Midori Web Browser

Midori crashes in my old Pentium III, but works fine in old Hyundai laptop, with the same system: Debian Sid

Asked by Rodolfo Medina

I'm regularly using Midori on old Hyundai laptop, but once installed it also on
old Pentium III, when pointing it to any web address, it crashes down while on
the terminal the following message appears:

(midori:2863): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 408 was not found when attempting to
remove it
Illegal instruction

. Both systems are working with Debian Sid, regularly upgraded.

Please help.

Thanks,

Rodolfo

This is just a shot in the dark but maybe it happens because of flash plugin. Since like 10.something it is built with SSE2 instructions which is not present on some older CPUs and it would bring down webkit and in turn Midori as well. If this is not the case could you please try getting stacktrace?

Also if you use Debian and you do not build / install new version of Midori yourself the one in the repos is unfortunately a couple years old. So you may want to check if this problem still occurs in the recent version.

The problem disappears if I disable scripts in Preferences > Behaviour.

In Debian it's the 0.4.3. I downloaded and installed the newest 0.5.9 but the
problem persists. Should I do without scripts for good?

Thanks,
