Authorization problem with LogMeIn - SSL configuration?
Hello people.
I first thought it might be a problem with Firefox, but after installing Opera, I had exactly the same problem (thanks to those who helped there!).
A friend of mine had asked me to help him out with a problem, and gave me access through LogMeIn. I had entered previously, while I still had Slackware 12.x installed (32 bit), but now, with SW64, and FF3.5.x, I can't get in. I mean, I can _log_ in, but clicking on 'Remote control', the system advances past 'Connected' and then disconnects (there seems to be a timeout).
I configged the logging in LMI for including debug information, and got this:
The line before the 'Error' line, translated to English, says as much as 'The existing connection was dropped (interrupted) by the host". The user forums at LMI aren't very helpful - the problem is discussed but no solution.
There is one line marked as 'Error', I've tried to google this message, read a lot of mails commenting it, but most of the issues were Ubuntu-related. I couldn't find any difference in configuration of OpenSSL, /etc/ssl/xxx, etc, as compared to before changing to SW64. They just all look identical. I can't find any .pem file on the disk, but then there wasn't one before, either.
I have just an ADSL connection - my IP regularly changes. I can't say I remember ever having worried about reverse DNS. Wouldn't this be under control of the ISP?

this is a known issue with 64-bit flavors of linux (known for a while actually...) but yr in luck! I found this link for ya, try it out and lemme know what u think - otherwise I will give 'er a whirl and see what happens, as I have yet to give this one a shot ;;
So what I did, was I downloaded the 32-bit version of this plugin and installed it by using nspluginwrapper (the same procedure typically used for flash support in 64-bit linux). If you download the .tar.gz version, you should find an .so file.
After you download that file you have to follow the following instructions:
1) untar the file: (e.g. tar xvf ./logmein-client-1.0.387-1.tar.gz)
2) make sure you have it in a directory that you can reference and store for future use (I have mine in ~/Source/logmein-client-1.0.387-1/libractrl.so)
3) make sure you have nspluginwrapper installed (in ubuntu 9.10, if you don't, you should be able to type "sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper" to get this to work)
4) run the following command as root or sudo: "sudo nspluginwrapper -i ~/Source/logmein-client-1.0.387-1/libractrl.so"
5) restart firefox
Number four is important to run as root, installing the plugin in user space did NOT appear to work.
Hope this helps someone.
otherwise, u are dead in the water... I actually have been running win7x64 via kvm and/or virtualbox, and then getting into logmein that way on my slackware 13.0 x64 machine, until I just found this link. so please report back yr luck, and we shall go from there!

Hello agentdcooper,
Thanks for the info.
I'm quite convinced this is not my problem - I'm not using any plugin to access LMI - never have. The thread speaks about using the plugin if java fails - but I have a running Java installation. As far as I understand things, I don't need a plugin.

Reason: Spelling
Welllll.... Maybe not - I had missed the last part of the thread, where it says the 64bit java plugin is incompatible with LMI. Is this really true? I thought Java was the flagship of compatibility?
I have very little incentive (LMI is not enough) to install 32-bit Java again, and invite problems with ndiswrapper etc.
