Debian :: All Browsers Crash In Squeeze In Combination With LDAP
Jun 1, 2011
I have a problem with Debian Squeeze. I have installed Squeeze and after that I installed LDAP according tho this guide: [URL]. When I log in and try to start Epiphany or Iceweasel nothing happens. I tried installing Chromium, but this program starts with the message "Chromium didn't shut down correctly". After some waiting it comes with another messages saying "Page(s) unresponsive. I also noticed that Open Office won't startup, other programs don't seem to have a problem.
I try to setup OpenLDAP on Debian Squeeze.But it seems the documentation I found is differed than the installation.
Normally I would expect /etc/ldap/slapd.conf as also mentioned at url.However this file does not exists and I got the feeling Debian changes a lot with the default (bit poor if you asked me).Seems they created a LDAP database and put the config in there, correct me if I am wrong?A folder /etc/ldap/slapd.d is created with some config inside. And also a /etc/ldap/ldap.conf does exist.
Is there any documentation on this, and what if I would like to have a flat config in /etc/ldap/slapd.conf?
Using Debian stable. 64-Bit. I can play videos and music using Totem and VLC. And I can play audio files with audacious and Rhythmbox. And I can play flash in firefox and google-chrome. But, if I open audacious and then play a flash file in Firefox or google-chrome audacious crashes as well as other multimedia players that I have open such as Totem, VLC and/or Ryhthmbox.
Would like to know if you can offer some troubleshooting steps to take so that I can play a flash file in a browser and still play an mp3 file in the audio player without having to kill those processes and restart.
I'm running squeeze on i686, my last update was this morning (9/9/2010). Running the stock kernel 2.6.32-5-686
My PC keeps crashing when copying files. The monitor displays the desktop, but the mouse doesn't move, nothing responds and I can't even ssh in to debug it.
This happens when copying files using nautilus and the command line. I'm trying to copy files from my local hard disk to an nfs drive which is mounted in my system and has been working fine for years.
how to debug this after a hard reboot?
This has only just started happening, last night was the first time.
I'm using Debian-Squeeze, and the command "uname -a" results in "Linux debian 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Sat Jul 24 01:47:24 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux". The desktop environment is Gnome 2.30.2.
My problem is wireless connection causes the system to crash. Here is the detail: my university uses a WiFi service that we have to enter our ID and password in a certain web page in the browser to get access to the Internet, while the WiFi signal is automatically picked up. My laptop crashes each time I connecting to such wireless network. But back home, when connecting to my own WiFi, everything is all right.
As the only thing I can do when such crash happens is to press the power button to force the computer to shut down, I've gathered no more information till now.
essentially everything runs well, but at random points the screen randomly flickers and looks like an application window outline. After I use the system for a while eventually the screen goes blank, but not off, but I am forced to shutdownhe system as nothing happens with key combos. I'd be happy to add more information, but I am need help on where to go to find information on the system
why i can't login on the ldap-client via ldap, so here is a short description of my machines (i use openvz virtualising)I have on the HN (Debian Lenny) 2 VE's, which are in the same subnet (192.168.1.0/24)The first VE (Hostname: ldap1, IP: 192.168.1.91) is the ldap-server, which is so configured, that i can manage the server via phpldapadmin.The second VE (Hostname: ftp1, IP: 192.168.1.31) is the ldap-client, there should run a sftp-server in the future and the sftp-server(ssh-server) should use ldap-usernames to login. on the ftp1, i get with this command getent passwd the users configured on the ldap-server, but with the command id USERNAME the result is, that the user doesn't exist. (USERNAME is this name, i get returned by getent) and if i try to login via ssh, i get permission denied. and because the machines are openvz-virtual-machines, so i can't login on them like on a normal system, but a su USERNAME doesn't work too, because the user is not known on the system.
my installation:
i don't think, that the ldap-server is the problem, because the phpldapadmin and getent on ftp1 are working perfectly, but if you want, i can post the config here too. the VE ftp1 was configured with the following how-to: [URL] and pam is configured like in the chapter "PAM setup with pam_ldap" on [URL]
I'm using a lenovo t530 laptop with debian testing. my suspend button combination (fn / f4) suddenly stopped working, from recent updates? How to get a terminal readout from what's happening when i push these buttons.
I am still running the linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 kernel a computer with squeeze. I installed squeeze on it when it was unstable. I would like to bring up to the new stable state.Should I do apt-get install linux-image-2.6.32-5-686or should Iapt-get dist-upgrade
In the Release Notes for Jessie, it is stated that webkit browsers do not receive security updates in a timely manner and so are not secure. It is recommended that one uses a gecko-based browser or Chromium for 'general' web browsing. Yet I haven't read anything about this elsewhere and I'm guessing a lot of people don't read the Release Notes, so perhaps it's only something I would only need to worry about if I worked for MI6?
Anyway, Chromium and Iceweasel are becoming far too sluggish for my computer. I would want to experiment with Konqueror, Midori, Epiphany and Opera, but don't want to do anything insecure. I'm of the understanding that without Mandatory Access Control, exploits in applications often allow attackers to access all of the user's files; I want to avoid that.
On the Opera page on Debian Wiki, it says 'Opera is a non-free (proprietary) software. It isn't supported by Debian. It's probably wiser to use a supported web browser ! '.
I've installed debian and configured the network: I do ping to the gateway and it connects, I ping one distant server directly with the IP and it can see it (but not with ping [URL]), but when I try to use internet it says that maybe the url is wrong, but it is not.
And when I try to update (apt-get update) it give me a bunch of errors : W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.es.debian.org/debian/dists/s ... elease.gpg Could not resolve 'ftp.es.debian.org' W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.es.debian.org/debian/dists/s ... ion-en.bz2 Could not resolve 'ftp.es.debian.org'
I just installed Debian Stable on an old HP Mini 110-1033CA netbook. glxinfo indicates that I have Intel 945GME graphics. xserver-xorg-video-intel package is installed but neither google-chrome stable nor Firefox 29 appear to be able to use hardware acceleration. "about:support" and "chrome://gpu" both show that hardware acceleration is unavailable.
First I wanted to install the proprietary software Virtualbox-PURE cuz there is usb support, I need.
Added the Repository and installed it (virtualbox-4.0) and dkms. Here is my sources.list $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list # Debian Hauptrepos deb [URL] squeeze main contrib non-free
# Debian Update-Repos deb [URL] main contrib non-free .....
The result of all is: virtualbox is still not running. I use experimental branch flash is not working now. flashplugin was installed, I restarted my browsers, not working. I tested it with opera, chromium and iceweasel.
My questions are: How I ever can go back to stable? How can I make virtualbox run? How can I make flash run?
I'm using debian squeeze with gnome 2.30.5. When you need more infos or results of commands I give it to you. 2 days of work and nothing is running.
Every thing was running ok in debain squeeze, but last time when i boot the system and connected to the Internet with the dialup connection, the graphical browsers like firefox and epiphany stop working and cannot open the web pages, the error is " Problem loading page", other clients like nslookup, ping, ftp clients and text browser lynx working ok.
I'm having trouble getting a working java plugin on my Debian Squeeze Amd 64 system. I've tried some of the suggestions from the forums on linuxquestions (specifically http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...owsers-701947/), but am not having any luck yet.I've installed the sun-java6-{bin,fonts,jre,plugin} packages via Synaptic. When I try to check java on Sun's website, the applet seems to hang.Here's what Iceweasel says on aboutlugins:
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_18 File name: libnpjp2.so The next generation Java plug-in for Mozilla browsers.
By the way, have you present those websites that have a background video on their divs, wow those are really cool than annoying, I have been looking for a while this morning to find a solution without success so how to block these videos on Firefox and Chromium?
I'm on a Debian Lenny system. I recently installed scim to use the Urdu language and have gotten it to work by following the instructions on this website.
Everything works except that Iceweasel and Epiphany don't display the typed Urdu fonts properly. The characters are there but sometimes they don't join properly.
This problem doesn't occur with other programs such as OpenOffice, etc.
How fonts should be displayed (eg. OpenOffice): [URL]
How fonts are displayed in Iceweasel: ہ ا ں
How do I make Iceweasel and Epiphany behave properly? The characters remain disjointed even if I select the traditional keyboard method of entering text (i.e. via the Keyboard Indicator GNOME applet [India>Urdu]).
I have the appropriate locales installed:
locale -a C en_US.utf8 hi_IN hi_IN.utf8 POSIX ur_PK ur_PK.utf8
I've noticed that even though these characters appear disjointed in Iceweasel or Epiphany, they appear normal when I look at the entered text, via Firefox in Windows. That's strange.
The Character Encoding is the same in the browsers on both OS s - UTF8. So clearly this isn't a character encoding issue I guess. There appears to be a problem with the way Urdu fonts are rendered in the Debian version of Firefox (gecko engine issue maybe?).
I just installed wheezy and upgraded to jessie. I had previously gotten sound working in wheezy by installing the flashplugin-nonfree and flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound packages, after configuring my headset in system settings. However, now I can't get sound to play in firefox. I've installed flashplugin-nonfree, flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound, and pulseaudio, still without luck. The volume is turned all the way up in alsamixer, sound tests play fine, and I can play music in VLC without any problems. This leads me to believe it's not a problem with drivers, but with some package I'm missing that will allow firefox to play sound. Sound wasn't working in the default video player either, before I installed the flash plugin. Is there something I'm missing?
Also, sound doesn't play on Konqueror either (KDE browser), which seems to indicate it's a problem with flash and not with firefox itself. After removing the flash plugin and installing pepperflashplugin-nonfree to ensure the pepper plugin was used instead of flash, sound still would not play in chromium, so I reinstalled the flash plugin and still don't have sound in any browser.
i have configured ldapserver on rhel4 for creating address book
following are configuration files on ldap server /etc/openldap/slapd.conf include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema
i am able to import this ldif file into database.also when i perform the ldapsearch on this server with command"ldapsearch �x �W �D �cn=manager, dc=example, dc =com� �b �dc=example, dc=com�" i get correct output.
but when i am trying to search from another client machine, i am getting "error ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1)"
also when i configured address book on mozilla on server., it is working fine.but not working on another machine.is any configuration is missing on client machine.both ldap server and client are configured on rhel4es without any firewall or selinux.
I took to yast to install ldap. I creating the CA cert, server key and server cert and specified them during the yast ldap server dialogs.
The firewall is open for ldap.
I also went through yast's ldap client ... though I didn't exactly see to anything (presuably it wrote up a configuration file somewhere).
However when trying use the basic ldap tools, like ldapwhoami. Well it doesn't connect and gives me the above error. Of coure the ldap db is unpopulated as yet, so it probably is not able to say who am at all. But ldapadd doesn't work either.
It seems to point to my SSL usage not being correct .. so I'm trying to double check that now.
I installed CentOS 5.2 and then run yum update. I configured this server as LDAP/Samba primary domain controller. LDAP seems to be OK and for testing I am able to create users with:smbldap-tools useradd -am usernameI can ssh into the server as root and also as a Linux user which was locally created in the server. But ssh into the server as LDAP user fails (from a Fedora 11 machine) with "Permission denied, please try again", prompting again for password.Some data:
I am using RackMonkey to map out my lab. Unfortunately, due to RM limitations, every user who accesses the site has write access UNLESS they are logged in as a user named "guest". I currently have Apache allowing only the users (sysadmins) in an LDAP group access to RM, but I would like to allow read-only access for other users as well.I found mod_authn_anon, but I am having trouble combining the two authentication methods. I am using Apache 2.2.18 (compiled myself) on SLES 11.1.
This is the common part:
Code:
AuthType Basic AuthBasicProvider ldap anon Order allow,deny Allow from all
This part by itself works for the LDAP authentication:
Anonymous guest Anonymous_VerifyEmail Off Anonymous_MustGiveEmail Off Anonymous_LogEmail on Require valid-user
But if I have both of the previous blocks enabled at once, then guest access does not work. If I throw in a "Satisfy any", then I am not prompted for a username at all. How can I allow access to this LDAP group and to a user named "guest", but not allow all valid LDAP users to log in?
I'm trying to set up a Linux server and I am new to this. I have gone through most of the configuration using SAMBA 3.0 and when I populate the ldap directory all I get this error before the password request:
Then when I perform an ldapsearch to see if the directory is populated I get this message:
I'm checking with a sniffer and there's activity going on between the client and the LDAP server... as a matter of fact, the sniffer shows that the search is producing one ldap item, however, php says it can't contact the ldap server (after it has bound and everything):
The script is working beautifully on another host with debian.
I've setup an Ubuntu 10.10 LDAP Client to authenticate off my LDAP server. I've install the following: sudo apt-get install libpam-ldap libnss-ldap nss-updatedb libnss-db nscd ldap-utils pam_ccreds Here's my /etc/nsswitch.conf: passwd: files ldap [NOTFOUND=return] db group: files ldap [NOTFOUND=return] db
I've compiled openssh-5.4p1 on RHEL 4.8 with Openssl 0.9.8m + pam It works perfect without pam (pam-0.77-66), both with password and public key auth. Whith pam enabled and LDAP (openldap-2.4.21, from scratch) something strange happens: system users: I can do ssh with both password and public key LDAP users: public key works for remote users, still I cannot do ssh with just password. I'm trying a custom PAM configuration, because the default one (even with authconfig + LDAP ) blocks ssh even with system users.
I have LDAP authentication working via SSSD using authconfig-tui and a few minor modifications to sssd.conf (ie: max_id etc). The problem I am having is it would appear /etc/ldap.conf is being ignored and/or setups that work perfectly on RHEL5, F11 and F12 no longer work on F13. Specifically Im referring to "pam_check_host_attr" and "nss_map_attribute". It refuses to honor either of these options and I can only assume a number of the other options in our ldap.conf. For instance, "nss_map_attribute" is defaulting to the standard "homeDirectory" rather than "homeDirectoryLinux". This is related to a bunch of OSX clients we have and its not optional to use another setup. The host restriction is also a major issue.
can anyone tell me what is the difference between these two files of LDAP client /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/ldap/ldap.conf and for what purposes these two files gives services. Is it necessary to have these two files at a time ?
I use these files to install LDAP client to authenticate with our LDAP server by creating a symbolic link of /etc/ldap.conf to /etc/ldap/ldap.conf.
