Yes, that's my point. MAYBE it's already there. Check that first, its fast and easy. If it is not, then AND ONLY THEN resort to software.opensuse.org Why make more work asking software.opensuse.or to look in a repository you already have enabled? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Not the point at all, meld is installed, I have it and use it since years ago. The issue is that the page was working and now fails for me under one user and not another. Why? How do I repair it?

Sure, but what exactly? The error gives no clue, and I don't remember having changed anything. As I said, it works fine for another user, or same user with a different profile. In about:config there are two pages with "locale" content and none is "codecs". Similarly searching for "codecs" finds two strings that are not useful.

have you tried using another browser?

I have not changed anything in my config recently. But probably something you did resulted in a change to your cookies. Different behaviors among different profiles or browsers is often due to cookies changing or being disallowed or forgotten on shutdown. Close all windows & tabs for that domain, delete its cookies, then try again.

That worked, thank you :-) No need to close FF. Right click on page, View Page Info, Security tab, View Cookies. I then narrowed to cookies from "software.opensuse.org" and deleted all them. Then I clicked on "meld" and it properly displayed the expected info. I visually inspected the cookies before deleting them (six, I think) and none had the text locale or codec. The problem is solved, but the exact cause of the problem is unknown.

...

FWIW, I'm not thrilled with the sometimes unpredictable/unintuitive behavior of software.opensuse.org/search either.

Right... I should have known that the problem was related to the cookies: it has happened to me previously on other opensuse.org pages. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

That's good news. It always irritates me how many websites follow the 'clear cookies and completely reload' approach to problem solving. They should be able to recover from any browser state.

Well worth spending some time, IMHO, if you're at all interested in web content. Apart from the net traffic, you can inspect and edit HTML, CSS and Javascript to name but three.

Hum, not really :-) I'm curious, but it is far from my skill set. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

Ok, and how exactly can I find what my Firefox sends that the server dislikes? I can not look at the server logs.

I have not changed anything in my config recently. But probably something you did resulted in a change to your cookies. Different behaviors among different profiles or browsers is often due to cookies changing or being disallowed or forgotten on shutdown. Close all windows & tabs for that domain, delete its cookies, then try again.

That worked, thank you :-)

No need to close FF. Right click on page, View Page Info, Security tab, View Cookies. I then narrowed to cookies from "software.opensuse.org" and deleted all them.

I use Chrome (same with FF and Brave) and from time to time I get the same problem but it's not resolved by deleting Cookies. In fact, deleting ~/.config/google-chrome doesn't resolve the problem. So I really don't think it's local. I believe it's a server thing. And looking at Bugzilla and issues at progress.o.o sort of confirms it. https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/30934 https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1049020 I'm not sure how to debug this but starting FF from cli with another LANG gets it going. not working LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8 firefox working LANG=en_US.UTF-8 firefox I'll report this in buzilla to. -- /bengan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
