Fedora :: Vnc Policy Authorization Failure When Trying To Add Packages
Aug 24, 2009
It took me a while to get VNC going. It was easier with FC8-10. Once I got finished and was actually able to log in and see my remote desktop I tried to add some software... virtualbox.When I double click on the RPM I get popup that states."The action could not be completed. Failed to install file. You do not have the necessary privileges to perform this action" When I close that dialogue another one pops up that states" "The action could not be completed." When I click on more details the dialogue states. "Policykit authorization failure" How can I make this work?

I have setup the fetchmail as below:
Code:
poll domain.com
proto pop3
via domain.com
user "user@domain.com"
pass "123456789"
is user@domain.com
keep
no fetchall
When I try to login it gives the following message:
Code:

Trying to connect to domain.com/110...connected .....

Although I'm able to login to the webmail of my domain.com cpanel with the same username and password, please note also that it some time working smoothly and most time it gives login authentication failure:

I have set the iptables INPUT policy to DROP. As I have expected tcpdump wasn't showing any packages... for a while. Suddenly it begun to show UDP syslog packages being sent by a remote host. It is conform with the configuration of syslog, but since the INPUT policy was set to DROP, with no exceptions, it is not conform with configuration of iptables. Why after setting INPUT policy to DROP, with no exceptions most of the packets recieved before are being dropped and some not, as tcpdump shows?

I'm having issues with the gnome-packagekit not working as a user. It runs fine as root but I don't want to have to login each time to run it.
The gnome-packagekit used to ask for root password but has stopped doing so. Anyone remember or have a fix for this?
The cancel button does not work either, I need to close with the X for the window...
It now gives this error.. Authorization Failed You have failed to provide correct authentication

I just discovered that using the web interface to CUPS on my localhost I cannot apparently, authenticate. The dialog pops up, but will not accept my root user name or any other. I tried using lppasswd to create add root, but it just keeps failing. Don't remember having this problem with F12, but I recently upgraded to F14...

Every time I reboot PC I have to enter the admin password to mount ntfs partition. Is there any way to avoid this. In Fedora 10 there was remember authorization option, is there any option like this in F12?

Whenever I try and add software through packagekit I get an error telling me that Authorization failed. I would assume that I need to enter my password before the install begins but the utility never asks for it. I am able to start package kit with sudo and it then adds the software but that keeps most of the packages from running as they were added as root.

Using SSH all the time on my home network. I use ssh-keygen and ssh-copy-id to generate and then copy the key file. On one of my computers I've changed the default ssh port and see no way to copy the key without reverting the configuration to port 22 temporarily. This is not a big deal and would probably take less time than it has taken me to type this message.

The short story: I am trying to install Flash, and get this error:
I tried from the terminal, starting with su and authenticating myself, then running the .rpm file, and I get this:
Code:
[jason@Jaslinfed temporary_downloads]$ su
Password:
[root@Jaslinfed temporary_downloads]# ./adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
bash: ./adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm: Permission denied
[root@Jaslinfed temporary_downloads]#
The long story: I used to use Ubuntu religiously, but with the more recent updates it's become somewhat buggy, and too Microsoft-like for me, so I decided to try a different distro. I heard Fedora was supposed to be really good, so I went ahead and snagged it. I'm relatively familiar with Linux in general, but know nothing about Fedora specifically. So far I've just had a couple of minor issues (my panel crashes and then disappears, for example) but this one is kinda big. If I can't arbitrarily install software on a whim, I might as well be using Windows.
For the record, yum seems to be working just fine; I've already installed several other applications, but for some reason I cannot install Flash. I've tried from both Opera and Firefox, and again, I even tried straight from the command line as root, but still no luck.
In case it helps: Linux Jaslinfed 2.6.38.7-30.fc15.i686 #1 SMP Fri May 27 06:02:17 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Distro: Ubuntu 9.10 (partially upgraded to 10.04)
Terminal log below:
In addition, I was unable to uninstall libreadline5 (since I already have libreadline6 installed).
It appears that libreadline5 may be the source of this problem with dependencies.

FC12 with recent updates The bugzilla I reported is fixed in selinux 3.6.32-66 and I have 3.6.32-56. I refreshed the repositories and looked for 66 and it is not listed. Question - how often does the policy changes get posted to the repositories ? And are the repositories the normal place to get the latest and greatest ?

I need to change SELinux policy to permissive and then back to enforced for an installation. I understand that I should be able to do that through the SELinux Administration window accessed through System -> Administration ->SELinux Management. But I do not have any real sysadmin tools available in my Fedora 15 Gnome Gui interface. Am I missing something, or should I use some sort of similar command line tool to do this?

I just updated my system via yum and got an odd output after selinux-policy-targeted package finished updating.
Code:
Updating : selinux-policy-3.6.32-89.fc12.noarch 14/80

Does anyone knows what that means?

Tried google and searching this forum to no avail. Under Fedora 14, there is an selinux policy which blocks sshd from making outbound connections on port 80 or 443. This can occur when a client box tries to tunnel through the ssh connection for encrypted access to the web.
While I did manage to allow this happen by creating a permissive domain for sshd with this command:
Code:
The preferred way would be to allow sshd to make connection on other ports with a similar command that does not seem to work:
Code:
Is this the correct way of allowing an outbound port connection for the sshd daemon?

I just upgraded from 11 to 12 and then installed the Nvidia proprietary drivers from RPMFusion. Initially glxinfo wouldn't work because SELinux was stopping it from using an executable stack. Since the Nvidia drivers are proprietary and a fix may not be provided, I allowed this access to glxinfo with chcon -t execmem_exec_t '/usr/bin/glxinfo'
However it looks like every program using glx-utils also needs these permissions - so far I allowed Xorg, compiz and the Firefox video plugin to execstack. Can anyone suggest a fix for this - preferably one that avoids execstack for all those apps since its a security risk. If not how do I create an SELinux policy to automatically grant apps execstack while they use glxinfo or other nVidia libraries but not at other times.

I recently upgraded from F13 to F14 using "preupgrade". This is the first time I've used preupgrade. So far, F14 is running OK. There are some leftovers from F13 and I'm wondering if this is correct.
Q1: There are 176 F13 packages remaining. [alfrugal@localhost Documents]$ rpm -qa | grep fc13 | wc -l 176 Is this OK? FWIW, after the upgrade, I ran "package-cleanup --orphans" as recommended by the "preupgrade" page on the Fedora Project wiki.
Q2: Also, my GRUB menu was correctly updated for F14, but it still contains the three entries it had for F13. Is it normal for the preupgrade process to require the user to clean up the obsolete entries from the GRUB menu?

I am trying to configure my live install of fedora so a PC on the same intranet can access it by hostname instead of by IP address.After I installed bind, I realized the man pages recommended against bind and said instead to enable SELinux named. I tried to guess what variables to set after googling and studying the documentation and coming up empty. I used getsebool -a, and tried turning one and all on.I test using:nslookup myhostname on the linux box, since if that is working it isnt surprising that the windows box cant see it. what buttons to push to enable SELinux named, as described in fedora 13 man page for bin slight correction, the man page is for named. It says to remove the bind-chroot and use SElinux to enable named. I think I also have to create a new zone. This seems akin to proving fermats last theorem but less rewarding. anyone know what keys to push for either. I did get system-config-selinux running. I thought it was in an infinite loop but it does *eventually* load a gui. Also if you set a boolean it will grab all CPU for a couple of minutes. (used top in another terminal).

Recently I installed vncserver (tigervnc) on my desktop. Ever since my computer refuses to shutdown normally. At shutdown the following message pops up: Quote: System policy prevents stopping the system when other users are logged in Then I have to enter the root password to shutdown. If I stop vncserver before, the computer shuts down normally.

On Monday i had Centos 5.3 with / and /home in ext3, with no problems (at least i don't remember any problem).But as I decided to use XFS (I have a SSD , and i use a 3D Modeling software called Maya , that it's quite sure it could take advantage of use XFS), i decided to create in my new Solid State Disk , that i recently bought , a swap , a / partition formated in XFS , and a /home partition in XFS too.Then I used a Live cd to copy the contents from the old HDD to the new SSD , using find and Rsync --> (cd /mnt/oldroot/ ; find . -xdev -print0 | rsync -avHx --exclude-from /mnt/rsync-filter . /mnt/newroot/)
Once done , i edited fstab,Menu.lst , install grub in the MBR and i had to use mkinitrd to load the XFS.ko so be able to boot with the new system.All worked fine , although i only could log with the root , my normal user could not log , and a error appeared : GDM could not write your authorization file.This could mean that you are out of disk space or that your home directory could not be opened for writing.In any case it is not possible to login. Contact system administrator.But i remember that prior to Copy all to the new SSD , and use XFS , all was fine, and i was able to log with my user.
So thinking that perhaps the copy did by Rsync was not ok , or something i decided to reinstall Centos, now in a partition in my SSD and try another time , but without using a /home partition neither a normal user ,only using root.The SSD had a Swap , a 32 GB XFS partition and the / of the new Install in ext3 (20 GB ).Once installed Centos 5.3 , I updated only Glibc , yum and Python packages (like said in Centos 5.4 Release notes recommends , but not doing the final yum update)Then i updated only the kernel , to have a XFS supported Kernel , and then i rebooted (I would update all once migrated to xfs)

I just got unbuntu server edition installed on my server along with openssh-server. Now I am trying to set ssh so I can log in with a key authentication. I am using this guide to do it through putty on my windows machine. [URL]. After I installed ssh I logged in correctly. I then proceed to generate a key in putty. Now my problem starts when i try and put that key onto my server.
The tutorial says to type in
mkdir .ssh
My server says it cannot make that directive because it is already created. So I proceed to the next line. I believe this code sets permissions?
chmod 700 ~/.shh
Nothing happens just goes to a new line
Then I did this
cd .ssh
nano -w authorization_key
then I copied and pasted the key I got from putty gen into this file pressed ctrl o and then ctrl x
When I try logging into my server using the key auth it simply asks for my login, once it is input it says authorization invalid then ask for my password.

Every now and then a window titled 'authorization dialog' pops up. It says "you need to supply a username and a password to access this site". Please view the screenshot of that window in the attachments. Even if I cancel it, the program seeking it seems not to terminate. It returns repeatedly...in every log in also. I am pretty irritated.how to terminate this appending agony.

Normally when you have a partition that isn't mounted, when you try to mount it, it asks you for the root password.
I have two partitions. One that I wanted mounted at boot, one that I wanted you to have to know the root password to mount. In the process of trying to setup that one partition to automount at boot, I accidentally changed something (through Pysdm) that made it so the other partition no longer displays that root password verification screen. Now all it does is give me an error saying I have to be root. How can I restore that screen?
