Problem Logging in to Linux jr in Konquerer

[Pleiades]

Doing a test of Mandrake 8.1 (my wife, who is no techie, would love to move away from Windows, if Linux were easy enough for her) and, bearing in mind that I want it for a Windows/Mac type of user, I am very impressed. In a recent review, www.theregister.co.uk gave it a big thumbs up, saying it was easier to install than XP, and I am inclined to agree.

However, I have come up with a slight problem when trying to log into the Linux Jr BBS. When I log in, it takes me back to where I was, as normal, and I can see that I am indeed logged in. When I then select a thread to view and possibly reply to, I am no longer logged in. If I select the "Back" button, I am now logged in. I haven't tried it in Galeon on the same machine (only just thought of that). Has anyone seen this before, and/or know what is going on?

Sounds to me like you have cookies turned off.

You'll need to turn them on in order to stay logged in

Nope, already looked into that.

pbharris - Thanks, I'll look into the date/permissions thing when I get back from the mother's-in-law place (aaaarrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!!)

Sorted. During install I must have set the date incorrectly - it was a day ahead of the actual date.

Thanks for the help, guys.

As you saw, mine was a few years off. I think I didn't select that the hardware clock was set to GMT and thats what caused my problem.

GMT is, at most, 23 1/2 hours off of UTC. Not months or years

Well then I dont know what it was. But something had Mandrake thinking the year was 2054.
