 |
|
Hi To all,
since i reinstall my Gentoo i am facing the problem of unable to login the Internet Site http://www.edx.org (before the reinstall i was able to loging using Firefox)
I tried the following this:
- Tried different Internet Browsers (Firefox\Opera\Chrome)
- Conntact edX support:
We do not technically support Linux so we may not have a solution for you. It does seem there is an issue with the internet settings, security software or browser settings causing this
- Test that my Firefox browser support Java Script
Result:
Your web browser supports JavaScript version 1.5
Your web browser is Firefox version 38.0
What else could block me?
Hope you could help me
Regards |

Any plugins enabled / installed?
adblocker
java blocker
flash blocker
flash installed?
javascript not blocked?
did you checked those settings? for flash / javascript / security / whatever can be changed in your browser?
Clean home directory?
worth making a new user with a fresh homedirectory and try it there.
did you checked those? usually you need some sort of java thingy, as see below ...
| Code: | localhost roman # eselect java-vm list
Available Java Virtual Machines:
[1] icedtea-bin-6
[2] icedtea-bin-7 system-vm
localhost roman # eselect java-nsplugins list
!!! Error: Can't load module java-nsplugins
exiting
localhost roman # eselect java-nsplugins show
!!! Error: Can't load module java-nsplugins
exiting

As you suggested, i have created a new account and i am facing the same problems...
By doing this, i have tested my firefox without plugins\blockers and with a clean home directory as you suggested.
As i wrote in my privies post, i have tested for JavaScript and i got that it is active(Your web browser supports JavaScript version 1.5).
Concerning Flash, i need to except activating it.

I used etherreal a lot in the past. You may be able to sniff whats go in and out and see if you get a hint.
Turn on the sniffer and check out whats handled. when its https, you may be out of luck.
I told you the obvious ideas anything else needs heavily reading or trying around at the box in question where the error happens.
USE-Flags
binary firefox or firefox build from source with use-flags?
and also check those webkit-gtk and other crap which afaik is needed by those browsers.

...
And also try different Distro. I usually install a backup distro before I install gentoo. So I have e.g. archlinux / linuxmint on any of my boxes and can boot that up and try it from there. to see if its current firefox or screwed up use-flags / settings / config files / cruft in home directory.
I will watch your topic but I can not give you any more useful hints now... |
