More and more software are compiled with sse2 optimizations. Requiring an i586 machine is not enough. Nowdays building for i386 is a non sense but i586 could be too. My desktop is an old (10 years old) Athlon XP. Still working fine for common task but now is out :(
You bought last of breed, eh? I still have 3 such running 13.1, and might have all 3 running Factory but for http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=889714 "installation aborts before GUI starts...."
Packages with sse2 optimizations are: flash, chrome/chromiun, google-earth, xapian and Qt5.
Any chance the YaST installer has included those and/or CMOV and constitutes the reason for that bug? QT5 maybe the reason?
Qt 5.3 depends on SSE2 when using the default (upstream) compile flags. It is needed for the QML JIT compiler, otherwise it uses an interpreter. Qt5 can be compiled without SSE2, but will be somewhat (most code) to considerably (QML code) slower. Qt5 with and without SSE2 code can be co-installed if packaged properly. For the ISOs, it should be tested if the Qt5 SSE2 code has a relevant performance impact to warrant the extra space needed. (libQtQuick5-*.i586.rpm is about 2.3MByte) Bug: http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=897758 Kind regards, Stefan -- Stefan Brüns / Bergstraße 21 / 52062 Aachen home: +49 241 53809034 mobile: +49 151 50412019 work: +49 2405 49936-424-- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
