General :: Changed User Password / Unable To Start Services

Jul 25, 2011

Vmware tells me it cannot start services.I believe the issue is tied to permissions because the message indicated the log with the full details was located in /tmp/vmware-root/setup-4772.log but when I go there I receive a message telling me I do not have permission to the directory and there's a lock symbol on the directory from the File Browser utility.What do I need to do to unlock the folder and get vmware working again ?

Server :: Start Services Without User Login - Centos 5.5?

Oct 4, 2010

I installed Centos 5.5 on a home PC to be used remotely.

All server daemons work fine but only start if the user is logged in.

How do I set the SSH server to start whenever the PC is turned on, rather than when the user is logged in? I read the chkconfig man page online but couldn't find anything.

Plus I put a script in my startup services to be run whenever the computer boots (I'm guessing when the users logs in). How do I go about setting that to run too whenever the system boots instead?

Fedora Security :: User Access To Start And Stop Tomcat But Also Gives User Access To Start And Stop Other Services "/etc/sudoers"

Mar 13, 2009

I am trying to give access to ONE single user to start and shutdown tomcat server. The problem being, when I enter syntax: username ALL= /etc/init.d/tomcat5, /usr/local/tomcat/webapps, PASSWD:ALL This gives the user access to start and stop tomcat but also gives user access to start and stop other services within /etc/init.d - such as httpd etc... What is the proper way to give user access to start and stop service, and limiting that power to only one service....

Software ::vmware In Ubuntu 10.04 - Unable To Start Services ?

Sep 30, 2010

I am trying to get vmware to work in ubuntu 10.04(x64) and it just doesn't seem to work. I've made it work in debian(x64) before with the same installer but here I get errors.

installation seems to go fine with the installation script: VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.0-203739.x86_64

But when I start it for the first time I get the message before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel. and then I can press Cancel or _Install (yes with the underscore) when I press _Install it first stops the VMware Services and then says:

compiling:
-virtual machine monitor(successful)
-virtual network devide(error)
-vmware blocking filesystem(successful)
-virtual machine communication interface(error)
-vmci sockets(error)
after that it says:
Unable to start services.

See log file /tmp/vmware-root/setup-29088.log for details.

The log file:

General :: Start X Server And App At Boot (or Services Load) Time

Oct 14, 2009

I need to start an application (graphical) when the PC start, even before anybody login, and use/launch a specific user. Now only can do this manually; when gdm starts, switch to any text tty [ie. Ctrl + Alt + F1], then I login into the special user, start a X server, export the DISPLAY environment variable, and start the application.

With this steps:
Code:
$X :1 -verbose -nr -nolisten tcp &
# Maybe Metacity -> $ metacity
$export DISPLAY=:1
$JavaApp &
Now i need put this steps (script) in some place to launch the app automatically, and with and specific user [ie. manager].

How can I made it? Maybe in init.d? or an special xinitrc? And how can start the app with the specific user? And, if is possible, who can stop the app when the system going turn off? I have Debian 5.0 and a beginner knowledge of shell script.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Unable To Ftp Fc12 With A User Name And Password

Jun 19, 2010

I am able to ftp the root of my EC2 instance of fc12 with a private key. I do not know what commands were given to fc12 to get it to act this way but that is okay, it works for me.

I have created accounts for my users and set a password for each of them. The problem is that I am unable to ftp fc12 with the user name and password. The error message I get says there is no supported authentication method available.

I presume I must somehow change server security or something to allow access to users with passwords but I do not know how to do this.

Debian Installation :: Unable To Login As Specific User - Machine Not Accepting Root Password

Jul 31, 2014

Having installed Debian 7 on an old machine from a Liinux Format Magazine DVD I was unable to log in as a specific user. I can login as root and use useradd etc but when I logout of root I still cannot login as a user and nor will the machine accept my root password. I have to shutdown and reboot to get back into root. I'm using O'Reilly's Linux Pocket Guide from 2004 for the commands. Could it be that things have changed?

Ubuntu :: None Of The Services Start?

Feb 9, 2010

I am running ubuntu 9.10 with the latest patches and all the prerelase patches. At some point and i am not sure when something broke and none off the services start during the boot. Also the virtual consoles do not start. The only services that start are the one that are controlled by the gnome session. In addition i cannot start the rescue mode. It stops loading at same point where the console should show up. I am guessing that the problem is related to the upstart but i am not sure. I never ever had problems with boot in linux and this is very frustrating. I feel like i am running windows and dont know how to troubleshoot. I cannot see anything in the log that would give me a hint? I dont know where too look. I tried to activate the bootlogd but it does not work. Probably beacause the services dont start correctly. Something broke and one of the updates must changed something but i dont know what and where? Anyone can recommend where to look? How do i see the interactive boot? I tried remove the splash and quiet from grub config but i could not see anything there. I got too fast to the x login.

Debian :: Start Services Without Root?

Feb 22, 2010

I've a little Server and wanna start the services (postfix, apache, etc.) without root. My problem is, that I've installed GroupOffice and I allways got errors about permisions in some folder. When I took a look, some of the folder the apache created were from root some from www-data. After some searches in the Internet I've read that only the root user is allowed to start a Service at Ports 1-1024 or something like that...

I've already searched for programs which give the rights to the applications / unlocks them with root for a certain application ... but I've no more idea what words to search for.

Where is that **itt implemented? Is it possible to disable that?

How can I start the services without giving them root privileges?! It's a security issue after all.
