My Question is I have installed the ssh key authentication in Server A. User can connect this using key file via SSH. without authentication user can't connect this system via SSH. Now I am trying to copy the file from Server B through SCP command. But it is not working.

SSH is enabled in both server A,B.
why SCP command is not working?
I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 to a live USB stick and created a new user with an encrypted home directory.Everything is working fine apart from a weird problem.when I create a new file or directory in the encrypted home it does not show up in directory listing.eg:cd ~/Documentstouch test.txtls -aldrwxr-xr-x 2 USER USER 4096 2011-03-02 14:12 .drwx------ 32 USER USER 8192 2011-03-02 13:03 ..if I try editing the file by entering the path, it works, even though ls does not list it!eg: nano ./testls as root makes no difference and the file is not hidden.If I create a file in nautilus, it shows there but still does not show in the terminal or any other app

I installed Kubuntu 9.10 this morning and haven't been able to get my wireless working properly. I can connect to my network (WEP 128bit key) and acquire an IP address without any problems. But as soon as it connects it stops talking to the router (about 4 pings after it connects). The pings then change from a reply to saying "Destination host unreachable", even though it works fine on the Windows box I'm sending this from.

I'm trying to start the fluidsynth MIDI program, and it's asking me to run 'usermod -a -G audio username' to configure it correctly. However, when I try that, it says:
Code:
usermod: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later.
I've rebooted multiple times, and it still persists. Is there a way to fix this or achieve this another way?
I was planning on getting the USB to work in my 3.2.4 Oracle virtual box, and I found a post that says you have to be a part of vboxusers. I ran > sudo usermod -G vboxusers alias and then id to see that I was a part of the vboxusers group. After I installed an update which required restart. That is right! I am no longer in the /etc/sudoers file!!!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed Intrepid on my netbook a few months ago, and since I'm the only one who uses it I decided to set it to log me in automatically. Unfortunately, I recently realized that for whatever reason, even if I disable screen lock in configuration editor, it still wants my password (which I can't remember for the life of me). To solve this problem, i ranCode:sudo usermod acidicninja --password <new password>Two problems: the new password doesn't log me in, and my root password no longer unlocks root! I'm in deep trouble... is there any way to reset the root password without reinstalling?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Lenovo W500 ThinkPad. It is running XP on first partition, then Ubuntu. I've tried both 10.10, 11.04 beta 2, and now 11.04 release.With the release I just installed, it seemed OK till reboot-after-install, at which point nothing came up. I rebooted several times and just got errors and kernel panics in the ATI video driver. I also saw a lot of these messages:"udevd[80]: worker [XXX] did not accept message -1 (Connection refused), kill it" URL...
I had download updates on, I'm trying again with a clean install without updates. (Although, I said don't download while installing, and it says it is downloading language packs...?)Now, I also had issues with 10.10, where it would intermittently boot and fail to get video, I'd just be at a tty, and have to reboot and try again. I found it usually got video if I had just booted Windows (XP Pro SP3) beforehand, and not otherwise So what's going on there? Something up with the actual video card? I want to run Gnome anyways, is there a way I can specify that during the install?At any rate, if I can't get 11.04 working properly, I'll have to run 10.10, which I didn't want to do. I'm starting from scratch and wish to start from 11.04 if at all possible.
So yesterday I upgraded to 11.04 from 10.10 and now when I enter Ubuntu only my background image appears. No files, programs, or anything. It worked right after it rebooted to finish the upgrade but when I turned my computer on this morning I got nothing but background.

Ive set a password for root after rebooting tried to su in console and authentication error. however sudo works fine but if your like me using sudo all the time starts getting annoying and at times i find myself apt-getting alot of packages so su is best for me my other 9.10 works fine which i installed from a canoical cd i went through my normal routine of changing my default user permissions.
e.g(add default to everygroup, and set a root password) so after the first time it wouldn't work i remembered that on my other 9.10 i changed the groups that root was in so i did the same thing i did with my default user. well it still doesn't work but i read somewhere that its possible to change it in the console.
I have a website that I need to go to often and disable a monitor. To disable I need to login to the website-> click on monitor -> then uncheck a box.
I am told that I can do this through a scipt using the WGET command. I got the parameterized query and then tried to execute it through a *.sh script.
The script generates a php file in the location from where it is executed. When I go to the site and check the monitor is not disabled.
