The sysadmins are aware of the issue. Haven't seen any details on what the problem
is yet.

Ok, thought the problem was on my side.

Murphy has been winning on just about everything I have
been doing.

mythtv grabber is having problems on my Frontier FIOS connection;
echo | openssl s_client -connect \
json.schedulesdirect.org:443 \
| openssl x509 -noout -dates

gives a
verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate
so I logged into neighbor Spectrum node and I do not
get error. Since both are Mageia 8 I guessed it was a FIOS
problem. Support kept closing my trouble tickets.

Fine I bought two years of 200/30 mips Spectrum Cable @$50 month.
After finally getting my LAN to connect, I find I still
have the problem. :(

So tried to get some developer help fron the dev mail list.

Installed virtual box mga8 guess and find out it works.
Guessing it is a systemd-networkd service "feature"

Guessing after I write a bunch of code to undo that change
and get it working I am guessing I still have the problem
since neighbor and I were configured the same.

Seems sympa was updated to a newer version on the infrastructure systems (which
run Mageia 8) due to a security fix. While it's working for people who are
already subscribed to the various mailing lists, the web interface is not due
to http://github.com/sympa-community/sympa/issues/1020

Eventually they'll sort it out. :-)

Try making a backup of /etc/pki/ and /etc/ssl/ and then running
"urpmi --replacefiles --replacepkgs rootcerts".

If that fixes it I'm curious what changed compared to the backups and why the
latest update didn't work on that system.

Yea Gadds, that fixes the problem. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

Well shuckey dern, going to guess I introduced the problem when updating
certs that had expiration dates greater than 398 days. Chopped down output
from my check certs script follows:

# ch_4_expired_certs
/etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem/email-ca-bundle.pem validity period, 7180 days,
/etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem/tls-ca-bundle.pem validity period, 7180 days,
/etc/pki/tls/cert.pem validity period, 7180 days, is greater than 398
/usr/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/twisted/test/cert.pem. no_trailing_newline,
validity period, 36500 days,
/usr/share/linphone/rootca.pem validity period, 10741 days,
/usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/certs/cacert.pem validity period, 7305 days,

I am guessing tls-ca-bundle.pem was causing my problem after I had updated
the validity period to 398 days,

Going to add them to the exclude check list.

MythTv now has show schedule for next 18 days,

Better deal than I got. Perhaps that's because I didn't go with business
class.

First year was 100 down @ $50/month, but that was the standard network
speed at the time.

At the end of the year I expected to be boosted to full price, but they
only put it up to $60/month. About six months later they boosted the
standard speed to 200 across the local section of the network.

The end of the second year will be in a couple of months, and I expect
they will boost me to full price of $70/month then.

Come to find out I have 400/20 for 36 months. My oldish Netgear
router could only get ~220 down. Bought a new wire/wireless router and
now get the ~4oo down.

I screwed up. I swapped ISP because Frontier FIOS said they could not call
be back on the two trouble tickets they closed.

After buying Spectrum and got a connection, called FIOS to cancel and
after indicating Spectrum at $49.99 month, the rep said I could have
new promotional higher speed for ~$20 less a month.

Come to find out the call back problem is with my VOIP provider or my VOIP adapter.
Since I can not call 911 or other three digit numbers, I am changing VOIP providers.

Cost is going from ~$30 a year to ~$8.00 a month. The reliability and 911 is
worth the extra cost due to my new heart problems.

My Linksys router delivers around 200 down to my wire connection, but
wireless not so much. But then, wireless speeds depend on both ends.

Right now, I'm sitting at my kitchen table with my Probook 6550b laptop
with a first-generation i3, vintage around 2010. The router is on a
different floor, on the other side of the house. I'm running a "N"
connection at 2.6GHz. because it's more reliable under these conditions
than the supposedly faster 5GHz. frequency. Those are the only wireless
options available on this laptop with its present wifi card. Network
Manager is reporting a connection quality of 65-75%.

Just ran a speed test, and it said 43.8/11.5. And for my purposes,
that's plenty.

All of my equipment could be considered "oldish." Most was purchased
used or was a hand-me-down gift. But it works well with Mageia, and does
all I want to do with it. That's what's important.
