I am wondering if there is a way for me to logon without being prompted fory user password - I am guaranteed to be the only one using this machine.(I recall seeing a cli code that set this but after lots of searching can't find it)

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis afternoon, I tried to change the password, for the windows access via Samba, but I goofed.
While logged in with a Putty session, I typed code...
It asked me for the new password after the first line, then again after the second line as expected.
In retrospect I probably should not have typed the first line.
Now, however, I can't log in via putty. When I attempt to, it asks for my password, but neither the new nor old password works.
I DO have access to the Samba shares from other windows machines using the new password so that is OK.
It is a non GUI 10.04 server with one user, mark.
Help, please, how do I fix it?
Ideally, I guess I want the old password for the log in, but the new password for Samba shares.
I have ubuntu installed in a partition on my computer and when I installed it i made it so that you don't have to provide a password to logon to the user account. How can I change this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have succesfully set up authentication manually in Ubuntu so users can log on with Windows Active Directory accounts and have their network drives mapped automatically using pam_mount.
Please note due to the setup I can't make any changes to the Windows 2k3 server.
If a user wants their password reset I can change it to a generic password. When they next log on to a Windows computer with the generic password it will automatically ask them to change it to something else.
Is there anyway to get this to work with Ubuntu 10.10? At the moment when logging onto Ubuntu with an account that is in this state the message Please change your password appears, it then proceds to log on without prompting to change the password and natually it won't map the drives etc.
Our system is based on RH4 and is using pam_tally and faillog to record failed attempts and to lock users out after 5 attempts. We have a requirement to provide a normal (non-root) user logging onto our system, with information regarding the number of failed logon attempts made on their account before the current successful logon (similar to the functionality provided by HP Protect Tools on Windows). My first idea was to add 'faillog -u $USER' to the bashrc, however by the time the bashrc is run - the user has been successfully authenticated and the faillog has been reset back to zero.

In /var/log/secure, I find the following:

As soon as I uncheck the "user must change ..." option, the user can log on without problems. Also password change via the passwd command works.

Problem: what happened to gdmsetup?
I need to:
1) change the greater
2) set the users in the greater
3) set the automatic logon
4) set the timed logon.
Is there a substitute or testing utility for gdmsetup?
How do I get the normal GDM logon dialog that was in F8 - the one with the User field displayed directly, and the drop down menus at the top?
F10 was successful. I changed the pam configuration to allow root logon at the GUI screen.
But this screen is different. All I get is 3 choices in a list: FTP Logon to Web Site, Ghost for Linux, and "Other". I only get the User field if I choose Other, and at that point I also get Sus[pend, Restart, and Shutdown buttons.
In fedora 14, the user order on GNOME login screen is completely different from that in fedora 13. Is there any way to order the users by date of creation ASC, not by name ASC?
Also, it is completely random. This time when I started my computer, my account was listed first. When I started this thread, it was listed last. What's happening?
I download some gdm logon themes but I can not find the way to change it. the site is gnome-look.org

View 9 Replies View RelatedThis all started when I had no sound being detected by my laptop's mic. I also have an external USB sound card and it was not detecting mic sound either. I had previously done recording with Audacity (it could have been back in Ubuntu 8.04).
Now, I had a feeling that I was going to break something trying to get the mic to work. Sure enough, I'm at the point now where I cannot logon to the GUI (gdm).
I made a number of changes before my last reboot.
Here's a summary of what I think is the primary cuase (pulseaudio!):
At one point, I had lost sound altogether (I believe this was a result of having installed pulseaudio Volume control, which someone used to unlock and configure their mic).
So, things were starting to degrade. Being the persistant and stubborn one that I am, I decide to trudge on.
I had read enough suggestions (and desite enough "didn't fix" responses), I decided to try removing pulseuadio altogether. After rebooting, I was not able to log on.
Let me try to describe this logon situation as clearly as possible: When the laptop boots up, it shows the Ubuntu logo with the colored dots below moving from right to left (orange/white).
When I get to the user logon screen, it's not as fancy as it normally is. The logon window which allows me to select the user is a little more basic and the background is a simple black/purple color. The day and time is displayed on the task bar below as well as a power icon with options to suspend, restart and shut down.
This is how the logon screen used to look:[url]
I've been unable to find a screenshot of the current state and I don't think I'll be able to post one due to my technologically limited situation.
When I select my user and enter the password, The screen goes blank (or displays what appears to be the console for CTRL+ALT+F1) and then I'm back at the user selection as described above as if I hadn't even tried to log on.
At this point, I'm not positive which distro I'm using, nor which kernel, but survey says:
My laptop is a Pavilion zd8000.
lspci shows I have: VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inv M22 [Mobility Radeon X300]
I'm not sure if this is proper. When I run /etc/init.d/gdm stop, I get: Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service( utility, e.g. service gdm stop.
Probably not, because when I try sudo service gdm stop, it returns: stop: Unkown instance.
OK. Maybe it's OK, because running sudo service gdm start, I returned back to the logon screen. (But, I'll include this because it may indicate something, but I think it may be the way the "service" works now...)
(I do have networking enabled, so I can run apt-get and what not)
I find this interesting. I installed kdm. I started it after stopping gdm (through the service command as noted above). I was able to log on through kdm, but I'm not brought to a desktop, only a black background and a terminal window in the upper-left corner, without any window frames (I can't min/maximize/close). There doesn't appear any way to log out...
I'm not exactly sure where to go from here. I'm getting more interested in a backup/reinstall, but I may not have the ability to do that on hand, so I'd like to try to get things working. At the very least, I'd like to be able to log on and do work. Sound would be nice and a working mic would also be nice, but I can do without either of those two for now.
Most of the solutions I've been able to find in terms of not being able to log on has been a result of:
- Bad usernames/passwords
- Insufficient drive space to allow logon
While I haven't tried creating any new users and logging on with them, I'm confident it wouldn't do any good. df -a shows: /dev/sda1 Available = 6324296. Should be enough for basic operations.
My plan at this point is to start woking on the kdm angle. Since I am able to log on, but only to a terminal window, perhaps I can find some info on why that happens...
I am running Ubuntu 9.10 server and I am trying to get the IP address of the machine to display at boot (before login) but so far no luck. Here is what I have tried: Created a script called displayip:
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig eth0 | grep "inet addr:" | awk -F'inet addr:' '{print $2}'
which is located in the /etc/init.d directory. changed the permissions to make it executable: chmod +x displayip then ran update-rc.d displayip defaults which ran successfully. Upon boot it doesn't show up with anything.
Hey currently running Lucid x64. After installing tex-common due to there being errors on all app installations (the apps all seemed to work fine though). I am unable to proceed past the GUI logon, the screen just goes black and returns back to the logon screen. I should also note that the PC was setup to automatically login, so it shouldn,t ask me to logon any way.
I had installed many updates earlier that day and also the nvidia graphics driver (before updates), rgba gtk+ module, gnome-color-chooser and upgraded nautilius. All which where working fine at the point before tex-common installation.
there i have installed 10.10 today and cant logon, i can type the username, but when i try to type the password nothing happens, the cursor blinks but no letters characters or numbers work??? the only key that appears to work is the enter key. so obviuosly i cannot enter a password and it times out after 60 seconds. what do i do is it the keyboard?? this is on an older pc (not this one) that i was using win xp on, and got sick of the hassles with windows.
maybe should i reinstall without passwords?
I recently decided to get back into Ubuntu and installed 10.10 on my Acer Aspire 7741Z. The live USB worked great but the installed OS won't load the GUI. The loading screen does not show but instead there is a ton of text. The logon is the 'standard' logon (Ubuntu 10.10 -computer name- tty1). I can logon using the account information that the graphical installation asked for. After awhile, the screen goes blank. Pressing the power button, the text comes back and Ubuntu the message "ppdev: user-space parallel port driver" has appeared. Using "startx" causes the screen to go blank, and the screen comes back when the power button is pressed before shutting down.
