Hmm, this is weird...one thing that caught my eye when trying to import the intermediate CA certificate by just following the link below is the window that opened had the "Details" text in red background...which tends to not be a good sign.
So considering I had the browser running in Spanish language, got me thinking...what if Chromium is messing it up with the different way of interpreting dates (you know, MM/DD/YY vs DD/MM/YY) for the certificates' validity period? And so I started up Chromium from the command line in English (LANGUAGE=C chromium), tried to import the certificate from a file on disk...and it worked. Did the same for my other personal certificate...and also worked. But it was still weird to notice a few things : - Chromium was unable to see files in some locations, for example /tmp - Chromium was unable to see some files with certificates in other locations - System dialogs to pick files from the system lacked icons - And when opening a certificate from a link, a new window is opened...which is still in Spanish, not in English...so it is probably not from Chromium So the quest for answers continued and found out these windows are opened by a separate application, see below an example command line : """ # ps -efa UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD username 120125 5007 3 00:20 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/gcr-viewer /home/username/Downloads/AC_FNMT_Usuarios.cer """ Which brought me to Bug 1771880 : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse/+bug/1771880 , as the symptoms for me regarding this application are exactly the same (import button greyed out and the message "Cannot import because there are no compatible importers" is popped up when hovering the greyed button). This seems to be a problem with the "/usr/bin/gcr-viewer" GNOME application which , basically, seems to be badly broken as per the comments there. No apparent fix. Considering my most immediate issue is now worked around as explained above and I can continue using my certificates even after going back to running the browser in Spanish, I will leave it here. Looks like a combination of two problems : * One definitely with Chromium * Another one with "gcr-viewer", which doesn't work either in any language At least, this issue is now documented with a workaround for all those hitting this wall. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1662440 Title: Unable to import FNMT certificates in chromium or chrome To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1662440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
