MX Linux Forum

Posted: **Mon Sep 09, 2024 3:33 pm**

I don't know where is the problem, in MX, glassfiber or in Distrowatch:

I can't give a mark in a review to a distibution in 'the hallmark of Linux'

Distrowatch like before, I can´t send it. I can´t send them a mail (about it). Server refuses.
Some links in the site (always more than one) don´t work. At one time I passed with a VPN from an American server. I did ask what was wrong.
I have seen it before. I have glassfiber for a week.
Anyone an idea?

I just tried the Distrowatch site and had no access problems, so it's likely your ISP that is the bottleneck.
edited to add that I have a fibre connection too.

Thanks for answering.
That clears things.
I'll contact them.

I also noticed that a VPN from the US and after that a refresh of Distrowatch does the trick.
But this is not very normal, so I'll contact my ISP anyway. Thank you!

I did contact Odido, the provider.
They say it is settings in my pc. So no progress..
It is not only Distrowatch, it is also by certain accounts. Then I do a VPN and all is okay.

But I didn't have the phenomena with ADSL a week ago.
I don't have it in my smartphone. There all goes well.

Let me guess.. smartphone does not run via Odido?

Yes, same network. Odido when on Wifi. Pc on cable-wifi.

Now that is weird.

Have you tried going there using the original live usb? Does that one work?

I don't have the original anymore. I never keep them, because I update the live-usb.

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2024 3:02 pm**

You can download a new one.

Have you tried clearing web browser cache, cookies etc?

Does the server give you any error message or message when it refuses ?

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2024 3:26 pm**

I also have PCLinuxOS on a partition.
Now I have my smartphone and PCLOS who don't exclude links of normal use without VPN.
So it cóuld be MX23 which is doing it. Lets puzzle further.

I have cleared everything.
There are no error messages.

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2024 4:47 pm**

Anyway, it is not a Distrowatch-problem. I orderd something at a webshop Bol.com.
There I could not enter my account.
So after some angry-ness I started my VPN in browser. And surprise: all became okay. But why??

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2024 5:42 pm**

Have you got a browser with nothing added to it.. basically clean installed? You can try going there using that one, see if the result is the same. If it works in there, ok, something in the browser then.

Weird behavior can just be a setting inside a browser, or an extension. Hence my suggestion of trying with the liveUSB, that will rule out something in MX if live does the same. If it does the same on the live, then it is more likely to be your ISP, OR maybe if you have a router in between, could be that.

What does whatismyip say. Does it match the country you should be in?
All things to check.

Yes Falkon. It's worse..

Yes, I'll get back to that and I'll report.

Yes, The Netherlands.

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2024 6:12 pm**

I found an old MX 23 on usb and that one does the same in the browsers.
I suspect something in the new connectivity. But I'm certainly not an expert.
I see some safety and firewall in de router. Can that be obstructive of some sort?

So.. I made a live-usb with a download of MX 23.3.
When I run it the exclusion of links (unless with VPN) does NOT happen. Everything normal. So it is something in my current version of MX. What next?

When you used the live USB, it works? Where you using the Falkon web browser also?

Oneclickvpn. Or Touch. When I use it: no more trouble. But why trouble is my core concern? Why are some (not many) links closed and not with another computer, OS or smartphone?

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2024 12:38 pm**

So.. when you use the liveUSB there is no issue accessing anything.

The VPN you are using on the troublesome is a browser extension.

Just to get some things straight.

Help guys: is creating a new user an option on this install, and seeing what gives with that? If that works, the userprofile can be ported over and the old user removed? Or is this not gonna help?

Yes, it is vpn in the browser. But it works and is simple.
But my question remains, why does it occur? Can I repair it?
If not: no dissaster.

I think this is always a great test. Many times the users profile or settings have gotten corrupt or modified and this will typically prove that.

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2024 12:53 pm**

By the way, it looks like an old problem: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/win ... e06515acf6

So I did just copy and paste the adresstext in the browser and then it works too just like with VPN.

No Falkon is not there after download.

OK, that helps narrow things down. With the live ISO you used Firefox then, correct? If so, try Firefox again on your desktop.
You might be having problems with the Falkon web browser and I'm not familiar with setting up a new profile with that browser.

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2024 1:05 pm**

Thing is, I now see that link, and you stated there were more browsers affected. Or did I misunderstand?

If it is chrome, you can try and fake a reset of that to the default settings, by renaming the google-chrome folder in /home/username/.config/ (of course with chrome off all the way).

Once started, it will then start clean, and create a new google-chrome folder, nothing added to it. Does stuff work normally then, great, you can start fresh. If it doesn't you can simply close chrome, remove that new folder and rename the old back to what it was and it'll be back to the way it was.

Same thing with the other browsers, just find where they are at. Mostly in /home/username/ in a hidden folder, or in /.config/

Easy enough to try in any case.

I have done so before except for the making of profiles. (I have 5 browsers here, FF, Falkon, Vivaldi, Chrome and Tor.) But no success.

All browsers here. Only in MX. Not for example in PCLOS on another partition. Or a smartpone.

Then I would say, try the profile thing I mentioned earlier. I cannot tell exactly how to, never had to do that

I go and see the profile-thing Eadwine Rose.

Thanks a lot for the patience of you all.

And in the meantime I can report that the inlog on the site I named Bol.com does work again.

Mysteries....

You do have to be a bit more complete as we cannot look through your walls.

Odido. A new big provider here in The Netherlands with in it now Tele2 and T-Mobile. Specialist in fiber ..

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2024 2:39 pm**

So you got new hardware?

Eadwine Rose wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2024 2:39 pm So you got new hardware?

Yes. Just like at Tele2. I had two new routers from them through time.
Is that special?

I even remember a discussion on some forum about Odido not allowing other routers on their network.

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2024 2:59 pm**

Could be some setting in the router is the cause

That is why I connected them already twice.
They made a note and will discuss it.
Two days ago en daar wacht ik even op. Maar ik verwacht er niet veel van.
Ze hadden wel dat VPN verhaal gehoord.

+1 ISP's like to use their own DNS servers.

I was lucky enough to get the web admin password from the tech when he hooked me up with a new router.
First thing I did was change the ISP's DNS server to Cloudflare's server.

Oh.. I can come into the router, I have a username and password. But further I am not very good in these router-things.
I also have a repeater, that is mine. That's the wifi side. I do things mostly bij wire.
Siamhie, do you know why forum email-notify does nothing, whatever I try?

Okay. Thanks anyway.

Arrow after the nickname -> edit notificcations option -> board preferences and then right side: the choices: notify or email.
I choose email but seen nothing here for a long time. It did work.
Maby I ask it some time in a new thread.

You can do that in the site help forum. You are not using a gmail address for it, are you? Those are known to cause issues.

Tiny update: Distrowatch has changed the voting link or my provider adapted. The voting-link (and more llinks) does work again without VPN.

Solved icon is that V-button on the top right of each post. Click the one in the post that holds the solution.

I only have three icons edit, warning (report) and quote.
Maybe because I renewed my account because of problems after change of email and password?
My number of posts is now 5 .

It looks like there is a restriction of 5 posts before those other icons show up. Can you see the solved post now that you have 6 posts?

Posted: **Sat Sep 28, 2024 2:28 pm**

Produce even one more post.

No. I don't see the 'v'

And possibly clear your web browser cache?
New accounts are setup for several posts before those 'turn on', possibly something has not updated / refreshed and turned them on.

Vivaldi.

Allright! And thanks guys!!

That is: I trust that it is okay with a new topic.

Maybe I think of something useful.

I can't make this one Solved, so maybe you do that.
