Some of your private key files are encrypted for security reasons. In order to read them you have to provide us with the pass phrases. Server your.server.com:55 (RSA)
Enter pass phrase:
Server www.blahblahblah.com:55(RSA)
Enter pass phrase:
How to login ?
The cursor is blinking but I am unable to enter the pass phrase; the only thing I can do is press the power button to shutdown. Even if I leave the PC running for a hour I can't type anything.
I know how to resolve the problem if I am able to login.

Ever since I started using KDE as in 4.2, I have been doing this regularly. When I startup KDE, I open Dolphin and click and mount each partition with root pass. I thought it might be some KDE issue as is the ever developing code and will be fine in future updates. But now I'm in 4.2.1 and it still exists. Upon inquiring fellow users on other distros, I have come to believe this is a *Fedora only* issue now. [URL].

View 2 Replies View RelatedSince moving from centos 5.6 to fedora 15 a week ago I have been unable to get Last Pass firefox addon to work correctly. Those of you familiar to last pass will probably have seen the error message before in a variety of situations, namely "An error occurred while attempting to contact the server. Please check your internet connection." This error appears as soon as you log in (which it does manage to do) but instantly loses authentication - seems like the cookie expires almost instantly and therefore all saved sites/passwords require re-authentication with LP to use.
No network configuration has altered since the OS change, but F15 comes with firefox 4 rather than 3.6.x in centos. I know the last pass plugin should work with FF4 and have read suggestions about SSL/TLS version settings (which are 3.0 and 1.0 respectively) and disabling SELinx. Neither of these have made any difference.
I have installed Fedora 14 and everything is ok but i cant figure out how to connect to the internet,everything seems working my wireless card is recognized and it finds networks but i dont know how to configure it.Im using wireless internet with authentication (username & password) but i cant find where to put username & pass.

my laptop is running Slackware64 13.0. Today I tried to update to X.org 7.5 (version 1.7.1) from version 1.6.3 shipped with Slackware. I downloaded the relevant source tarballs from www.x.org and compiled them with no errors. The compiled packages are:

My laptop has an NVIDIA graphics card and I'm using the proprietary driver from NVIDIA. Thus I reinstalled the driver after the update and tried to launch X.org with "startx". After a short while the NVIDIA logo appears for some hundred milliseconds and disappears then. But now the screen is blank and it is not possible to switch to another VT via Ctrl+Alt+Fx. But it is possible to login from another computer and restart everything, so that I conclude that the system does not hang.
It is even possible to do work normally with the laptop from remote. If I try to kill the X-server, it ignores SIGTERM and has to be terminated by SIGKILL. But the laptop's screen stays black and empty and does not allow to switch to another VT (chvt terminates with "interrupted system call."). dmesg does not give any errors.

Why is X in F11 so slow. I have worked with fedora laptop since spring 2006. The first one was F5 and then F7. The X ran always very quickly,. well, at least quick enough. I did not feel any need to upgrade to F8 F9 or F10. I heard from my friend that new F11 is awsome. So I decided to change form F7 to F11. Result was quite big disappointment. The only good things were speed of Firefox and Opera. Specialliy Opera was like like greased lightning. But raw X applications were like snails. I mean applications compiled with lesstif or motif for example.
My machine is Acer TravelMate 2410. 1.5GHz and 512 MB RAM. Yes its old, but not too old. Can I tweak F11 somehow to make it work ?
I need to add -audit to the process /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -nr -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-MTmpH6/database -nolisten tcp vt1
And have added -audit to the line in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers but with no luck. I can't seem to find where this thing is getting launched from!
Does not matter if I first start Xorg from GDM or from console (runlevel 2 then startx), but after I upgraded to Fedora 13 Xorg is hanging on the first run.
I have to always kill Xorg and then start again. Second run works fine.
I am using Fedora12 and I'm running the radeon graphics driver, my card is ATi 8500 Radeon and I can't play hardly any games or use applications that require 3D Acceleration. The catalyst driver that I need for my ATi is too old to support Fedora 12 Xorg.is there a way to downgrade Xorg so I can install my cards drivers?
If there is how can I do this. If I run a 3D game of any kind It either works for a while and locks up the system where I can't even telnet into it to shut it down, or it won't start the game or App. I know I have some acceleration due to my glx gears, I could get into great detail of what I can and can't do.
Bottom line is since the video card is too old, not even the generic radeon driver allows me full freedom so there must be a way to install the other X.org without breakage
Code:
GL_RENDERER = Mesa DRI R200 (R200 514C) 20090101 AGP 4x TCL
GL_VERSION = 1.3 Mesa 7.7.1-DEVEL
GL_VENDOR = Tungsten Graphics, Inc.

The R200 Radeon driver for my ATi in Fedora12 is not fully compatible with my video card, I was told this on an IRC channel a while ago, I think it stopped at Radeon 9600 ATi.
Alright setting up a friends netbook, display has been a little iffy (slow. glxgears is giving like 100fps). Couple issues: xorg.conf doesn't exist (i know thats typically not an issue) and "sudo xorg -configure" and "sudo xorg --configure" both return "xorg command not found."
glxinfo say that its using Mesa for the software rasterizer and that the driver is from mesa. lspci says the VGA controller is from Intel. I'm thinking xorg is defaulting to vesa for drivers, but I need to know how to change that to the open source intel driver
I am setting up fedora 11 for a home theater. I installed fedora on another computer and figured out how to get the sound working for a Claro Halo sound card. (NOTE: you need to update the drivers for alsa to the same version of the utils that came with fedora alsa-drivers-1.0.21)So I went ahead and installed Fedora on my home theater box. Now I have a problem with the x driver. Fedora installed the nouveau driver by default. Because I have a Panasonic wide screen tv the EDID is bad on this TV so I get severe overscan (Means I can't see the top and bottum menus) I need ti install th nv driver. I looked for xorg.conf but it's not there.So my ig question is how do you change the driver for xorg? And how do I make sure I have nv installed before I try and install it with x?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI can understand installing so many xorg-x11-drv-* files being installed, especially from a livecd. What I don't understand is why I can't remove the ones for hardware I don't have. For example, if I try to do a yum remove (or use yumex to do so) xorg-x11-drv-cirrus, it wants to remove xorg-x11-drivers.Now I understand that the -drivers file is a way to force all of them to be installed. Will it break anything if I go ahead and remove it along with the extra -drv- files?It is more than an academic exercise. I have installed Fedora 12 Constantine on my EeePC 900. Given the limitation in storage space, I would like to free up as much of it as I can so these superfluous video drivers need to go away. Since I don't want to break my setup in the process, I have not executed the command.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've recently installed a Radeon HD 5770 graphics card, but it currently doesn't have support from any open source drivers (including MESA's experimental DRI drivers). The only other option would be ATI's Catalyst drivers, but 9.12 doesn't support Xorg 7.5 at the moment (the drivers disable Xorg; leaving a terminal only setup).
The question I've got is that is it possible to downgrade Xorg to 7.4 as a temp workaround and if so, how easy would it be to revert back to 7.5 afterwards.
While trying to implement some of the suggestions in the fedora 12 common problems (Intel Graphics)I discovered I cannot get the resolution correct using a xorg.conf file . Here is the file# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

View 7 Replies View RelatedMy problem is I own an HP2133 with via graphics. These drivers are very poorly supported, both open-source and proprietary drivers F13 runs quite nice on that machine, but playback of videos or flash lacks much perfomance.Proprietary drivers are only provided for Ubuntu and that only for 9.10 by VIA until know. With these drivers Ubuntu 9.10 is able to playback flash/videos quite good. But Ubuntu (9.10) brings a few annoying bugs, which do not seem to be fixed, that is the thing I do dislike with this ditstro. I pushed my luck and tried these drivers with F11/F12, but they did not work due to differences in xorg version. In F10 it was possible to use 8.04 VIA drivers, but F10 has EOL and is besides flash playback considerably slower than later Fedora releases.
So I thought using alien or similar tools to convert the xorg packages from Ubuntu 9.10 into rpms and install these to a F13 release.... (Like downgrading to an older xorg like it was necessary in F9 for ATI cards ...) As the VIA drivers did not work with earlier version of Fedora, I had the idea porting Ubuntu's xorg to Fedora that way.Before I start spending a lot of time on this, I would like the freaks and neerds around here, if this to your opinion could have any chance of success.
I have installed Kubuntu 8.04.2 on a USB stick with persistence to keep any changes I make after a reboot and it works fine. I then installed the 185 Nvidia driver to give me higher resolutions and it works fine.
But each time I reboot, my updated xorg.conf is replaced with the default xorg.conf that ships with that version of Kubuntu and a backup is made of my updated xorg.conf (the correct one) which looks like xorg.conf.20100409135913. I have to put the backup xorg.conf back in place to get my Nvidia driver to work with the correct screen resolutions again. Otherwise my screen resolution is too low.
What could be causing this behavor? I'm sure it not the persistence feature of the USB stick failing since a backup is made of my original xorg.conf.
I might add more information. The xorg.conf that gets changed after a reboot says "This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using # values from the debconf database." #
