Good morning
A lot of websites tell me I’m using an unsupported browser.
I’m using Xombrero, Tazweb or Midori.
So I tried Firefox, but that one keeps telling me my connection is not safe, and stops working.
The same thing happens with Iron, Netsurf, Palemoon and Seamonkey.
Anyone an idea?

Hello,
Firefox is available on the package manager on 2 versions:
- 17.0.11.esr (= an older version from 2013)
- 62.0 (= the newest version)
Take also a look on this thread:
http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/firefox-questions-about-version-and-language#post-46643
Maybe you installed 17.0.11? Try with 62.0.

Sorry I forgot to give some details.
I'm using Slitaz 5 RC3, and I installed Firefox official.
The problem is not only with Firefox, but also with Iron, Netsurf, Palemoon and Seamonkey.
Coult it have something to do with the date and time on my computer?
This one does have a harddrive (the eeepc 1000 doesn't ) but this one doesn't have a battery,
so the time and date are someware in the past, I haven't been able to reset the time, if I go to
Slitaz config dialogs, and set the time from the web, it doesn't work.

> telling me my connection is not safe
which site do you try?
do you have a pic of the message?
it could be also perhaps a certificate warning (e.g. a site's certificate expired, self-signed,...) and the browser "warns you"
> so the time and date are someware in the past, I haven't been able to reset the time,
try with command date:
- open terminal
- date --help
Usage: date [OPTIONS] [+FMT] [TIME]
Display time (using +FMT), or set time
[-s,--set] TIME Set time to TIME

@Red
If the cmos battery on a computer mainboard has no voltage left, the date/time and bios settings will not be preserved after power is removed.
Try these commands in terminal as root user after connecting to the internet to set the system date and time before you open the web browser.
Open terminal,login root,password is root
Type:
[c]busybox ntpd -dnqp time.google.com[/c]
Hit Enter
For fun experiment I set my date/time to January 4,1980 2:03:13 and go to palemoon.start.me:
[c]root@slitaz:/home/tux# date -s "1980.01.04-02:03:24"[/c]
[c]Fri Jan 4 02:03:24 EST 1980[/c]
[c]root@slitaz:/home/tux# date[/c]
[c]Fri Jan 4 02:04:13 EST 1980[/c]
Firefox error message:
Your connection is not secure
palemoon.start.me uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate does not come from a trusted source. The certificate will not be valid until September 2, 2018, 8:00:00 PM GMT-4. The current time is January 4, 1980, 2:08 AM. Error code: MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_NOT_YET_VALID_ISSUER_CERTIFICATE
Change back to the correct time and date:

Hi
How do I login as root ?
I typed login and root in the terminal and than root again, but it keeps telling me login incorrect.
If I type login and tux in the terminal and than tux again it works !? both in Sakura and Xterm.

@Red
Your command prompt indicates your already root user:
[c]root@slitaz:[/c]
The whoami command will also confirm the user you are running as:
root@slitaz:/home/tux# whoami -h
[c]Command line: whoami -h[/c]
[c]BusyBox v1.27.2 (2018-06-04 11:30:05 CEST) multi-call binary.[/c]
[c]Usage: whoami[/c]
[c]Print the user name associated with the current effective user id[/c]
[c]tux@slitaz:~$ su[/c]
[c]Password:[/c]
[c]root@slitaz:/home/tux# whoami[/c]
[c]root[/c]
Now set the time/date.
Type the bold text and hit the Enter key:
[c]root@slitaz:/home/tux#[/c] busybox ntpd -dnqp time.google.com

Hi
I made the changes, and it worked!
Thanks guy’s, I’m sorry to hassle you all the time, but coming from Windows this is
all new to me.
I think it’s about time I start learning about command lines.
I just downloaded a PDF file THE LINUX COMMAND LINE by William E. Shotts
It’s 537 pages so it will take a while.
In the mean time I might need your help from time to time
So thanks beforehand
