Problem with Online Accounts (and fix)

Open montagdude opened this issue 7 years ago • 15 comments

Hi,

Whenever I try to add any online accounts (through Settings -> Online Accounts), e.g. Google or Facebook, I get an error like the following:

"Unable to confirm identity: Unacceptable TLS certificate"

The first part of the error message changes depending on which account I try to add, but the second part is always the same. I was able to track down the problem with journalctl -f, which indicated that a file /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.crt did not exist. I was eventually able to get it to work by doing the following:

`for FILE in $(ls /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/*.crt); do

cat $FILE >> /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.crt

done`

I don't know if GNOME Online Accounts can be configured to look up the correct certificate in /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla instead of reading the ca-bundle.crt file, which by default is not present on Slackware. If not, maybe some Dlackware package should create this file so that Online Accounts works out of the box.
