[SOLVED] Hoopla digital is not loading in Firefox in Slackware 15 live

xiongnu · 12-23-2023, 11:05 AM

greetings!

I've been running Slackware 15 live on a NUC machine since 15 was released. Lately, i noticed that HooplaDigital webpage is refreshing constantly with only site log displayed. Not sure whether Hoopla has stopped supporting the FF browser comes with Slackware 15 live or something else.

Firefox browser I use in Slackware is 91.5.1esr (64-bit).

any advice is appreciated!

Is your Live running from an USB memory or CD/DVD?
If from USB memory...
Have you tried updating anything on it?

hi, I'm running it from USB drive. the drive contains the Slackware live image, and I haven't updated anything on the drive. I've rebooted NUC and tried again but to no avail.

The version of Firefox in Slackware 15.0 as provided in the "patches" directory is 115.6.0esr. That is a lot newer than your 91.5.1esr.

If you want to stick with a Slackware 15.0 Live ISO, why not get the most recent one at https://slackware.nl/slackware-live/...e64-15.0-live/ ? That ISO is re-generated every time there is an update to Slackware 15.0 patches. It should still run Slackware 15.0 on your NUC but then with all the latest patches applied.
