[arch-general] iTunes on Arch Linux
Hi, on my Arch Linux host I run Windows XP as guest in Virtual Box. From one day to the other some Internet connections don't work anymore. If I try to connect iTunes to their server, there is no Internet connection. If I try to connect to https://startpage.com/ by a guest's browser, there's no Internet connection, while for http://www.google.de/ there is. https://startpage.com/ is available by the Arch Linux host's browsers. Another https website, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Secure is available by the guest's browsers too. What could be the cause, that for some things the Internet is available for the guest and for other things the Internet isn't available. Some Heartbleed fix or some missing fix? Safari's German message says that it can's connect to https://startpage.com/ , because it can't establish a secure connection. iTunes just nags that I should check, if there is an Internet connection. Unfortunately I need iTunes. Any ideas how to fix it or another way to run iTunes on Linux? Regards, Ralf
Same here. The main problem is that ios blocks linux. So untill they finally add support we need to wait for libimobiledevice to be updated. Try podcasts or ftp. 2014-04-20 17:21 GMT+02:00 Ralf Mardorf <ralf.mardorf@alice-dsl.net>:

"can't establish a secure connection" could mean a DNS or hostname lookup failure, a TCP connect failure, or perhaps some sort of SSL certificate problem. To figure out where the problem is, try connecting with ping & telnet from a DOS cmd prompt, using both hostnames and IP addresses (telnet to port 443 for https), and try a different browser. As always when debugging Windows, it doesn't hurt to scan for malware, e.g. run Malwarebytes Carl
