To DC LUG Dear folk, 20170207 Cafe/Library WiFi connecting? I teach at local library to 'senior' folk on use of computers. Normally on their machines (mostly Windows 7 or 10, some earlier) or on Library Windows 7. To demonstrate Linux to one user I took in my OpenSUSE leap 42.2 (old Vista removed) laptop, which connects by WiFi easily at my house and another family members's houses using WPA-PSK encryption key. Library has system that you open browser and on trying to get to any new tab/website it gives a log ion screen for user name and password. The connection is encrypted. However my OpenSUSE on browser opening failed to show their screen, but I got a rapid (very rapid) 'connection disconnected' message. Trying OpenSUSE forums shows there is 'sometimes ' a problem however their solution does not appear to work. Setting a new Wifi connection to SSID "Guest" (their site access name) and 'open' (no encryption) as a connection, does not appear to help. Have you any pointers? I will try Live Knoppix or Puppy on my next visit in two weeks time. -- regards Eion MacDonald -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
