Can't access Outlook.com from Ubuntu
I did a clean install of of Ubuntu few weeks ago (was working on Windows10). I am facing this totally frustrating problem. I cannot access my hotmail/outlook account.
I get to the site, i enter my credentials, i am passing the security test and then nothing...just a blank page.
Just like that!
What i get on Inspect is just a blank html body, and on console there is also nothing.
Searching around i saw it has something to do with DNS. I install NSCD, restarted the service, even tried to use google's DNS server but setting them as default through my router, but nothing!

What makes you think it has something to do with DNS? Have you tried another browser (e.g. Chromium)?

I am not saying that that's the problem...it is just another guess...I tried Chrome, Chromium, Firefox even IE with wine for crying out loud...nothin...I even did a reinstall of the OS with another copy but still nothing..on the other hand my laptop which is running WindowsOS is connecting fine

Can you go on "Inspect" and to the networking tab to see which resources it's trying to load?

I had the same problem recently, and it had to do with the DNS indeed. The following solved the problem for me:
- Right click on the network manager icon of the task bar.
- Go to "Edit Connections"
- Select the active network connection and click "edit"
- Go to the "IPv4 Settings" tab
- Fill in the field "additional DNS servers"
- Re-load the connection for the settings to apply.
Now for free DNS servers you can just search the web and find a lot... I initially used the google one which is 8.8.8.8. Now I see that just by entering the IP of my router does the job just as well.
I hope this helps
