I upgraded yesterday from Wheezy to Jessie and I don't have any wifi connexion now. The wifi card is working because I see neighbours networks around but WAP authentication fails. I did not change any authentication datas of course.
View 6 RepliesI just upgraded my Ubuntu 8.04 server to 10.04 and now I cannot receive mail on my Ubuntu 10.04 Evolution client, although I can send mail. No errors appear in auth.log or mail.log when I attempt to log in from my Evolution client, in fact mail.log shows 'pop3d-ssl: connection' from my laptop IP, followed by 'pop3d: Disconnected' when the log-in attempts fail.
I'm able to ssh into the server using the same log-on and password as before the upgrade, however I haven't changed the public or private keys in my .ssh directory. I updated the ssl keys in /etc/postfix/ssl but wasn't able to receive mail before or after the update.
The error in the client reads: 'Unable to connect to POP server mail.mydomain.com, error sending username'
I ran this test and the output appears to be related:
Is the pop3 server not running TLS? /etc/postfix/main.cf says it should, and I get no errors restarting / reloading postfix.
I am receiving messages in /home/user/Maildir, but I cannot download them.
I checked for supported authentication types in my Evolution client - 'Password' is the only one supported, as was true before. The client is not using any certificates.
The output of openssl s_client -tls1 -connect 127.0.0.1:995 shows 'certificate has expired' on the 'Verify return code' entry, not sure if that's significant.
What's different about incoming versus outgoing mail authentication?
If I am running a script, let's say a install script. Is there a way to make Su repeat authentication rather then just returning "Authentication failed" and continuing the script?

It never lets me input a new password. Two questions:1) Am I doing something wrong, or is this actually a bug? The possibility has been mentioned in other posts on the topic.2) Where does PackageKit store its files? I'll either change the password myself or delete the file where it's written, hopefully that will trigger PackageKit to ask again.
View 7 Replies View RelatedMy first post here. I've been using Ubuntu to run our internal mail server for a while now on Ubuntu server 9.04 and ISPconfig 2. I've read a lot of threads on poeple that have difficulty connecting to their server using SSH from outside the LAN and it is not the same problem I have. Well, not entirely the same.
My problem is that my authentication fails from outside the LAn, but I can connect to the SSH port from outside my LAN. The other threads pointed towards checking the router port forwarding etc, but I can see my SSH log in asking for my username and password. So, at this stage I know the port forwarding worked, otherwise I wouldn't even see the log in prompt.
Has anyone see this before where you can connect, but the authentication fails? I can use the correct username and password from inside the LAN, but using the same credentials from outside fails.
One I cant figure out is a problem of authentication. I'm using open ldap server and try to authenticate a groupware (simple groupware) against it. As it fails, I tested with a ldap client to understand things better. Using GQ ldap client, I 'm able to browse my ldap tree successfully and to search some args from the base DN i specified. but when entering the exact uid as a search string iI got no answer whereas searching the cn returns the correct entry (and display its related entry including the uid I can't find ..) Here is the only thing I can trace in logs (syslog) when trying to seach firstname.lastname (= uid)

I have been using ubuntu 10.10 32 bit. I thought of giving 64 bit a try. I downloaded the ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64 from the ubuntu website and burned it in to a cd. Then i boot from cd. But unfortuntely i am getting terminal instead of installtion or try options. It says : General errormounting filesystem" and then Lots of " Authentication failure". I typed startx in the terminal but i didnt get any gui.

I recently upgraded my video card from a GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8X to a GeForce FX 5500 AGP 8X. After that my 1360x768 monitor was stuck on a 1024x768 resolution. I ran system-config-display and under Hardware tab I changed the monitor setting from "Generic LCD Screen" to "1360x768 LCD Screen" with the acknowledgment that /etc/X11/xorg.conf file was been modified. After reboot the boot process stuck on:tarting kojid: Kerberos authentication failed. "Resource temporary unavailable" (11) [FAILED]I tried that with both 2.6.34.6-54 and 2.6.34.6-47 kernels available on my system.I use the latest KDE version available for Fedora.

I recently tried installing a new version of VirtualBox PUEL version, after uninstalling an earlier version. But the major issue I have now is that I can no longer modify my User Settings. Clicking on the "Autnenticate" icon gets me a failure notice: "System policy prevents modifying the system configuration", with details reading "Action: org.freedesktop.systemtoolsbackends.set". Hovering over this link says to click on the link to edit the file, but nothing happens. Searching the file system tells me this file does not exist. Prior to this episode with VirtualBox, I had no trouble modifying Users and Groups. I was able to remove a group from the command line, but the cannot get the GUI authorization to work. I have searched the forums and bugs for similar problems, and, although there appear to be a number of similar issues, no where can I find any clear information on how this system is supposed to work, or what I need to do to correct the problem.

At home in Guangzhou, I have no problem connecting to a WPA-secured wireless router.Now I'm on vacation in another city trying to use a dLink DI-624 router. If I connect immediately after reboot, no problem. If I suspend the session and then wake the machine up again, it will try to connect and then tell me WPA authentication failed.This happens both with network manager and wicd.sysinfo says the network controller is an Atheros AR9285 (ethernet is Realtek RTL8101E/8102E, probably not relevant).Since everything works correctly with routers other than the dLink, I'd have to guess it's not a general wireless configuration problem, nor a wireless card malfunction. Maybe some bad handshaking that manifests only after waking from sleep?More out of curiosity -- I'll only be here for a few weeks and a wired connection is readily available. But, say I end up in a hotel somewhere that uses dLink for WiFi

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have installed Debian maybe 30 times over the years since about 2003, stable, testing and Sid on two different desktops and two different laptops. The only problem I have ever had is sometimes with a flaky daily build. It is one of my favorite distros.
BUT, I am totally frustrated is trying to install to a USB. I have followed the manual step by step about 6 times in the past two weeks. The result is always the same. The installation fails to find an installation iso image. Yes, I know the iso image and the hd-media vmlinuz and initrd.gz files are supposed to be the same version.
File: debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso from: [url]
Files: vmlinuz and initrd.gz from: [url]
The USB boots to a Language selection screen and proceeds through the Keyboard selection screen with no problems.
The next step which searches for an installation iso image fails.
Skipping that step and trying to load installer components from iso image also fails.
Searching the entire PC for an installation iso image also fails. (I even copied the netinst iso image to the HD root directory.)
I have downloaded the Wheezy DVD 1 and started the istallation process. The installation time is strangely very short in respect to the Squeeze release, anyway
The GRUB installation step fails. I terminated the installation without a bootloader and rebooted from DVD with the rescue boot option.
Now I asked for a console to try to manually install the bootloader but the following command:
# grub-install /dev/sda1
[where sda1 is my root partition]
gets the following message:
/bin/sh: grub-install: not found
What can I do?
I downloaded the 64bit net installer. I install just the standard, reboot and the machine hard locks on me. It appears to be locking up on Bluetooth.

I'm trying to install Debian Jessie, but the installation keeps failing when installing the ca-certificates package and then asks for a media change to the disk that is already in the drive, and keeps asking even though it's already in the drive.
View 0 Replies View RelatedSo I am helping a friend (computer n00b) to install Debian Squeeze over the telephone, since his Vista had crashed, and after we set up the partitions like so:9 GB /1GB swap 150 GB /homeIt "hangs" for a while, i.e. nothing happens, and then it says that it "failed to partition disks". It did not give any error codes, and I did not see the message first hand, since I was doing it over the phone, but I was thinking that there is something wrong with the hard drive (causing Vista to crash perhaps?) so could this be circumvented by just using the first (or last) 10-15 GB of the disk?
View 7 Replies View RelatedSo, I've got as far as partitioning the hard disks on my Sun Ultra 450 Enterprise system, but it always fails with:
SILO (Sparc Linux Loader) can only boot the kernel off of a disk with the "sun" partition table. In the current partitioning scheme the kernel is going to be installed on the /boot partition located on a disk with the partition table of type "msdos".
What is this error message trying to say in its ambiguous way?
I selected automatic partitioning, but it got me to the same place as manual partitioning before it failed in the same way.
I installed four used hard drives in this system - they may have come from PCs for all I know. However, they are SCSI SCA drives, which makes it hard for me to believe they came from a PC environment.
If they did, do I need to to a low-level (or high-level) format of these drives to wipe out the "msdos"ness of them? If so, how do I do that in the SILO installer?
I'm just trying to install a Jessie i386 image in Oracle Virtualbox.
My host specs are:
Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Wheezy is installing correctly, but Jessie is not. It fails during the partitioning of the disk, and gives an error message like: unable to write to disk, start = 236342 length = 0. This is not the exact message but I'm unable to try again at the moment.
When I install Wheezy and apt-get update / upgrade to Jessie, I get a black screen after reboot..

The machine I'm trying to install on is a Gateway NV53, 4gb of RAM, AMD Athlon II x64.
At first I thought it might be my disc so I burnt another DVD using the 4.3GB DVD image I had downloaded. I checked the disc and it verified with the image and so I tried again with the same results as above. Any clue what might be causing this? I'm sure it isn't my hardware, Arch has been running fine for almost 6 months and never seemed to care.
After Updating to version 8.0 today...
Package Updater GUI is Failing with the message:

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
The dist-upgrade was over 40 minute and ~ 500meg
Things seemed to go well.
I updated sources.list with apt-spy.

Debian 8/Cinnamon fresh install. /home is being shared with two other OS's, Mint and openSUSE. At the login screen I enter my user name and password and the screen blacks for 1-2 seconds and comes back asking for user name and password. I can login as root. As root I can launch the Group & Users GUI and attempt to set the user's password, and pressing the 'change' button does nothing obvious.
I can set the user's password in a terminal, which reports success. I tried to switch users and login with the changed password and I get the same failure. If I try to login with the original password I get an incorrect password error, suggesting that the password is being processed properly and the problem is elsewhere.
On previous installs with Mate and the default desktop (Gnome) I didn't have this problem. So, the questions are: Is it Cinnamon? Is it an unlucky chance bad install? Config files are typically in /home, which is being shared with Mate and KDE, is this the problem?
I get an error saying:
Code: Select allConnection to Pulse Audio failed.
In this case this is likely because Pulse_Server in the environment/X11 Root Window Properties or default-server in client.conf is misconfigured. This situation can also arise when Pulse Audio crashed and left stale details in the Root X11 window. If this is the case then Pulse Audio should autospawn again, or if this not cofigured you should run start-pulseaudio-x11 manually.
I tried reinstalling pavucontrol and pulse audio, but I still get the error. I tried removing bluetooth as well and that doesn't fix the issue.
Debian 8 "Jessie"
AMD CPU
EFI motherboard
System was working reliably. Moved components into a new case. Now system will not boot. Either gives error that the disk is not bootable or displays the motherboard configuration screen.
I am able to boot Debian with a USB drive and have attempted fixes in "rescue mode".
I confirmed that the system is booting to EFI mode.
I have tried re-installing the grub-efi package and re-creating the Grub config file with update-grub.
When re-installing Grub I receive "Discarding improperly nested partition ..." warnings but the installation succeeds. I have searched this warning message and the forums seem to say that it can be ignored.
I have tried re-setting the motherboard NVRAM using the jumper block.
The computer shows "debian" as a boot choice in addition to the usual raw drive model listing. However, neither of the choices will boot successfully.
I've run into a situation where when performing a pxe/preseed install the system boots up into the install without issue, getting a dhcp address, then the installer begins to configure the network and it gets to where it request a dhcp address and it instantly fails the install stating that we are either not using dhcp or it's slow.
I've added d-i netcfg/dhcp_timeout string 600 to the preseed file but it doesn't seem to be honoured here since it doesn't wait 600 seconds before failing. I have 2 other identical systems that install using the same preseed file but the installer completes as expected. This system has no issues installing centos just debian fails. I did try, once the install failed, to switch to the console and run udhcpc and the server received the address reserved for it.
Is there a method to force debian installer to wait a bit longer for the dhcp server besides what I've already done?
