General :: Kdialog And College Network - Unable To Read Policy
Sep 18, 2010
I am running Kubuntu 10.04 and as part of the registration process for connecting to my college residences network, I have to download and run one of thosese retarded Bradford Dissolvable Agent, it is a bin file and when I execute it I get: :~$ sudo sh Bradford_Dissolvable_Agent.bin Bradford_Dissolvable_Agent.bin: 92: kdalog: not found Bradford_Dissolvable_Agent.bin :: Unable to read policy Now you can ignore the fact it says kdalog instead of kdialog, examining the bin file in kate shows it's just a typo.
I'm not entirely sure what to do regarding kdialog, I assume it is installed (it's there in /usr/bin/), does anyone have any idea how to troubleshoot this further, Here is the first 100 or so lines of the script if anyone wants to take a look:

I'm trying to watch some of my college's sports online, and they are set-up to use silver-light, but for me it is epic fail. Seems like others are having similar problems, but that is why this is a FAQ, or a FOP, frequently occurring problem. And if I don't post it again, its not treated as a frequent occurring problem. The college page suggests that I use moonlight to watch, but the iced/tea program it recommended broke other programs operation.

I have recently upgraded my OS from Lenny to Squeeze.The new setup boots, but sent a "Warning" message during the upgrade - which said:The reference to "/dev/hdb" (the Hard Disk that has my Linux OSs) in "/etc/lilo.conf" is deprecated.The full text of my entry currently reads:boot=/dev/hdb.So what should the entry read to conform with the new Debian policy?

The goal of the script is the following:Whenever I leave my house, my wife comes to my computer to check her mails (She has two computers of her own but they have a dangerous operating system, so they have been banned from the internet).She shuts down qbittorrent so as to download all her mails, and she forgets to execute it again on 98% of the times. End result: my computer is sometimes turned on for 10 hours doing absolutely nothing.I had therefore two choices: a) get on my wife's nerves until she gets the problem or b) write a bash script.If you are married, you will understand that bash scripts are easier to deal with than spouses.Ergo, I wrote the following script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash -x
while true ; do

The titles says about everything. CD's are perfectly automounted.WhenI insert a DVD however (I tried various DVDs), absolutely nothing happens, as if I would have inserted nothing or a blank DVD.I already read lots of threads and nothing o help... Here are the outputs of a few commands that might or might not be useful.A line I added myself in fstab which appears completely useless:

I know that this is a linux forum, but I need to tap the brains of folks that have experience in this filed. My wife is the assistent IT director of a large community college in Pittsburgh, PA. They are running 4000-5000 client PC's. between the labs a nd faculty, across multiple campuses. They are rolling out Win 7 64 bit across all machines. They have 1/2 the PC's on Forefront and 1/2 on TrendMicro. They want to re-evaluate the AV solution, and are unable to find any decent review or tests for Enterprise level AV/spyware/malware solutions.

I recently (like yesterday) decided to put linux on my laptop because I'm annoyed with windows. However after formatting my hard drive I seem to have an error message at the same point in windows xp and linux when attempting to log on. I have abandoned windows completely and intend to only run Linux on my laptop however after I type my password the following message pops up:
There was an error setting up inter-process communications for KDE. The message returned by the system was:
Could not read network connection list.
/home/jtb360/.DCOPserver_Josh Laptop__0
Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running!
I have attempted to delete the only dcopserver file I can find and ran some suggested commands at the command prompt (I haven't used one since Windows 3.1) to remove an ICE file in hopes that it would recreate the file and run properly after reboot and neither effort prevailed. My next step is dropping it from escalating heights until it either works or dies.

I am using Wind River Linux- 2.6.27.18-WR3.0bg_standard. The problem is whenever I execute "reboot, ls, cd" and many other commands the OS prompts me an error-
"end request: i/o error, dev sda, sector "(different sector each time)" and
EXT3-fs error (device sda1):ext3_get_inode_loc:unable to read inode block- inode-4088001, block-4097027
I also executed "dmesg", it also showed similar errors. Has the disk gone bad or the kernel is corrupted?

I am trying to prepare my PowerEdge 2950 before CentOS 5.3 installation(web server). I have hardware RAID 1/10 so I will have 2 virtual disks(VD).
First VDRAID 1) - 2 physical disks
Second VDRAID 10) - 4 physical disks
What should be write policy for the VD(RAID 1) and for the VD(RAID 10)? I would have "/var" and maybe "/tmp" on RAID 10.

Today i was going through some of security guides written on linux .Under shadow file security following points were mentioned.1)The encrypted password stored under /etc/shadow file should have more than 14-25 characters.2)Usernames in shadow file must satisfy to all the same rules as usernames in /etc/passwd.3)password for application Username should display * if username is not locked.4)If a user is locked it should be displayed as ! as the first character in second field of shadow file.
Confusion for point 1 and 2:Now i m confused as why the encrypted password should be more than 14-25 characters.Also what rules to satisfy How to check it?Confusion for point 3 and 4:There are lot of users with * as second field i guess they are not locked but according to 4th point there are lot of users with ! as first characters.How would i check whether they are actually locked or not.I m posting the output of /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd files for the account.

I am running the latest suse release downloaded directly from their website. I ran the installation after buring the dvd and everything seemed to be working fine. after the installation i ran updates and used it for a little bit. When i shut it down that night and went to restart it I got an error that stated the OS wasnt there. I then went through the installation and everything and it retained the information from the installation before (web history etc.) but for some reason every time I reboot or shut it down the system is not able to read the startup information from the hard drive and will not come on without me re installing it.

I am using pam module to set password policy in my SuSE linux machine. This is my /etc/pam.d/common-password file:
Now if root user tries to change the password of a normal user, giving the same password, it is throwing an error saying "Password has been already used. Choose another".
Example:
> passwd user1
> password1 (set successfully)
> passwd user1
> password1 (Password has been already used. Choose another)
This should not happen with the root user.

Ubuntu Documentation > Ubuntu 9.04 > Ubuntu Server Guide > Security > User Management states that there is a default minimum password length for Ubuntu:
Say the password is to be modified by the user using passwd. Is there a command for displaying the current password policies for a user (such as the chage command displays the password expiration information for a specific user)?
This is rather than examining various places that control the policy and interpreting them since the process could contain errors. A command that reports the composed policy would be used to check the policy setting steps.

I recently got a computer donated to me for free from my Computer Science class, as the teacher couldn't figure out what the problem was that was preventing him from booting to the startup screen (all I could figure out was that the slot the memory card was in was bad, so I switched slots and got it working). The hard drive on the computer was wiped with a disk nuker called DBAN. Now I would like to install a Linux OS on the computer, but whatever disc or distro I try gives me similar "unable to read" errors. I would like to know if there's anything software-wise I need to do before attempting to replace any hardware. An example of the error I'm getting is as follows (using a mandriva livecd):
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 1281: /var/log/dmesy: Read-only file system
SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block 0xa6e58
SQUASHFS error: unable to read cache block [29b963ea:782]
SQUASHFS error: unable to read directory block [29b963ea:782]
Anyone know what I need to do to get this fixed so that I can install a Linux distro?

Is it possible / how can I? I have two directories "money" and "assets". I have two users, "jonn" and "jean". I "need" john and jean to share a login called "post". I want John and Jean to use this "post" login to be able to write a file to folders called "money" and "assets". I don't want them to be able to "read" files in either directory. I tried chmod 400 and that didn't work. They couldn't write a file to the directory.
What permissions can I give / assign so that they can write a file but they can't read any other files? Remember, there are different directories that they will "write" the files to.
No doubt you can change file and directory permissions on files such that when you upload a file via ftp, it uploads fine but isn't visible to the uploader.

I am unable to find other computers on my local network from my workstation.
Code:
nmap 192.168.0.*
shows me the workstation and the gateway(192.168.0.1)
My workstation has 2 interfaces: eth0 and eth1. both are checked in the "trusted interfaces" section of system-config-firewall. Network is currently connected to eth1. If I run the same nmap command from my laptop (also fedora), it outputs everything on the network but my workstation. The strange thing is that the workstation has functioning internet connection.

I have the following problem on fedora 12, x64 amd; I have installed fedora 12 from a live cd, whit custum partition tables (no lvm or somting like that). my sceam is (on a single 80 gb maxtor sata disk only 1 system, clean install):
/
/home
swap
Notitng more (not needed also). The installation was successfully. No problems on the install part. ALs no problems on the ugprade part. I installed the rest using yum groupinstall. When i want to add the extra 4 disks (all samsung 1 tb spinpoint sata) that i have for my backupdata, non of the partiotionprograms can recognise. If i do; moun /dev/sdb1/ /media/sdb1, it says that i need to add the file system. well, by some sort of misstake, i could find a workaround for this. When start gparted, select on of the samsung disks, select any of the flags in gpart, remove the flag and give it a ok, gpart can read the amount of data thats used. After that i ame able to mount whit a simple mount /dev/sbd1 /media/sdb1 command. When i use this command: hdparm -z /dev/sdb1, i can mount the disk afterwards, whitout problems. Of course, i need to add them als to my /etc/fstab file, so they automount each time at boot.........

I bought a RAVE car manual CD which wont read on either Linux or Windows, despite a 2nd one being sent. I have another RAVE CD which works fine on both systems. That is formatted to iso9660 but the latest ones are not.Are they not being formatted correctly, before being burnt or is there some other file system which should function nd if so how do I determine what FS is in use and ensure it's recognised?
