Jan 19, 2011I finally got Sueeze installed and it works great for my user account. It won't accept my root password and so I can not do anything as root. This is strickly a home desktop setup and I am the only user. I have a working Ubuntu 10.10 in the ajacent partition. How can I change (or reinstall) my root password. Everything I've found says to boot single user and I have, but I still need the root password in Debian.

May 3, 2010I have a fresh install of Squeeze with CD1. I have no root password to open admin apps, so I set one with 'sudo passwd root' and then I'm able to open them, but only once. I have to set the root password every time prior to opening an admin app. Am I doing something wrong? Could I be missing a package?

Debian Multimedia :: Gpsbabel Now Only Works As Root On Squeeze
Feb 7, 2011gpsbabel has always been a little awkward to get going, but it works well once it does. Out of the box on Lenny, gpsbabel just gave errors for me reading from a garmin unit, and the required solution was two steps: firstly, remove (and blacklist) the kernel module "garmin_gps". Secondly, add a udev rule like this:SYSFS{idVendor}=="091e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0003", MODE="0660", group="plugdev" and save this as /etc/udev/rules.d/51-garmin.rules.
Now, I never understood why or how that worked, but it did (on Lenny), straight away, and was listed as gpsbabel's solution here (I notice it now says MODE="666").
Anyway, now I'm on Squeeze and have the same problems again. I've blacklisted garmin_gps again, and it doesn't appear in lsmod.
I've still got my udev rule, but now gpsbabel fails as a normal user with the error:

Jun 16, 2010Situation as follows: i do su to root, then i create admin file with
cat > adminfile
then i exit from root issuing exit command
i can see following adminfile options
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10 2010-06-16 16:25 adminfile
however, after executing rm adminfile it really gets removed
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10 2010-06-16 16:25 adminfile
[Code]...
As i see it - others have only read permision for that file so they shouldnot be able to remove it.. :/
Server :: RHEL - Not Allowed To Have The Root Password
Dec 12, 2010I have a server with 2 hard drives in raid for RHEL and 16 harddrives in raid 10 for storage. I was not allowed to have the root password just in case because "we don't give root password". A few days ago it crashed asking for root password for maintenance and had to restore the system to factory settings losing all user settings and updates (wich I paid for every year).
I'm not a linux guru but i can mount the system with a live cd, edit /etc/shadow and delete the root password but what I don't know is the consequence of deleting the root password. Can something go wrong after that? Can it have boot problems or something else? Can they set traps to prevent this?
Server is not connected to internet and it will never be.

May 28, 2010While reading some papers on securing apache with selinux, I have tried to bind httpd to port 3000 expecting to be blocked by the selinux, since port tcp 3000 isn't on the http_port_t list. However I was able to start the service...
I'm preety sure selinux is enforcing. Also, if I bind httpd to tcp 81 selinux denies the start of the service, as expected!Did I miss something? Why is httpd allowed to start binded to a port that's not explicitly allowed?
General :: The KDE Login Screen Now Says "root Logins Are Not Allowed."?
Feb 20, 2010Something has caused me to be locked out of root; the KDE login screen now says "root logins are not allowed." It's not as though I don't know the password--I set it up. I might have deleted something I'm not supposed to, because before this, root had also become invisible at the KDE login screen.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Configuration Could Not Be Loaded - Access Not Allowed
Apr 17, 2010I have recently installed Debian 504 AMD64, when I try to access "System" --> "Administration" --> "Users and groups" logged in as root, I get the following message:
"The configuration could not be loaded. You are not allowed to access the system configuration."
The system does not even ask for a password and the result is the same if I log in as a normal user.
I have installed from a single ISO DVD downloaded from the internet and read the DVDs of my previous Debian distro to install packages not included on DVD 1 of Debian 504 although I do not think this unusual approach can have any effect on the installation. I suspect I'll have to boot in single user mode but I have never done any troubleshooting at the command line.
(/etc/passwd and /etc shadow look OK).
Debian Configuration :: NIS User Not Allowed Because Shell Does Not Exist
May 6, 2011I have two machines running SQUEEZE, both installed and configured within the same week (not simultaneously). Both get the users info from a NIS server. In one of the machines (named "corona"), users cannot login, neither locally nor by ssh, in the other one ("xxlager") there is no problem. Both mount the users home directories by NFS. I have not found much useful info in the web. /etc/passwd, /etc/group/, /etc/shadow, are equally configured. The only difference I have found is when I use getent. Using "getent passwd isaenz" on xxlager yields:
isaenz:x:1001:1001:User Name,,,:/home/isaenz:/bin/tcsh
but on corona the result is
isaenz:x:1001:1001:User Name,,,:/home/isaenz:
so the shell info is empty.
Checking /var/log/auth.log I see a message saying:
"User isaenz not allowed because shell does not exist"
But "ypmatch isaenz passwd" returns complete information for isaenz, both on xxlager and corona.

Ubuntu :: Can't Bypass Loging Screen ?
Jun 13, 2011Yesterday I was working on Ubuntu, i shut down the computer normally, and then when i restarted it like an hour later i couldn't bypass the login screen. I insert my username & password correctly and the screen goes back for one second and then displays the login and password inputs again. I have just one username there. Before i shut it down i was trying to install Eclipse, so i messed around with some files related to Eclipse only, if that has anything to do with the problem. I also have Windows XP installed along with Ubuntu 9.10.

May 4, 2010On a ancient server Proliant 3000 (works perfect) with Smart Array 3200 and raid 5, and a CD-ROM IDE drive, I have installed Debian Squeeze or Lenny more five times without success. Before run install the OS on this server is neccesary to execute Smart Start CD, which create (block 1 of the hard disk) the Compaq Diagnostic partition (aprox 39 MB).After that proceeding, I ran the installation CD (Debian Squeeze, or Lenny, both with same results) wich ended well. The bootloader was sets on MBR or primary sector.On restart, the OS remains long time trying to load root, and later it warns something as this:"Gave up waiting for root device:" etc etc and "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/c53f0423 does not exist. Droping to a shell!"
I summarized the screen text because lines that I pasted above are clear about matter.I tried to change GRUB 2 from bootloader screen ("e" keypress) the /dev/hda or hd0 or like this, but not resolved the problem...I went to other console (Alt-F2) and I typed "fdisk -l" and "df -h" and I saw that CD drive appears like "/dev/hda"... It not's something strange?
Fedora :: Loging Initial Boot Output ?
Oct 8, 2009The main pages for logsave say that it is useful for saving the output of boot scripts before /var/log is mounted because the output is saved in memory until it can be written out. but there is now example of this.
How and where do you add the logsave command to save all the text that flashes by at boot time can be saved where you can read it cut and paste error message to forms etc.
Ubuntu :: 10.04-Loging Prompt Hangs After Update?
Jul 23, 2011I ran apt-get update to fetch firefox5. I didn't updated ubuntu since long so it down loaded around 280 updates including firefox. Now while installing I saw once EULA acceptance message for Microsoft ttf font installation, this message window doesn't have any button etc to confirm, so I did ctrl+c to exit, and then "apt-get" seems to have terminated in terminal.But I checked that it is still running in the background in process list, not sure active process or not.
I did rebooted PC assuming update might have completed. Now after reboot it boots up to the login prompt, but I don't see any cursor movement or key stroke effect. It just stays there and then after some time shuts down, with flashing error message relate to "Init.." i couldn't read it completely.
Networking :: Automated Way Of Loging Into Servers By Netbios Name Instead Of Ip's
Sep 18, 2010In recent days, (today is September 18, 2010) I've been surfing the web trying to learn how to access nodes in my soho lan by netbios names instead of having to connect through the ip number, because ip's change every time according to DHCP assignments. I do not know what has happened to the "new" command mount.cifs, but things seem to have become a bit more complicated with the new version. Security problems, they say, and surely that's the reason.
I show here an automated way of loging into servers by netbios name instead of having to resort to the use of IP numbers, hosts files, wins servers and all that jazz. This is especially useful if your soho lan have five or more network nodes, and you do not want to go finding out the ip numbers assigned to the machines you want to connect to (temporarily or permanently).
This output is piped to gawk to isolate the line containing <00>, and gawk outputs the first element (print $1) of that line, which happens to be the ip of the server ServerName. I tested the script in my soho network, which now has Linux, Windows XP and Windows 7 nodes, and it worked perfectly for both tipes of servers.I'm using GNU's gawk, but I'm pretty sure that awk would do the job just as well.

Ubuntu :: Cancel All Pending Print Jobs Automatically When Loging Out Of A Session
Dec 14, 2010Sometimes I want to keep something in PDF files, so I print to the PDF "printer". However, if I inadvertetnly forget to check the PDF creation and rather take the real printer (which is usually only powered up, when I really want to print something), printing goes to the real printers queue and nothing happens ... until, possibly some sessions later, I want to print something (on paper rather than PDF) and power up the printer.
Then all inadvertent garbage comes first and chances are big, that the printer gets junk during power up or reconnecting the cable to the computer and then the whole thing is wasting even more paper, since escape-sequences sent to the printer get chopped and misunderstood by the printer.
In order to stop this alltogether, I am looking for a mehtod, to automatically flush the whole printing queue every time when I log out of my ubuntu session.
I know, there is a command lpq to tell which print jobs are pending, I also know the command cancel -Umyname -a, but this requests for my password. I want to kill all those incomplete or pending print jobs automatically.
And how do I hook such a command script into the logoff or shutdown sequence?
Debian Configuration :: No Longer Allowed To Access The System Configuration

You are not allowed to access the system configuration.Everything was working before. I read around a bit. In some cases,it was caused by mismatching group and password files after using the gui. I do not know how to check if they are matching. Of course I do not know for sure that is the problem in my case.
