Comment 3 Herman Viaene 2021-12-29 16:20:14 CET

MGA8-64 Plasma on Lenovo B50 in Dutch
No installation issues.
Installed qtox to test
$ strace -o libtox.txt qtox
[15:13:53.012 UTC] persistence/db/rawdatabase.cpp:199 : Info: Opened database with SQLCipher "4.0 default" parameters
[ALSOFT] (WW) Querying error state on null context (implicitly 0xa004)
[15:13:53.815 UTC] net/updatecheck.cpp:139 : Info: Update available to version "v1.17.4"
[15:13:55.943 UTC] network.c:556 : Warning: unknown address type: 0

The qtoxwindow opened OK and I could add a new profile. Then rumaged around in the different tabs.
Checked the trace, found refs to libtoxcore.
OK for me.
