[SOLVED] Browsers problem

[Zendrael]

Hello!

I'm having a problem with my browsers... when I install firefox, it doesn't run, just display: "Illegal Instruction".

Chromium also say that after outputing this message:

Code: [Select]

a[4943:4953:1225/092031:ERROR:bus.cc(307)] Failed to connect to the bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
[4943:4953:1225/092031:ERROR:bus.cc(307)] Failed to connect to the bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
Illegal instruction

What might be happening?

The dbus extension is either not installed or not installed and started - see the dbus info file for details on how to start the daemon (it can also be started from the panel services button, but some apps required dbus to be running before an x session is started).

Hi Zendrael

when I install firefox, it doesn't run, just display: "Illegal Instruction".

Is this on a Vortex based processor? Please see:

Hi Rich!
Yes, I'm in a Vortex processor! Will give a try to Minefield. Thanks by the link, helped a lot!

Juanito,
I will try to follow the info file and do some tests. Post back in a few hours (yep, I like to do a lot of tests...).

Hello all!

After a lot of tests, I can confirm that even Medifield above 8 does not work on Vortex processor. Version 8 and below works BUT when visiting websites that require some sort of plugin, it crashes into the same problem (illegal Instruction). Any good lightweight webbrowser that can process JS well and HTML + CSS?

Setting up dbus stops the Chromium messages but it still throws "illegal instruction". Maybe the problem here is the processor too.

Dillo is nice but too simple for my needs, I have to access some more complex webpages on this machine.

Thanks

Might be the plugins throwing the illegal instruction with that cpu.
QtWeb's distributed binary claims to be 386 from name.

I also tried Midori but it requires Xorg to work and I think it is too much for this machine to handle.

Any sugestion of a web browser?

[tinypoodle]

QtWeb already suggested, have you tried if it runs?

Also, you could try older versions from opera archives until you find one compatible with instruction set of your processor.

Ended up using minefield on its early version.

All other "modern" browsers was breaking because of the instruction set of this processor.

Thank you all for the help!
