for 30,000 packages that would be an insane task). Some source-based distros could try to provide a 32-bit version and even then issues might arise which would have a very hard solution - because the distro maintainers cannot actually solve coding problems (IMHO.
#Qupzilla 2.0 not work windows xp software#
not a real bug).įor comparison, imagine that application X is supported by its coders as 64-bit software and not as 32-bit. Reflecting better on the subject, I wonder if the present bug could not also be qualified as a "feature request" (i.e. If the machine wasn't fast enough for high CPU demanding apps, it still would be good enough for many uses - like some kinds of home server, for instance.īut in the case of this PC, it is good enough to play HD video (with mplayer or VLC).
#Qupzilla 2.0 not work windows xp driver#
I've seen scanners thrown out because there was no driver for them in Windows 7, while they worked nicely in XP. I think it is a kind of waste to deactivate some piece of hardware because of software. Sometimes developers simply have other problems and decide they won't solve this one fair enough, the code is usually GPL'd, one is free to recompile things. In that case, it is not required per se, but it is made to be required. Sometimes there is a _need_ to use such instruction in other times, lack of resources make a developer unable to maintain two versions of the code (with and without the use of SSE2). Requiring SSE2 itself is also a subject for debate. It's not about Flash, because it's not installed on this PC instead, I suppose Webkit (and thus Qtwebkit) is the part that both use to render web pages and it seemingly requires SSE2. Thanks for your attention.įurther testing reveals that Midori actually can render simple sites - those with just text like and others Wikipedia though made Midori crash. Should you need the programs to be rerun with some special parameter please ask about it. In the present case, it must be other libraries qupzilla seems to depend on Qt5 there's a discussion of the subject in bugs 1421. This CPU (AMD Sempron 2300+) hasn't the SSE2 instruction, which caused bug 15457 in the xapian library. QIODevice::write: device not open (QupZilla: 0 extensions loaded (midori4:21852): Gtk-WARNING **: BookmarksAdd: missing action BookmarksAdd Though I installed debuginfo packages, there's no meaningful error dump or ~]$ midori

Midori when I try access to ""and qupzilla just by opening a new tab. Both Midori and Qupzilla give the same error ("Illegal instruction").
