Hello again slackers.

Ok so it seems my browser's have some hyper security thing going on.
Every site I go to on any browser hassles me flat out about the site not being secure and I looked up some.stuff and found out it was to do with like HTTPS or something, it's driving me crazy how can I fix this issue thankyouuuu.

Check your clock.

Code:

$ date

Eventually set the correct time like this.

Code:

# ntpdate pool.ntp.org

Cheers,

Niki

Any other ideas ?

Did you do a full installation? Or did you by any means miss the ca-certificates package?

yes i did a full installation.
no idea, as i'm not familiar with it, also there wasn't an option for it. why would there be an option for ca-certificates. ???

There isn't - we just quite often get people in this forum ripping out random packages from their installations and being confused about why they don't work, so it's our go-to first suggestion most of the time

What happens if you try accessing HTTPS websites with other tools? e.g.:

Code:

curl https://www.linuxquestions.org
wget -O- https://www.linuxquestions.org

If I just got annoyed and re-installed slackware, would this thread get marked as solved ? Sorry, it's been sometime since i was here, and I want to be a good/helpful community member.

So this is not solved ?

Assuming the above, a silly question.

After the full install of 14.2, did you apply the patches ? IIRC there were some cert updates.

jhsdcsjdcvbdj · 08-28-2017, 08:40 PM

No, I never solved the problem, I'm not sure what it was too be honest, Something to do with certificates, I think maybe I botched the install somehow.

But have installed again since then, and that problem has never come back, I have also stopped using KDE.

(i actually asked if the right thing to do was mark it solved or delete it, but i didn't really get an answer, and i couldn't figure out how to mark it for admin deletion or what not)

I have another problem now though, in a new post if you are feeling generous
