Mutual GNU / Linux

Does the file exist?
If you cd into the install folder, then type a

find . -name client_default.cfg

what's the output?

it does exist and that's where I edited the sound, but now it's in the original state.

I might be a bit late but just regarding this pat of the issue:

client_default.cfg is the default configuration and not supposed to be edited.
If you want to change the settings try client.cfg instead (if a setting doesn't exist just copy it from the default)

I can't really help you regarding your general problem as I usually play on a windows machine...
but: since you have a 64bit system it might be that some libraries are 64bit and needed as 32bit (or the other way around after your switch to the 64bit client)

In addition to that:
Who is the owner of the client_default.cfg and what rights are set for it? (on command line go to the directory and do "ls -l", of course without the quotes, to get the full list)
Is it the same as your user or another one?

I was wondering what ever happened to you Likka. Sadly I'm not a computer expert and don't have anything more than some encouragement. I hope you can get it fix soon, and hope to see you back in witherings. Good luck!
