XPQ4 i386 is for 64bit Intel too - XPQ4 x64 for AMD Only

bobby · 2016-01-18 08:14

The i386 XPQ4 works on my Intel Duo 2.2ghz 64bit but, the XPQ4 x64 version does not.

So I will need to build 3 different Custom Q4OS builds to cover all pc processors:

1 - Intel i366 Build = Q4OS i386 + XPQ4 i386

1- Intel 64 bit Build = Q4OS x64 + XPQ4 i386

1 - AMD 64 bit Build = Q4OS x64 + XPQ4 x64

Does this sound correct ?

Also, will any configuration possibly work on a Intel power MAC ?

Thanks ahead for help.

Intel 64bit and AMD 64bit should be the same for Debian binaries. You may have i386 Debian/Q4OS installed on your 'Intel Core Duo' machine. Check it with:
$ dpkg --print-architecture

You will have to contact third-party devs for support on non Q4OS software.

Q4OS Team,

$ dpkg --print-architecture

result: amd64

$ hostnamectl

result:

Static hostname: q4osdev
Icon name: computer-laptop
Chassis: laptop
Machine ID: 9994fc73fe1d441783d2d3fadc85eb47
Boot ID: d8d59a27a9044605b4fdeaa88a76e380
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)
Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64
Architecture: x86-64

The XPQ4 x64 package will not install but, the XPQ4 i386 installs and works okay.

This laptop is an emachine E725 (before Acer bought them)

I put in a different hard drive and build from 100% new and See what happens.

Thanks for help on this.

Please show this as resolve

Installed Q4OS x64 and then added XPQ4 before any desktop configuration changes and the "Wrong Architecture:" error went away.

Operator error ? Seems like it
