Please be carefull, as glade 3.18 will not work with gtk2 and therefor not with gladevcp nor the GUI's based on that. So you will not be able to edit gmoccapy or gscreen files!

and do not use 3.8.0 as it is buggy and will terminate with a segmentation fault, better get from source 3.8.5

Thank you, Tim and newbynobi,

Ill try to find that when I get back from work.

I have been playing with this with mixed results. I first installed LMDE 64bit MATE and had things running but had terrible latency, lowest I could get was 50, worst was 180. So I blew that away and installed LMDE 32bit MATE with the default rt10mah+ kernel. All went well until I tried to run the latency tests which would not do so. Am just try to get the rtai kernel installed at the moment to see if I can get things going again then it will be testing latency...
