   As you say, you've got an old computer. Maybe your CPU doesn't support SSE2 instraction set. Type in your terminal the following command to find if your processor has the sse2 flag:

   $ less /proc/cpuinfo

   Look under flags for sse2. If you only see sse and not sse2 then most likely this is the reason why Vivaldi doesn't run on your system. This is a chrome issue I remember from when I was using an old 32 bit machine.

   Hi again,

   sse2 is there. Surprisingly, so is pae.

   I know it's an old machine, but it works remarkabley well with Slitaz! At the moment I have the TazWeb browser (with which I'm typing this), Midori, Thunderbird mail, and the sakura terminal open, and am using 244/690MiB RAM, so I have lots to spare :)

   My needs are rather simple: email, web browsing, and the odd Office document. And I also use it as a music player (I use DeadBeef).

   I had set it up for our local SPCA about 6 months ago (they were robbed and all of their computer equipment was stolen). Then I acqured an i5 that is about 3 years old and was running Windows 7, but didn't have a Windows key (not sure why). So I put Linux on the i5 and took it to the SPCA in exchange for this one.

   You will be pleased to hear that the Midrand (Johannesburg, South Africa) SPCA is running Linux exclusively now!

   Don't worry about Vivaldi... I've found that Midori and the TazWeb browser do pretty much what I need, and I have Opera as a backup.

   Thanks again for your help!

   Cheers,
   Mike

   Hi Mike,

   I am sorry to hear about the theft of your office equipment in Jo'burg. I am, on the other hand happy to know that the shop is now fitted with linux ;) Pity about Vivaldi not wanting to run. This thread is really concerning glibc and it has spun off topic now. I wish you all the best, and good health to the animals.

   Cheees,
   Mike (also)

   Old versions of Vivaldi browser, suitable to glibc-base and nss
   versions on SliTaz can be installed using get-vivaldi too,
   for example:
   # tazpkg -gi get-vivaldi
# get-vivaldi --version=1.9.818.50-1
