Fedora :: Printer Configuration Failure - Error "The Password May Be Incorrect"
Aug 18, 2010
The printer configuration dialogue under Fedora 13 KDE will give the error message "The password may be incorrect" when I click on the new network printer button, however there was never anywhere that I entered a password. The configuration will continue after this but it will throw an error that it doesn't have permission to do what it needs later on. I have been searching for a bug but have not been able to find one. This is reproduceable on both Fedora 13 machines I am running.

I'm using Fedora 12 KDE, and I'm trying to connect a Lexmark printer. It's a printer that I can connect to in other KDE distros. When I try to connect to it through the system settings printer manager I get a popup window that says, "Password may be incorrect", and then it goes to the new printer window. However, there is no option for a lexmark printer, lpd, ipp, or anything in the left menu bar. There's only an option for other, and a little box that asks for the uri. Am I missing a package, or is this normal behavior? Do I have to somehow open this up in sudo? Am I missing a package? I have cups, foomatic, and ghostscript installed.

I am trying to install a new printer and delete my old one. It keeps asking for my password, I enter the same one that I log on with. It keeps telling me that the password may be incorrect. To my knowledge, I only know the one that I log on with. Does anyone know what the heck this thing is talking about?

I don't know how I've managed to mess this one up, but in the midst of securing my webserver (ie. changing default SSH port, add new user, disable root SSH) I seem to have broken su functionality....somehow.
When I ssh as my user "lockdown" I attempt to "su -" and immediately am prompted with "su: incorrect password"
Code: lockdown[ at ]bag [~]# su
su: incorrect password
lockdown[ at ]bag [~]#
I re-enabled root SSH login (via editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config) and I'm able to SSH as root no problem, however I can't su even from root to another user, getting the same behavior and error message..
Code: root[ at ]bag [~]# su lockdown
su: incorrect password
root[ at ]bag [~]# Here are my permissions for /bin/su ...
Code: root[ at ]bag [/]# ls -l /bin/su
-rwSr-xr-- 1 root wheel 28336 Feb 28 2010 /bin/su* My user "lockdown" is a member of the wheel group, and I haven't edit /etc/pam.d/su or system-auth at all.

We want a file server for the office and have installed Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop onto a PC we had laying around with the intent of having it accessible by our Macs (all-mac environment). We followed the guide here:
http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/06/...achine-volume/
The server is visible (most of the time) in Finder with the Xserve icon but we cannot connect to it using the Ubuntu login/pw - it simply says "Incorrect username or password" no matter what we put in. We can always find it with Command+K.
The content of /etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default is:
~/ "Home Directory"
~/ "$u" allow:cserver cnidscheme:cdb
where cserver is the sole login for Ubuntu.
We didn't follow any of the instructions under the "Time Machine" section of that guide because we assumed we wouldn't need to since we're not needing that function.
What are we missing?

I have built a linux image based on kernel 2.6.32.10. The image boots up fine & at the login prompt when I enter the login Id - the
system doesnt prompt for password - instead throws an error message "Login incorrect".
mygway login: admin
Login incorrect
login: root
Login incorrect
From all the search I did, I narrowed this down to be a pam configuration issue. I checked that the /etc/securetty has an entry "/dev/ttyS0" to allow root to logon via serial console - so I ruled out this file to be a cause for that error. Few files that I am not entirely sure are as below:
1) /etc/pam.d/login
sudo cat login
#%PAM-1.0
[code]....

I just did a standard install of Fedora 12 including the specification of a root password and a user ID/Password.
When Fedora starts, it accepts the password for the user ID but it shows an authorization failure for the root passwword. However, in a terminal session the root password is accepted when I enter the "su -" command.
How do I get the Gnome Desktop to accept the root password?
Related to this is an interesting security issue when I use the "su -" command to switch to the root user in a terminal session. Apparently, I do not get full root privileges as far as Nautilus is concerned. Nautilus loads but has a very restricted range of files/folders. It won't let me access "Computer" so that I can drill down through "Filesystem", etc. In contrast, Gedit run from the terminal will allow editing of all files after I enter the "su -" command in the terminal window.
I have run "yum update" to install the latest version of all packages but nothing has changed. I'm downloading the DVD image of Fedora 11 but I hate to do a another total Fedora install if I can avoid it.

I just installed Fedora 12 on HP Pavilion (dual boot with Windows vista). I made it all the way through the installation and created my user account. A few seconds later I got the login screen asking for my password. I enter the password and get "Authentication Failure."
The name that shows up on the login screen is my full name, not the user name that I created. Is that wrong?

Code: Select all:~$ su
Password: #Typed user password
su: Authentication failure
~$ su
Password: #Typed root password
su: Authentication failure
:~$ sudo su
[Code] ....
The file does open but with a warning in red saying i could harm my system. Had almost got everything configured just as like it, tried adding a custom action (open as administrator) to Thunar and my house of cards collapsed around me.
Debian 8 xfce, single user account, passwords and user names are single characters so it's a given there's no typing error.
Code: Select all:~# cd ..
:/home# cd ..
:/# mkdir -p /root/.local/share/
:/# touch /root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel
:/# exit
exit
:~$ gksu mousepad /etc/apt/sources.list
Got another window prompting me for password, gave "Incorrect password...try again"

My root filesystem recently filled up. I finally established why - that my /media directory had filled up due to the USB-attached device having been unmounted for whatever reason, and SimpleBackup tried backing up without the mount in place - thereby filling up the filesystem.
I discovered that the root directory was full when the machine tried to get updates, and couldn't. So, I went into /media and tried to delete the backup directory and file(s) that were in that directory, but it tells me that permission is denied. So I try to SUDO the same command, and it tells me 3 times in a row, "Sorry, try again", followed by "sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts".
So, how to I get root privileges back again?
Code:
name@machine:/media$ sudo rm -R FreeAgent
Sorry, try again.
Sorry, try again.
Sorry, try again.

I installed Ubuntu Server 10.10 with the GUI on a spare box I had. This is my first experience with Ubuntu. I have never used Linux before this. The system works great and logging on is no problem. However I installed 2 applications, gparted and samba. When I go to open either application I enter my logon password and I am told that the password is not correct. I am the only user on this machine and went to the accounts setting and changed my account type from custom to administrator to no avail.
I formatted my drive and reinstalled the whole thing again and got all available updates also. I reinstalled gparted and samba a second time on the new install and I still am told that the password is incorrect again when opening thes apps. Is there a simple, easy to understand way for this first time Ubuntu 10.10 user to correct this. There must be a minor flaw in this OS that is denying me use of my apps.

I just got a new laptop for work that dual boots with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10.Normally, I can use an sslvpn connection to log onto my office servers to transfer data back and forth through Windows. However, I do my actual work on Linux, which the computing services department at the university where I work has not set up a sslvpn connection method for.I got the JRE set up on Linux and loaded up the sslvpn connection when I was asked for my sudo password. After following some other instructions, I created a different password to act as root.I entered that password over and over again and now I'm not able to attempt to connect again by trying another password.

I am trying to setup 2-factor authentication for SSH with PAM. Its working well, but if the password is incorrect, it does not ask for validation code, but rather asks for the password again. Any way not to warn about an incorrect password?

After locking my GUI session, if I type my password incorrectly when I come to unlock it, the system often (not always) seems to hang for a long time, with the text "Checking..." displayed. The length of time can be many minutes.The system is not actually frozen - if I hit CTL+ALT+F6 I can log on to a console session, from which I can see a tty7 process (i.e. the GUI session) using the 'ps' command. Sometimes the only way I can recover is to kill this process, upon which a new GUI session starts up, but this is undesirable as I lose any open applications.

One of my servers is displaying the error as login incorrect even after giving the correct password. Once I restarted the Virtual Machine and after that it is accepting the same password to login. I am not able to find out the problem, why the server is not able to validate the password until the virtual machine gets rebooted.
