alfa1It works (both user and server)! I had to update "openssl" and related packages (while still older than 1.0.2, their built dates are 2014-2016; 1.0.2 is from January 2015) before doing the "quit/add files" thing (and I restored the changes before updating it).00:33
blast007did you get firefox working too?00:33
alfa1I already had another browser working previously which is more modern (SeaMonkey). But I stopped testing Firefox because I realized it is not installed/native but a [mobile] version.00:35
alfa1(I have to accept new certificate and then it works anyway; but for lots of sites sadly)00:36
blast007okay.  I was going to mention that Mozilla generally doesn't use the system certificates, so you'd have to load the new root certificate into the browser as well (and possibly remove the old expired root)00:37
alfa1you are right: the folder into /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla, which the system uses for all, are the firefox native version ones00:39
alfa1I will have to try that later00:39
alfa1s/folder/certificates/00:40
blast007I don't think the files in /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla are used by Firefox/SeaMonkey.  I think those are just a bundle of certs that Mozilla *provides*.00:40
blast007For instance, those files are on my headless server00:41
blast007the Firefox/SeaMonkey/Thunderbird/etc certificates are managed within the browser00:41
blast007for Firefox ESR 74, it's Preferences > Privacy & Security > View Certificates, and then the Authorities tab00:42
blast00778*00:42
alfa1my Seamonkey is under Wine :)00:43
blast007it's the same thing on the Windows version00:43
alfa1but it is using surely other sources since it worked previously (and I think it is not [mobile])00:43
blast007Mozilla browsers have their own certificate store that you need to update, at least if the browser itself isn't up to date00:44
alfa1I updated those too00:45
alfa1just before00:45
alfa1still it was not present the one we needed00:45
alfa1I checked00:45
alfa1(or at least the pair "quit/add")00:45
alfa1names were not repeated00:46
alfa1or similar00:46
alfa1but mozilla firefox uses the system certificates if it is installed I guess; checking...00:47
alfa1(if firefox is installed)00:47
blast007I don't think it does... the Windows version of Firefox *might*, at least in some cases, if it's recent.  I seem to recall that was added.  Might be behind an optional setting though.00:48
blast007yeah, there's an option to allow FF to use system certs, but I don't know if that works on Linux.00:53
alfa1I see the option into browser certificates management, yes: I will try to delete and import00:53
blast007yup, that's the way I'd recommend00:54
alfa1ok; working! thanks!00:58
alfa1I didn't delete X3 but stopped trusting on it for web sites (unchecked it)00:59
alfa1changing topic: using space at start of a line on the chat makes it not logged as before?01:00
alfa1does make it*01:02
alfa1 test01:03
blast007I have no idea.  We're using an entirely different bot, so that might not apply.01:10
alfa1ok01:12
alfa1which is the nick of the bot?01:14
blast007BZNotify01:15
alfa1the log one?01:16
alfa1ah "ChannelLogger", I see01:17
alfa1blast007: must be the variable "noLogPrefix"; it would be good to be set to space again IMO01:34

root4hi, im alfa1; I am having trouble now connecting to the graphic interface of linux after updating [openssl] and others iirc; any idea what is happening?18:17
*** blast007[m] <blast007[m]!~blast007m@2001:470:69fc:105::7ec> has joined #bzflag18:18
root4(I can join with console)18:18
blast007hard to say18:21
blast007check logs and also inspect what you upgraded (which may also be in the logs)18:21
root4I think never happened before; I try logging in several times and every time it fails and returns to the login screen18:22
blast007tried adding a new user and logging in with that new user?  that would narrow down if it's system-wide or just something broken with your account.18:23
root4log doesn't say anything as far as I saw; good idea: new user (I tried with 2 and failed)...18:24
root4sorry I am loggued as root, rejoining18:25

alfa1I restored the versions of the packages to the initial values then I am able to join again... but now bz doesn't work :( (I needed to check it, just in case, because I was trying yesterday by using firefox sometimes not bzflag).20:34
alfa1I got openssl versions mismatch on ~/.xsession-errors on both users. I researched and all solutions seemed a bit risky. (New user created was able to join as well as an old user which was not logged yesterday.)20:34
alfa1Just wanted to shared it. Still don't know what to do for now. I surely will keep thinking later.20:34
alfa1and the second 2 users used to research/downgrade are able to join now as well (then not behaving like the first 2)20:36
alfa1a bit/a lot risky since some were telling to break dependencies (to uninstall "openssh" and install it again or something similar)20:39
alfa1openssl* (some were talking of "openssh" as well)20:39
alfa1I guess Firefox works with the simple interchange of the certificates because it is more modern than my system20:42
alfa1it uses libssl3.so20:44
blast007alfa1: check if these two commands work (I would expect the first to fail, but I wonder if the second works):20:44
blast007curl -I https://one.secure.porteighty.org/20:44
blast007curl -I https://three.secure.porteighty.org/20:44
alfa1yes: first fails; second works20:47
blast007cool.  I'll be switching the BZFlag servers over to work like the second link.20:47
alfa1oh nice, thank you!20:48
alfa1if I may know: what is the difference?20:52
alfa1(or tell me later when you finish)20:53
blast007the second is generated without a workaround for older android devices, which confuses OpenSSL versions older than 1.1.020:53
blast007but leaving the workaround out won't break old android devices until the end of September 202420:54
blast007("old" in this case being older than 7.1.1)20:54
alfa1ah, nice20:55
alfa1apart: computers are more important than cellulars :)20:56
alfa1I know my system is old btw20:57
alfa1(still working but near to need upgrade)20:57
blast007just trying to think of the best way to do this, since I also need to update certbot to be able to do this21:00
blast007on my test system I just used pip to get the current version, but I don't like using system-wide pip installed software21:01
alfa17.1.1 - December 1, 201621:02
blast007yeah, I'm not too concerned about android21:02
alfa1nice21:02
alfa1take your time; don't worry for me21:03
alfa1I still can join and play21:03
alfa1and thanks all!21:04
