No Secure Site Access

[lost_in_space]

I've been playing around with suse, kubuntu, and ubuntu.

with linux, i can't log on to secure sites, e.g. gmail. i just get timed out

i dual boot with xp and here's the deal

xp and firefox = ok

kubuntu and konqueror = ok

suse, kubuntu and firefox = no

ubuntu and firefox/epihany = no

i've played with the settings on firefox, but no luck

i've posted on ubuntu and firefox forums and not got anything that helped.

any ideas? i'm stumped

hi'

just an idea, did you enable the https in the network section?

Please people if we talk about problems give the version number of the software and operating system.

P.S. information like Kernel versions (if you know) are also usefull

thanks for responding guys

richard,

it's dapper drake, ubuntu 6.06

kernel 2.6.15

firefox 1.5.04

gnome 2.14.1

francois,

can't find where to enable https, but if i could, i bet that would be the issue.

i tried networking and network tools in ubuntu, and preferences in firefox, but i don't see anything relating to https.

Hello Lost_in_space,

Open Firefox and type about:config into the URL navigation (where you normally type internet address), after this you will get all your Firefox settings, look at "security" and look if the SSL standard for the website you are trying to login to is set to "default - boolean - true"

that was quick, thanks

i toggled everything in security to "true

still no luck. i'm just trying to get to gmail.

maybe i'll try to compare my firefox settings on xp to the ones on ubuntu
