Internet login problem

Sat Jan 02, 2016 1:15 am

Hello friends. Just got into linux/rpi. Finally got a raspbian D/L working with internet. and I like it, though it's quite different, I tried to D/L firefox, they don't have a raspbian version, but the epiphany browser works fine.

The problem I have is that I can log onto one wifi signal, my android hotspot, but not on the other, the land based router. I don't understand why it would log on one, but not the other...?!?!

Firefox in Raspbian is called iceweasel (due to licensing issues). It may run a bit slow on a Pi.

Runs fine on my Pi2; a bit slow on other Pi models - I guess it depends on how you run it, I don't usually open many tabs

I should try Iceweasel on a Pi2 someday. It probably isn't much different to the ancient x86 laptop I'm using to write this. In fact the Pi2 might even be a bit faster with its four cores compared with the single core of the laptop. Both have 1GB of RAM.

So why is it logging on one wifi but not the other...?

I got a "error 15" sigterm come up after it was trying to log on, after 4 way handshake established. It was reading the mac and trying to get an ip address, but kept resetting, then code 15 came up.

The other wifi logs on OK I get internet.
