SSL certificate warning at boot

Fri Nov 22, 2013 7:14 am
Hi,

I've got this modal dialog right on start:

The site in question is obviously no danger. How am I supposed to get rid of the thing?

Rather unusual that this would trigger - do you have similar issues browsing to librivox.org in Konqueror by any chance? I'm guessing that this is a bug in KDE's SSL handling.

Okay, that means it is unfortunately a bug in KDE's SSL handling. All I can suggest is checking the box to continue forever each time this occurs - chances are it will eventually right itself (Akregator has been known to complain about google.com in the past - eventually it sorts itself out)

What box?

Prior to the dialog you posted a screenshot of appearing, there should be another one informing you the connection to librivox.org is insecure, offering you the choice to Cancel, Continue or Show Details. The dialog above is the result of Show Details. Had you continued, it would have asked you if it should continue for the Current Session, or Forever.

Which version of the KDE workspaces are you using? Also, on which distribution are you on? Early this year I saw similar warnings caused by packaging errors of SSL certificates.
