I just installed FC11 yesterday and I can login on terminal window usingu and root password no problem. However if I try to login atachine startup screen as root and password it tells me denied password.
View 4 RepliesI have fedora 12 installed in my system.But i cant login into it as root user even using 'sudo su'what to do?Each time i am having the following problem
[sujal@hclhome ~]$ sudo su
[sudo] password for sujal:
sujal is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
Somehow an app on this box seems to have disappeared long ago which was configured to start immediatedly with a root login (eg su). Now, whenever upgrading permissions to root or logging (and assuming login as root), an error displays saying "cannot find <application>"
Considering root usually is different than other logins, am not sure where to start looking on an OpenSuSE box. I've tried without success
BASH -v to enable verbose mode before executing a "su."
BASH --debugger to enable debugging mode before executing a "su."
Logout, Login as root and inspect /var/log/ hoping to find some logfile that audits the login sequence, but may be looking at a wrong logfile.
I edited the passwd file to modify the default shell for root from bash to tcshnow when I try to login to root it gives me the following error:"su: /bin/tcsh : No such file or directory"
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just installed Fedora 12 on a laptop. I changed the default shell on the root account to /bin/tcsh and changed the runlevel to 3 and then rebooted. Now I can't login into the root account: it returns me immediately to the login prompt and I can't see any error message (the screen is cleared).Why is this happening?Can I boot into some sort of safe mode so I can undo my changes to the /etc/inittab and /etc/passwd file?I tried booting with a Live CD with the intention of mounting the filesystem and making the changes, but the new filesystem is a LVM and it won't let me mount it (or I don't know how to mount a Logical Volume).

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am running it on a Dell PowerEdge 300 and am having all kinds of problems. First problem was that the second NIC will not start at boot. I have to manually start it every time I re-boot.
Ok, so I set up SSH and no mater what I do, it too will not start at boot time. Same with Apache and vnc.
So I use it as a development platform with eclipse. I have my Laptop running 14 32 bit and it was a dream. This eclipse install was a pain from the get go. Now I cannot get the debugger to consistently run no mater what I do. It will run for a bit then the next time I try it will not start. Very strange.
PHP is also a problem. None of the mysql functions work. Yes I loaded the mysql libs but still no luck.
Think I;ll go back to the 32bit 14 and stick with it for a while unless someone has some good suggestions on how to get it running smoothly.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWith my first kernel, that comes with Fedora 10 x86_64 installation DVD, I can use ctrl + alt + f2 from desktop, switch to terminal, and log in to any user.
The problem is:
Eventhough the login screen appears as usual with kernels 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.x86_64 and 2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.x86_64, I can not login. When I enter username and password, the screen refreshes itself to its initial state, i.e., like when i hit ctrl + alt + f2 from desktop. I also tried ctrl + alt + f3, f4, f5 etc nothing changes. Also, I want to remind you that I can login from desktop terminal successfully.
The problem is after I change wallpaper, logout and log back in the wallpaper reverts back to the previous wallpaper. Here's what I did from fc10 64-bit:
From System->Preferences->Look And Feel->Appearance choose Background tab.
Frolm Background tab click Add button and browse for the .jpg in ~/Wallpaper
Now wallpaper changes but doesn't persist on logout. Could a folders or config file have the wrong permissions?

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 8 Replies View RelatedI have installed fedora 13 , 86_64. and was working fine until now. The problem was that JEXEC service Froze while booting. So I removed it /etc/init.d. The next time when I booted ATD service Froze, so I removed it by the same way. Next it was the turn of CROND followed by KSM , KSMTUNED. Then came ABRT-DAEMON which I had to type a #yum erase abrt* command. Finally it came to the turn of SM-CLIENT. I don't know where it is or what it is. Didn't find quality posts on the internet. What the heck should I do and I dont want to do a reinstall.

Quote: Most likely this problem has something to do with your graphics driver. But I would wait for more insight from others if I were you. It is a driver/library problem, so you should report the bug to Fedora.
After the 4th install The printer will at least produce a test page, but the available resolution is low, I suspect I need the gutenprint enhanced drivers, printer is a EPSON R285. Where do I find the nvidia libs so I can use the Nvidia driver for my ancient 8500 GTX. Using the package manager find nvidia shows nothing.
Are these libs held on another repo, as in other distros?, and is Acroread availble? is there a listing if the repos somewhere, I have some apps that have to be compiled and are a pig to get going, due to using those funny cut down libs that ubuntu use. When I backed up the last failing version of FC13, which hung as soon as yum was started, didn't print ect, I didn't close firefox down before copying the file. So the user config is locked, ie, you get firefox is already running, and fails to start. I found parentlock and deleted it, but but there is another lock file that needs to be removed, and I can't find it.. Anyone know the location of the lockfiles for firefox.?
I had a fully working Nvidia driver setup in FC 12 with no problems using an old LG monitor (LCD panel) on a VGA connection. I have just replaced the monitor with a newer Dell model that has a DVI connection. I plugged it in and got nice Post Screen, FC 12 boot progress display but when it got to displaying the login screen it went black.
Ctrl +Alt+F2 took me to a command prompt where I can type commands no problem. If I change the driver to the Nouveau (and Chattr +a the xorg.conf file) I get a lovely gui. So far nothing I have tried has let me use the Nvidia driver. I have searched around Google and tried nvidia-xconfig, system-config-display, livna-config-display xrandr (which fails to work at all) but so far I have got no where.
The only user that can make the sound card work on a F10 x86_64 system is root. For non root users, I am not seeing any error messages when a app tries to use/access the sound card, just nothing plays. As I said, for root everything works as expected. I am sure this is a permission/setup issue, but I have no idea where to start.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running Fedora 14 and can set my box for SSH after I login as root.
My question is I can script this process but how would I enable the root in the script? Also is there any way I can configure this in the OS where when the machine boots up I can log in remote so SSH will always be on.
I am running a Linux box an would like it to act as a server but keep in mind that it wont always be on and I only use it for educational purposes.
Well I did something pretty stupid and now I can't log in with my user other than the root user. Basically, I wanted to change my username and so I when to the admin > user & accounts - and selected the account I wanted to change. Anyway I did that and then logged out. Since then all I get when I reseted is a spinning mouse ball and a black screen. I can get into the shell prompt - but I'm not sure how I'd go about fixing this issue I created. At the moment I'm logged in the shell with root, and if I type 'id' I can see my old username, but I think the links behind it are broken.
