Fedora :: Resetting The Saved Password In Nautilus Of 11
Mar 11, 2010
I have been using Nautilus file browser in my fedora 11 desktop to browse Samba shares of our servers. Let me explain my problem.
We have two users test1 and test2 who can access Samba shares for downloading and uploading files.
test1 has read only access.
test2 has read/write access.
When I initially connected to the samba share through test1 user through Nautilus file browser I clicked on remember password.
But now when I try to access the share again, its not prompting for password. It is directly taking test1 user's password who doesn't have write access to share.
How to get the password window back to fill test2 username and password.?

When I go to "/home/scribe/.config/session-state" I see several files that begin with the word "nautilus" and they have various date time stamps that lead me to believe they are snapshots of the nautilus folders I had opened on that day.
Is there an easy way I could "execute" on of those files so it would open up all of the nautilus windows I had opened on a particular day?

I have forgotten my user password....HOWEVER I remembered the root password and am able, (after much fumbling about)to get into the machine. Is there a way of resetting my password? It obviously will not let me do so on the password-reset-screen as it requires the old password....

I bought a ChemBook laptop which I have installed Ubuntu Linux on. It has an AMI BIOS. There is a password on the BIOS so I can not change its configuration. The laptop does not have a 3.5inch floppy. How do I reset or remove the BIOS password so I can access it and make my own changes and set up my own password?

Is there a way to crack the windows Administrator password in Linux (using the SAM file) WITHOUT resetting it?
Ok so Ive already got Ubuntu 10.10 on a usb bootstick. Chntpw is installed as well. What I'm wondering is are there any programs to crack as in decrypt the SAM file and show the password but not erase it? Most Linux programs Ive come across don't do this. They just reset the password.

I have no fracking clue what my password is and I want to create multiple user accounts. I have no idea whether or not I need to re-install the OS or what..nor can I even begin to imagine how to do so without a CD drive..I should also note I didn't start her up myself.

Owned linux laptop (running UBUNTU) for 1.5 yrs. Love it. No problems... until:
1. I changed my password, via System - Admin - User & Groups - Properties. (I just typed 2 characters on the end of the old User Password and the Confirmation password and OK'd it all.
2. Shut down laptop. Upon restarting it (only minutes later), neither the new pw or the old one worked.
3. Googled for help on another machine. Booted linux laptop up in recovery mode and used the passwd <?> command to reset pw (back to the original one!).
4. Shut down. Started laptop up again... forever more firefox runs like a dog. Normally (90% of the time) it times out before reaching a page, though it is trying to transfer the data.
Let's be clear about this. It was fine. The very next time I used firefox - minutes after the password debarcle, it was cac, and has remained cac ever since.
I've been whizzing around on firefox for over a year without any issues. There have been no changes to the router. My microsoft laptop has no issue with the internet so it cant be router or telco related. Though I did reset the router (power and phone line) just to be sure. It didn't help.
I clear the private data (Tools menu) in firefox regularly (daily-ish). That is the only housekeeping I do on this machine. (It only gets used for mail, internet and the odd simple OpenOffice document). There is stacks of space left (70 Gig). I'm not sure how to check memory.
Googled for help and tried some command to purge temp files. That didn't help.
I love my linux laptop, but currently I'm having to resort back to my windows one.

We have a server for which the root password had been lost, and there were no other user accounts set up. Yesterday evening I attempted to reset the root password by booting from the install CD and using VI to clear the root password in the passwd and shadow files. I then rebooted, and the system has halted with an 'FSCK failed. Please repair manually and reboot' error, with a prompt to 'Enter root password' below. But of course the root password isn't known (I had expected it to blank after editing the passwd and shadow files, but it doesn't work), so I have no way of logging on.

This is regarding the PPC machine in our lab, the OS running is Linux. Since we dont know the root login and password, we couldn�t login to this PPC machine. We tried to login as using single user to reset the password however when we reach the single user prompt, inputs from the keyboard are no longer recognized and the machine freezes.
Make: Motorola
Model: MVME2604 PPC
OS: Linux 2.4

I have saved a wireless password on my ubuntu 10.10 and I connect to it everyday. The other day I wanted to pass it to my friend to use the connection but I couldn't find the saved password. So I checked some forums and I realized it should be possible to find the saved passwords under Systerm > Preferences > Passwords and encryption keys. Although I can only see one of my saved passwords, the other one is missing.

I was transferring data from one computer to my laptop and crash error came up on my laptop...
Error 1:
Nautilus-2.32.0-1.fc14 Reason: Process/usr/bin/nautilus was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)
Error 2:
Openoffice.Org-Brand Crash
Reason: Process/usr/lib/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin was killed by signal (SIGABRT)
What could be the problem? Is it serious issue? I have been having security issues with Windows and are those issues begun once again? I have been under targeted attack since 2005.

My issue is like this: I have a laptop (dell vostro 1400, NVidia 8400M video card) running Fedora 12 up to date. My desktop is KDE 4. I usually run the laptop connected to the power outlet, so my power profile is set to "performance". This power profile sets the screen brightness to the maximum. However, when I'm in the dark, I want to lower the screen brightness. The shortcut keys work, and the screen brightness is lowered. However, for some reason, after about 30 seconds it resets itself to the highest brightness setting. No matter how I set the brightness, it will always reset itself. Any ideas what can i do to correct this?

I've got on board HDA ATI SB using VIA VT1708S chipset. I have to get into Alsamixer everytime I reboot the computer to reset the 'Master' volume level so that I can hear the sound on my computer. I also have a Logitech 9000 webcam with built in mic also.. It is my understanding they may both may be conflicting with one and another. They both work. Alsamixer doesn't have a setting that allows you to save your levels once they have been adjusted, just 'esc'. How can I set alsa mixer up to keep my settings so that I don't have to continually reset them when the computer is rebooted?

Well, I reinstalled after this update fiasco we just had and now I am having issues with my driver resetting. I open terminal and type in:
Quote:
sudo rmmod rt2800usb
Finishes properly. I then pull my USB device, plug it back in, new driver kicks in. Wireless then works fine. However, upon reboot, it's back to using the rt2800usb driver, which doesn't work. So I head back to terminal and repeat the step above and all's well after.
I am fairly new to Fedora, so how can I actually get Fedora to completely blacklist the rt2800usb driver?

I have 4 machines running 10.04 32 bit Intel--- all use SSH to connect to a remote server drive (disk). All except one of the machines work just fine when accessing the remote drives. The fourth PC keeps asking for a password with every directory change.
If I select cancel three times (on the troublesome unit), the desired directory opens but then the same routine occurs with the next directory change.

I'm having a bit of trouble with my external hard-drive. Here's how it goes: I click on the HDD in nautilus, and it prompts me for a password. It gives access to the files, but to edit, remove, or add any files, I have to open it as nautilus under root! How do I change the permissions so I only have to type my password once?

When I reboot, and check "synclient -l" all the options except the last two ("VertTwoFingerScroll","HorizTwo FingerScroll") are configured the way I made it. These keep getting reset to zero and I tried adding this snippet to the end of files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d but to no avail.If I do "synclient VertTwoFinger Scroll=1" then it my two finger scroll works, but I want it to be permanant. Anyone have a clue why it keeps going back to 0?

I'm trying to make a particular file accessible on my computer ( /dev/uinput ) without having to use sudo or su - I've set up a wiimote to act as a remote for my media player, and it requires access to that file. When I use chmod, chgrp or chown to change the file's settings, it enables access to the file - however, when I reboot my PC, the settings get reset, and I have to change the access rights when I first use it again. I've tried using the following commands to make the changes (substituting my username/groupname as user and group below), as root:

I'm new to Fedora; been using it for just a few hours. I have Fedora 10 setup on a LiveUSB and it works great. However, any setting that I make or files I save are gone when I reboot. For instance, I change the mouse cursor speed and made a "Test" word doc and saved it to the desktop. Yet when I reboot, the "Test" file is gone and does not even show as a recent document and the mouse speed setting was set back to default.Am I missing something that need to be accomplished prier to the shutdown?

I'm running Fedora Laughlin 14 (that may be redundant, but I'm new to Linux still) and am trying to backup some files so I can wipe and start over with a partitioned drive. The thing is, I'm having trouble with Gnote. Where do these notes get saved? I found a post saying it was /home/user/.local/share/gnote/ but I can't seem to find this folder. Unless I'm going about it in all the wrong ways, it doesn't seem to exist. Is my only choice to c/p all the notes one by one into another file type, or is there yet hope for finding the folder they're saved in?

I'm having a problem with the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental, I bought a new monitor, Samsung 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor (B2430H) and my old monitor was a 24 inch too but with a different native resolution, my new monitors native resolution is 1680x1050 and I try to change the settings in the system settings/ display/ size&orientation area since the mesa drivers don't have a xorg.conf but my settings don't save after a reboot. Is there a config file for the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental where I can change these settings?

I have the problem that Fedora doesn't save my default applications.When I change it, it does work for some time, but when I reboot it's all gone. So every time I open Chrome I have to select "Make default browser" (very annoying). It doesn't save the default settings for specific extensions neither. For example when I open a .exe file it always open with Archive Manager now while I have selected Wine as default program for that.

Not sure if others have noticed this. When I go into sound settings, click the output tab, select the sound device I want to edit and change the bass levels etc, close the window and go back in all the settings are reset to default and no changes are saved.
If I leave the window open and make the changes they are reflected in VLC for example, but if I close the window it again resets to defaults and my Bass is back at Maximum....
Is this a BUG I should report or is there something I can download to get this configured elsewhere or to fix this issue? I seem to recall something similar in Fedora 14 that was fixed, but I cant remember how I did it now
