Debian :: Cannot Edit VPN Connections As A User
Aug 24, 2015
I am trying to add an OpenVPN connection from the Network Connections GUI. The problem is everything is greyed out when I am logged on as a user. When I log in the GUI as root I can create the OpenVPN connection no problems. The problem with that is the option to use my newly created VPN connect does not appear when I log back into my user. I have tried adding my user into the sudoers file to no avail.
How can I give my user privileges to add OpenVPN connections?

I have used the information available at wiki.debian.org/iwlagn to install firmware etc for my Intel Pro Wireless 4965 card.According to the network applet the connection is good, but it only seems to work when my ethernet cable is plugged in.I get no connection without the cable in, even though clicking on "edit connections" showshat ethernet is shown as "device not managed".With the cable plugged in I can get emails. Iceweasel will connect to the internet, but Epiphany will not.Without the cable I get no internet connection at all

I need to add a user to the sudoers in my vps host and edit a couple of files and I just cannot make sense of visudo, vi or nano. The tutorials I find on the net just take too long to study and they are never complete, can someone explain what I need to do? I am running Debian 506.

Using xubuntu 11.04, how do I maually give myself a static IP address and other IPv4 settings? I see the edit connections panel and saved a setting there but can't see how to use that setting. The only useable setting when I'm connected by ethernet is Auto eth0.

Every single time I enter the network manager to edit connections is crashes on exit. I am running opensuse on an Asus eee PC 1000HE with an Atheros network card. The crash report follows :
Distribution: openSUSE 11.2 (i586)
Gnome Release: 2.28.2 (null) (SUSE)
BugBuddy Version: 2.28.0
System: Linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-default #1 SMP 2010-03-16 21:25:39 +0100 i686
[code]....
As an extra point. I wish I could disconnect individual networks instead of just disabling networking to disconnect. I think the newer version of the network manager does this.

I have Ubuntu 9.04 and I would like to know what is the command to find out the number of connections per user (i.e. ssh) and also what syslog module do I need to modify and how to enable it in order to have it logged, thing is I need to generate this event in order to see it in RSA enVision, I've tried with "who" but nothing is displayed, do I need to program something besides that? or what can I do? to have no. of connections and have that logged so I can see the event in enVision.

I'm new to Ubuntu and wish to use the system in combination with Apache/mySQL/phpMyAdmin. I managed to get phpMyAdmin working for now. Also mySQL database seems to work. Only problem is Apache2. I can start the server and it is working. However in the folder /var/www/ where all site files are stored, I can not edit anything. I have been reading about sudo nautilus which did allow me to change administrator rights for the folder, but still I do not get it working to display other than the default index.html page. Is there a manual or quick solution for me so I can use apache with Ubuntu?

I have installed Oracle Database server in Red Hat Linux for the first time. I edited the .bash_profile first time & defined some parameters like "export ORACLE_SID =orcl".I quit the editing. Then When I entered ". .bash_profile" it got error " not a valid identifier" it shows like "bash: export: '=orcl' : not a valid identifier for all the lines I edited it shows same error beacause I think I put a space in between "ORACLE_SID" & "=orcl".
So when I tried to edit that using "vi .bash_profile" being a normal user. It doesn't allow me editing.when I try to delete that space (because I think I have got error) using Backspace key on my computer,,it just moves the cursor to left in stead of deleting that space.

I have been messing with F12 look & feel and am seeking a way to edit the User Switch Applet so that the log-off and shutdown features in the System menu will be found in the User Switch Applet. (This is a feature in Karmic 9.10 and I really like it.)

I went to YaST>Security and Users>User and Group Management and changed my username. Now I can't do anything (open home directory, start application, login, etc). I tried changing back the username by going to YaST at init 3 and changing back to the previous username.

Today I have installed Linux SUSE 11.2 . At installation, I was asked for user-name and password. I edit this correctly.
At the end of the installation, the system reboots until the mask 'user name' and 'password' will be displayed. When I edit my user-name and the password the system said, that the login is not correct.
First, I think, I have forgetten my password an do a new installation of Linus SUSE 11.2 . Whatever, the same problem ist still there.

I'm working in Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop with Apache installed. I have a directory /var/www/test:drwxrwxr-x 5 root www-data 4096 2010-01-04 13:51 test And I've added myself as a member of the group www-data. Problem though is when i go into /var/www/test I still can't do anything, whether it's creating a new file or directory or editing files there. The files within the directory are also 775 and setup under group www-data.

I am digging the forum through and cannot find the answer. My problem is, the usb hard drive when plugged in get automatically mounted what is great. Unfortunately I get only read permissions, while need write too.There are no any entries in fstab, so I do not know what does handle automounting and how to edit options to force mounting with write permission to user (root obviously can write). Are they hald options or any other app does this? Where to edit them? The drive is not permanently ON, just switch it when need, so it has to work every time I put it on.

I was looking at some Vim plugins, and I installed one called Abolish. The page from where I got it [URL] only says:
install details
Extract in ~/.vim or ~vimfiles
So I extracted it in ~/.vim. Now, the issue is that, if I edit a file as root, I am able to use the commands; however, when I edit a file as a normal user, these commands won't work. So... could this be a permissions issue? Or should I copy the plugin in some other directory, maybe?

Are there any tools to view/edit user space memory of running processes on Linux?
It would be a great learning tool.

Is it fair to say that connLimit and hashlimit are very similiar on Linux i.e. while hashlimit caters to limits for groups of ports, they both set the connection rate limit per host? How in IPTables, do I configure a policy that limits connections on a port that encapsulates the total sum of all connections from all hosts? i.e. I do not want to allow more than 6000conn/minute for port range that is the sum of all connecting hosts?

I recently installed Fedora 15 now, and during installation I set the internet connection manually, then did update and after reboot, the internet connection settings have been removed. Now I can not set because the network connection to the Internet Connection is inactive. I mention that before the update was functional internet connection.

What I am trying to do is edit the link target to force ip=xxxx.xxx.xxx string at end. I have a software program which access 4 different servers running the software but with different configs. In xp I can copy links and modify as above to correctly force the program to the various servers.
I have read the various how tos on hard vs sym links which I get. Playing around with hardlinks and sysmlinks (the examples I find) does not seem to be what I need. Feel like this is pretty basic stuff but I am a bit stumped.

Since I cannot upgrade Adblock Plus anymore because iceweasel is too out of date for the new versions, I am trying to give privoxy a try. I am following the howto Block Ads & Fast Caching w/Privoxy +Squid without success. I am always receiving the error:The proxy server is refusing connections Iceweasel is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
I added these lines to /etc/privoxy/config
enable-remote-toggle 1
enable-edit-actions 1
permit-access 127.0.0.1
Moreover, I have edited the /etc/hosts file to block urls providing adverts and anything I wanted rejected.

I have ssh installed and running on my laptop(Debian Sequeeze). I can run "ssh localhost" without any problem. But for some reason I cannot connect to it from other computers. They all give "connection timed out". I can connect to these computers`s ssh servers but for some reason my laptop with Debian is not accepting any connections.

I'm trying to setup VNC on our debian server so the boss can remotely do admin stuff from anywhere in the world. the first step is getting it working from anywhere in the room, though. And I can't even seem to get that far.
So far I have a VNC server setup, although not without problems. I downloaded and installed vnc from the vnc site, that wouldn't work because trying to start a vnc server gave this error: "error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
There are lots of results on google for this error, and the solution everywhere seems to be the same. to install the package: libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2
However, trying to install this package in debian fails. both using apt-get and trying to manually download it from packages.debian.org it just doesn't seem to exist.
I've tried tightvnc from the official repositories and it gives the same error, too.
The way I got around that eventually, thanks to another tutorial, was to install the package vnc4server. then run vnc4passwd to create a password. and after that vncserver works fine, or seems to. Creates display 1.
Now, when I'm trying to connect to hostname:1 from another computer in the LAN. It gives error 10061, connection refused. I installed the debian and I don't recall setting it up to refuse connections on port 1. Is there anything I should check or change to allow the connection, or any log file in debian to check and see what's going wrong?
I'm also trying connecting internally via client on the debian machine, but I can't runvncviewer. I get the same missing shared library error as before. I guess I just worked around, not solved it.
I also can't access it with the java viewer. Trying to connect on port 5801 either from the server itself, or from another one on the lan, tells me it's refusing the connection.
To be clear, I'm certain that the vnc server is started. We have working DNS, and trying to connect directly to the internal IP:1 doesn't work either.
