Using Webex on ArchLinux

Webex is a videoconference system from Cisco. It works under Linux but it is only available in 32 bits... This tuto explains how to use it under ArchLinux 64 bits.

1- Install Firefox (32 bits), Java (32 bits) and Webex 32 bits dependencies

Install the 32 bits version of Firefox, Java, and the 32 bits libraries needed by Webex. For ArchLinux, you need to install AUR package bin32-firefox, bin32-jre, webex-meta.

2- Test Java in Firefox

Launch Firefox 32 bits and test the java installation from this page: https://java.com/en/download/installed8.jsp

If the Java plugin is not found by Firefox, verify the plugin presence (file /usr/lib32/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2-jre8.so) and start Firefox after specifying the plugin directory, as following :

MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib32/mozilla/plugins/ /usr/lib32/bin32-firefox/firefox32

3- Test Webex

Test Webex from this page : https://www.webex.com/test-meeting.html

Attention, seeing the interface is not enough to garantee that everything is OK. You need to wait until you see the following screen :

Balazar Safari Photo 0.1!

Here is the first version of Balazar Safari Photo, an amazing libre (GPL'ed) 3D action and puzzle game.

In Balazar Safari Photo, enter into a strange world to picture weird monsters! However be prudent since some of these monsters will be difficult. There are the "painful" ones, who run away from you, the "mimetic" that hide in the landscape... and there are the "dangerous", those that want to kill you!

But, for nature protection, Balazar Safari Photo is a non-violent game: you do not have the right to hurt these monsters, even the more dangerous ones!

This first version of the game includes 2 levels.
