I have been looking at how to avoid typing my firefox master password. So far no luck.
Do you know of a way to have the master password in a file on a USB stick?
I am also looking for a way to integrate keepassx with firefox. I found passifox at[URL].. It depends on keepasshttp and seems to be a windows thing.
How can I avoid typing a password on every admin action? example when i install a program.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI just tried out setting a master password for Firefox saved passwords and compared the old and new (before and after setting the master password) signons.sqlite files. Although passwords were not stored in plain text in either of the files, I did notice that the files were exactly the same. Am I wrong in assuming that setting the master password did not encrypt anything at all, or am I simply looking at the wrong file?

In the routing section I do have my default gw coming up there, with the the right nw i/f (eth0) associate with it. However, when I boot up, y config seems to ignore that fact, and I have to keep goign to root and typing "route add default gw <mygwip>" each time, which is something I want to avoid. Isn't it odd that the route settings created by yast have no effect? If they did, the route would be set up on bootup and I would haven't to do that typing.

I don't know if this is supposed to happen or not.I've found a bunch of different sites on the Internet that explain how to change the root password, but none of them seem to work for my specific work station.
I've got Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit. In the GRUB boot menu, I can choose to boot normal or in recovery mode (I'm led to believe older versions don't have this option).I've tried typing # sudo passwrd into Terminal, but I already have a root password set up apparently, so I can't change it there.
How I can save my password so I don't have to type it in every time I log into my server? It's a real distraction.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter connecting to any host, the openssh client hangs after I type the password. The strange part is, it only hangs if when I use the wlan card. If I connect my phone to the computer and uses it to connect to my server, it works 100%.
If I use any other computer at the wireless network, it works 100%
If I use putty on the same machine, it works 100%
It is only a problem when I use the build-in wireless card, under openSuSE 11.3, on my Lenovo L512. (note that everything besides ssh works completely).
I accedently typed in a command in the terminal that made my computer load up without typing in user name or password. i would love you have that back. is there a command that you can use to get back there login screen. i am using ubuntu 9.10. i also dont know what the command was that i typed...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to run a script that needs root privileges without typing in the password. I want to copy a file from my documents folder into /etc/X11 to overwrite my xorg.conf. I do this because I will have my computer switch from my monitors to my TV when I watch a movie. But I'd like to be able to make it a clickable icon so I don't have to type in cp /... /etc/...
This is my "script"
Code:
sudo cp /home/nertskull/Documents/xorg.conf_TV /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Then I read a lot of places that said to add this to the sudoers file (sudo visudo)
Code:
nertskull ALL = NOPASSWD: /home/nertskull/Documents/switch_TV.sh
I've done all that, and I still get asked for my password when I run that file.
nertskull ALL = ...
%nertskull ALL = ...
%users ALL = ...
%admin ALL = ...
I'm sure it's something simple I'm overlooking, but I've read 5 different threads on this, and I can't find anything they did that I'm not doing. Also, here is my sudoers file, because I know location within the file matters. But what I read said I should be putting my stuff at the end.
Code:
# /etc/sudoers
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.

I use rsyc for synching files that I type with a server and every time I have to enter the server's password. Right now in my .bashrc file there is an alias like this code...
but can't find such a thing in rsync or ssh man pages. Does anybody know what I should do?
I hav disabled the password on startup but the default still pops up and asks the password. How can I stop that. I use UBUNTU 11.04

View 10 Replies View RelatedHas anyone else had a problem with Firefox hesitating when scrolling web pages or with words taking a minute to show up while you are typing? I can be halfway through a sentence before the letters actually show up. And when scrolling down a page, it will just stop and then pick back up a few seconds later - but not where it left it. It picks back up as if it had been scrolling the whole time.I am running Ubuntu 10.04 with Firefox 3.6.13 and it does this on two desktops and two laptops.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've just got a TP-Link wn-851n PCI WLAN card, and the problem is that ubuntu can search for the network, but I can't join into the network after typing the password. I'm sure that it is correct as m Windows notebook is also using that network.
Taking a look in dmesg, and it start to loop this message after I joined the network.

I'm managing a residential network. Each flat is its own subnet, and can only communicate with the other flats through a router (i.e. no broadcast). 95% of these 300 subnets only contains windows computers (from lambda users).
My final goal is to be able to browse the entire network from any computer.
I set up a samba server acting as a wins server, and every computer is aware of it because it is registered in the dhcp. So name resolution is working fine for everyone.
The same samba server is set to be the "Domain master browser":
workgroup = WORKGROUP
wins support = yes
prefered master = yes
local master = yes
domain master = yes
os level = 65
When I browse the network (using "net view" or "browstat view"), I can only see the servers which are in the same subnet as the domain master browser.
Now, when in a subnet the computers arrange themselves to find a "local master browser", the only visible computers are the one in that subnet.
What I don't understand is why all the local masters don't synchronize their lists with the domain master.
So, to sum up, every subnet get the following behaviour:
-if a local master is elected, the only visible computers are the one in the same subnet.
-if no local master is elected, the only visible computers are the one in the subnet of the domain master.
-if I add another samba, configured as a local master winning all elections, then the magic is working and the lists are synchronized.
What is expected:
-every computer can see all the computer from all the subnets.
1. I tried to change my password by typing "passwd" in the terminal. It then asked me to input the Unix password. After I typed in the Unix password, it read "Authentication token manipulation error". Why did that happen? I know what the Unix password is.2. . What is the difference between Unix password and Root password?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wonder if anyone has managed to get this game working? Looks interesting... I tried to install it on my Testing amd64 having read about it in linuxjournal and in the link given there. But no luck...
I downloaded the x86 & x86-64 installer with:
wget [URL]
Then according to the guide:
chmod u+x dangerdeep-0.3.0-linux-installer.bin
Then I tried to run the installer from the user terminal but it informed that it was necessary to run it as root. After installing it with
# ./dangerdeep-0.3.0-linux-installer.bin
I typed in dangerdeep in the user terminal which returned:
$ dangerdeep
dangerdeep: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
found information in Synaptic that the library libgl1-mesa-swx11 is also known as libGL or libGL.so.1.
But installing it with # aptitude install libgl1-mesa-swx11 results in the removal of libgl1-mesa-glx, and when trying to run the game by typing dangerdeep in the terminal, it still complains about an error while loading shared libraries libGL.so.1.
it looks a bit tricky to get this game running on Squeeze so I reinstalled libgl1-mesa-glx.
It's debian testing. I can't scroll down any man pages with typing 'j'. I must hit <ENTER> to scroll down. Why is it ?
And i can't scroll up manpages.
I have a load balancer with 2 web servers behind it. The web servers rsync with cloud storage to update their apache directories 1 time every hour. Apache is just running php pages that pull/push data to a DB so they dont need to be updated that often. However I need to figure out how to implement a Master/Master MySQL setup to have my web servers point to for the PHP stuff. I need to implement it without having a single point of failure. The Load balancers are useless for failover as they only detect availability based on Ping request. So putting a master/master setup behind a Load Balancer is out. what is the best way to setup the master/master mysql in a HA setup without the use of a load balancer provided by the host?

The touchpad however worked from intallation on,without problems. Even two finger scrolling is supported perfectly. All attempts that I found in searching the internet rely on changes in the xorg.conf.

I am having some issues with the typing speed in gedit. When typing the response is usually really slow,It can be up to a second or so between rendering keystrokes. I don't believe it has anything to do with resources. I have checked the processes running when it happens and everything looks pretty normal cpu usuage is also very low at the time. The system is very responsive with everything else at the time.
I only have this problem with gedit, gvim, vim, nano etc are fine. Maybe an issue with a GTK lib of some sort? The problem happens with very small files like little bash scripts. I have including some info about the system ...
