Unacceptable TLS certificate on puppy linux #695

Closed robert-winkler closed 2 years ago

robert-winkler commented 2 years ago

Hi, I compiled vimb on Puppy Linux (http://blog.puppylinux.com/fossapup64-release) and it runs great on a 2008 thin client ;- ). Thanks for this great browser for vim lovers!

However, on several webpages the error Unacceptable TLS certificate is displayed. These pages open on the standard Puppy browser Pale Moon. Since Puppy by default runs with the `root' user, I installed the root certificates; but with no luck.

I imagine that I need to compile in some libraries; but which and how?

Version: 3.6.0-48-gf679960 WebKit compile: 2.34.1 WebKit run: 2.34.1 GTK compile: 3.24.20 GTK run: 3.24.20 libsoup compile: 2.70.0 libsoup run: 2.70.0 Extension dir: /usr/lib/vimb

Steps to reproduce

Compile and install vimb on FossaPup64 (using the devx SFS, git, and make packages). Browse to a webpage such as http://www.pandoc.org

Expected behaviour

Opens the webpage.

Actual behaviour

Error Unacceptable TLS certificate.

@robert-winkler You could try to start vimb from cli to see warning or errors that are written by webkit and libsoup (which should be responsible for the tls stuff). This might help you to dig into the issue. Maybe the certificates are searched in the wrong path or something similar.

@fanglingsu Unfortunately, there is no useful information:

root# vimb
** Message: 11:32:47.223: Could not read style file: /root/.config/vimb/style.css

The missing style message appears directly after starting vimb.

I recompiled vimb on antiX Linux (https://antixlinux.com/) and it works fine! Therefore, this is not an vimb issue and it can be closed.

@robert-winkler Good to hear that it is not an vimb issue - if you find the reason why this does not work on puppy linux - please feel free to share your insights here.
