What Causes KDE SSL Information Dialog to Appear?
by David C. Rankin 07 Dec '22

All, I was away from my computer for a while and came back and there was a "KDE SSL Information" dialog on my screen informing me of a problem with the national weather service NOAA site certificate. Here is what I saw: https://paste.opensuse.org/37109107 I've used KDE3 since? SUSE 8? and I've never just had this dialog appear. The IP listed does belong to the correct entity, e.g. whois 140.90.101.79 # # ARIN WHOIS data and services are subject to the Terms of Use # available at: https://www.arin.net/resources/registry/whois/tou/ # # If you see inaccuracies in the results, please report at # https://www.arin.net/resources/registry/whois/inaccuracy_reporting/ # # Copyright 1997-2022, American Registry for Internet Numbers, Ltd. # NetRange: 140.90.0.0 - 140.90.255.255 CIDR: 140.90.0.0/16 NetName: NOAA-EAST3 NetHandle: NET-140-90-0-0-1 Parent: NET140 (NET-140-0-0-0-0) NetType: Direct Allocation OriginAS: Organization: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAABO-Z) RegDate: 1990-04-09 Updated: 2021-12-14 Ref: https://rdap.arin.net/registry/ip/140.90.0.0 OrgName: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration OrgId: NOAABO-Z Address: 325 Broadway City: Boulder StateProv: CO PostalCode: 80305 Country: US RegDate: 2020-08-25 Updated: 2020-08-25 Ref: https://rdap.arin.net/registry/entity/NOAABO-Z I do have bookmarks for the weather sites in Firefox, but not in konqueror. While konqueror in KDE3 may be the best file-manager ever made, the browser side has been dated and dead for a decade. So I have no clue what generated this dialog. Anybody else ever see one, or have an idea what triggered it? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Fusion-Icon (Compiz Fusion Icon) in KDE3 repo SegFaults
by David C. Rankin 24 Nov '22

24 Nov '22

All, Just tried the Fusion-Icon to mess with compiz a bit. It was working on 15.0, but needed help with some of the various features, but on 15.4, it won't start at all resulting in: $ fusion-icon * Using the Qt4 Interface * No module named PyQt4 ... Trying another interface * Using the Qt3 Interface Segmentation fault (core dumped) Any idea where to start here? Open a bug? I'll see if I can start compiz manually with compiz --replace to switch from kwin to compiz, but fusion-icon is the convenient way to do it as well as switch back and forth between the window decorators. -- David C.

Original Server Authentication Dialog
by David C. Rankin 17 Nov '22

All, For completeness, this "Server Authentication" dialog is the first dialog that was shown, clicking "Details" brought up the last one I posted: https://paste.opensuse.org/33161863 I haven't attempted any connection to tgftp.nws.noaa.gov. That's what makes this so bizarre. I did get a recent e-mail from them: nws.radarfeedback(a)noaa.gov But that was in Thunderbird. There isn't any attachment or live link to any ftp site there, so I'm at a loss at what triggered the "Server Authentication" and SSL Information dialogs. UNLESS -- this is the kweather app connection -- now this is making sense (though I didn't know that was SSL or that a cert-error in kweather could trigger a check??) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
