I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 and by the way my wireless is not working. So, I'm trying to fix this problem manually. I have installed the 64 bit Ubuntu already. The problem is I cannot install any packages because when I do I get an error. For example if I run the command
sudo dpkg -i wireless-bcm43142-dkms_6.20.55.19-1_amd64.deb
I get this error:
dpkg: error processing wireless-bcm43142-dkms_6.20.55.19-1_amd64.deb (--install: package architecture (amd64) does not match system (i386)
I also get this error if I try to install any other package. My system is a Dell 3421 which has an i5 processor so I don't know why Ubuntu think I have a i386 system. If I run the uname
command I get these results:
uname -i
i686
uname -p
i686
uname-m
i686
uname -a
