Issues accessing Qubes?
- Ensure Chrome is updated to the latest version — https://www.whatismybrowser.com/guides/the-latest-version/chrome
- Ensure the device is updated with the latest Operating System and driver updates.
- Try another device to see if the problem persists — preferably of a different Make/Model.
If still having issues, email peter@learn2code.nz with:
- Student name and School where session is attended.
- Parent contact details.
- Operating System + version, Make, and Model of the device.
- The “SHARE YOUR SYSTEM INFO WITH TECH SUPPORT” URL from https://www.whatismybrowser.com/ on the device.
- A screenshot of the Developer Tools Console, straight after a page reload/refresh:
- Open the Developer Tools. NOTE: If using the keyboard shortcut method, click in the Address Bar then use the shortcut as Qubes blocks those key-presses in the main window — https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/console/#open_as_panel
- Ensure the ‘Console’ tab is selected. If the console isn’t docked at the bottom (for the greatest horizontal width) then click the ┇ menu and choose the “Dock to bottom” dock side.
- Refresh the browser tab on the https://www.qubes.nz URL to generate a fresh console log. Wait until the tab has finished loading — e.g. http://bit.ly/Qb2018T2DevCon
- Take a screenshot, ensuring it shows as much of the end of the console output as possible — https://www.popsci.com/take-screenshot-on-any-device
- Attach the screenshot to your email.
