Hi,

In testing the Alpha release of debathena-precise-cluster I ran across
the following:

A significant number of 32 bit applications have missing library
dependencies due to ia32-libs not being installed. I'll report this and
other missing packages in trac.

Various multimedia applications and chromium-browser generate errors
like "shm_open() failed: permission denied". chromium-browser helpfully
suggests running:

chmod 1777 /dev/shm

as root to fix this. 

vlc is broken, probably due to the chroot (launching as "vlc -v" will
print messages implicating this). A workaround is to set VLC_PLUGIN_PATH
to /usr/lib/vlc/plugins.

                                          Alex
