I'm not sure that article is relavent now. I was able to import the unaltered cert into both firefox and chrome, directly from the browsers. No terminal needed.

 

BUT

 

The problem is I think dpi-ssl is causing problems with the package manager. 

 

I'm still learning about this stuff, so apologies for the ignorance. 

Yep, not having the sonciwall cert installed at the system level is causing problems with the update manager when it attempts to pull something down from https. 

 

On Windows, I just double click the cert and click through a couple of choices and its globally installed. Wish it was that easy here, lol.

Ok, so I actually sat down and followed that guide and it actually worked. Wasn't confident about it cause it was referencing quite an old version of Ubuntu. 

 

Oddly, even though the cert is imported to the OS, you still have to import the same cert into each browser that you plan on using. Importing into the OS only fixes the problem with your package manager/updater pulling down updates. 

 

Thanks for linking to the article!

You really need to READ everything in between the lines in Linux-based stuff.

 

I am not sure what you are doing, but maybe @BudMan can help.

Glad you got it working.  I haven't used Linux in a decade or so ... and the last time I installed certs on Linux was following a "hold your hand" guide when we were moving our PACS from GE to Agfa.

That is because the browsers use their own store for the certs they trust vs just using the system store.  Same thing on windows systems.

    • Is Samsung teasing a Galaxy Z Fold7 Ultra? An official press release suggests so by Sagar Naresh Bhavsar We are inching closer to the launch of this year's premium foldables from Samsung: the Galaxy Z Fold7 and the Galaxy Z Flip7. Recently, a certification revealed that the affordable Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, could also debut alongside the other two foldables. The device is expected to take on the standard Moto Razr 2025. While we were getting excited about the trio, Samsung has put out a press release to create some hype around the upcoming foldables. Interestingly, the company has put great emphasis on the "Ultra" branding, which it usually uses for its Galaxy S-series phone and previously for Note-series phones. So, does this mean, we are getting a Galaxy Z Fold7 Ultra? Time will only tell. As for the press release, it is titled "Meet the Next Chapter of Ultra" and the first line highlights how Samsung has been listening to fans that have demanded "bigger screens, better cameras and new ways to connect and create." To churn up up the hype, Samsung added, "That’s why Galaxy’s next chapter is to provide an experience that seamlessly blends artistry and engineering to elevate everyday interactions." The GIF inside the press-release reveals what looks like the Galaxy Z Fold7 (or the Galaxy Z Fold7 Ultra, if that exists). Rumors have indicated that this year's Galaxy Z Fold7 is getting taller and wider than last year's model, thanks to a bigger display. The Z Fold7 could also feature a titanium backplate to not only reduce its thickness and make it stronger but to shed some weight as well. The company then directs the attention to its AI features such as voice controls for finding the perfect eatery or shopping place, using powerful AI-powered camera features, and so on. We will get to know more about the devices in the coming weeks. By that time, let us know your thoughts, on whether you would like an Ultra foldable or want Samsung to tweak the existing model and keep the space less-crowded.
    • A couple of friends of mine have been building Gunpla for years and got me interested, so I asked and they recommended this as a fairly good quality, very affordable, starting point. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BGN9K1MV It was fun to build, didn't take too long, and helped me decide if I wanted to go further with the hobby, which I did.  Still only got this one built, but that's only due to time availability!
    • I've had an original, a Lite, and an OLED and I have just one question for you.  How big are your hands? I got rid of all three because, simply put, they're sized for kids hands more than anything, especially the Lite.  The Switch 2 is a fair bit larger but I'm not agreeing to Ninty's new EULA for the thing.
    • Where does he say that he'll give 99% to Africa? I agree that he said that he'll give 99% of his wealth, and you quote him saying that the majority will go to Africa. The majority of 99% does not mean all of the 99%. It could mean that he'll give just above half of that.
