OpenSUSE :: 11.4 - Searching For Useful Password Manager
Mar 27, 2011
I am searching for a usefull PasswordManager for Opensuse 11.4. All I found till here are Apps that wont run. I found:
Password Gorilla (wont run)
KeePassX (I am not even able to install)
Password Dragon (is a Java App, that is just launchable via Terminal and I dont know how secure it is).
I've tried Ubuntu, Arch, and most recently Fedora but the SUSE GNOME environment blows everything else away!
The only problem (so far) is that Network Manager requires you to enter your password every time you login to unlock the password keyring. I want to disable this.
I think some distros disable the prompt by using the login password to unlock the keyring, but I use auto-login (if that makes a difference).
When I login to my laptop, there's a dialog that asks me for a password. When I fill that in, it allows the network manager to access my wifi password and connect to the wifi.How can I change the password that network manager is asking for? It's kinda awkward to ask this question - I am not asking how to change my wifi password, but the password that comes up - Seahorse? I'm not sure what's used on Lubuntu.
I am getting trouble with knetwork manager. I created a new connection by scanning and connecting using knetwork manager. But every time connection gets disconnected and ask for password and again it connects.
hello i am trying to change my password, but when i type in the new password i get this:"The password is longer than 8 characters. On some systems, this can cause problems. You can truncate the password to 8 characters, or leave it as it is."my question is what kind of problem could i get and how can i change so i have to log in every time i start the computer?
after about 30 min of trying to get the cinepaint-0.22-1.tar.gz to build on 11.3 64 bit i figured i would do some searching took about 15 min but new suse users won't have to figure out the posting in the suse forum archive ( 2007) Up-to-date Rpm For Cinepaint?
there IS a cinepaint for 11.3 add the repo Index of /repositories/home:/bekun/openSUSE_11.3 into yast / Software Repositories
I've been trying on new installation for opensuse 11.3 on Intel P55 raid5 configured system, one non-raid disk for boot device, a raid5 array as data device. However, installation always gets hung on Searching Linux partition step and I was able to see the vgscan process was the last command to run. Is it a known bug? Does anyone have the same issue as mine?
Does anybody want to recommend a CLI password manager? All the ones I've found are in questionable maintenance or don't have a track record for me to look at.
just begin with linux last week .... But my teacher ask me to use revelation 4 controlling password ... I installed it from their homepage,but i don't find useful from it.I can creat name,password ... just look it ) I wonder that : can i use it to manage user,password in firefox or thumpbird or other service ?

I just checked for updates using update manager. It found some (49) updates recommended/required, but when I clicked 'update', it started and completed the update w/o asking for sudo password.
After forgetting my general password/password lost by Ubuntu (uses @...) I use the Psychocats lost password guide: [url]
This allowed me to reset my password but now after login the Network Manager applet pops up and demands a password.
This password is the original password that has now been changed. Putting this original password works.
I've now changed my password back to the original one to avoid the Network Manager prompt but I can't find where to change the Network Manager password or tell it to use my general password.
If I change my general password Network Manager asks for the old one.
I recently set up an Ubuntu computer for a friend who is new to Ubuntu and who is complaining that very often, Ubuntu's Update Manager pops up and asks for password to install updates. How could we make the Update Manager install updates quietly in the background without interrupting and asking for password? Maybe this should even be set as default in forthcoming versions of Ubuntu!

I work on a product that have to start automatically an application. Running Opensuse 11.2 So in the inittab I have : 1:2345:once:/root/Velox/VeloxBoot.sh 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
In the VeloxBoot.sh, if I don't press any key, my application starts after a timeout. If the user presses a key I want to have a login prompt. Unfortunately, if I start /bin/login, I have a prompt with login, but once I enter my login, it does not ask for a password and it says wrong password
I have setup my laptop to connect to a VPN server running openvpn.
This works fine if I from the client, start OpenVPN from the terminal. /etc/init.d/openvpn start
It then asks for a password for the certificate, which is should.
I have then installed the OpenVPN option for the Gnome network manager (network-manager-openvpn), so I could use the nm-applet for this, instead.
But it seems to be that there is a little bug, so I does not prompt me for the certificate password, OR use the password this is actually set for the certificate. (kinda irritating)
I get the following error on on the client.
nm-openvpn[2936]: ERROR: could not read Private Key username/password/ok/string from management interface
It seems like an very old bug, I tried the following without any luck (Yes I noticed it was for Ubuntu). [url]
Booted up my laptop with wireless disabled (using the little switch on the laptop). I flipped the switch, network manager showed all the wireless networks, but didn't connect to any. So I picked mine, and it asked for the WPA key. Now normally (if I had booted with wireless enabled) it would connect without asking for the WPA key. So I rebooted again with wireless enabled this time, and same deal. It seems that it's just forgotten the key altogether.
I put in the key and it's all back to normal, but I'd like to know where/how network manager is storing the WPA key, and why it forgot it.
I'm using 9.10 most recent updates. I want to connect to a wireless network and get a dialog box offering "WPA & WPA2 personal" as the only choice. The passphrase I was given is 6 letters but the "Connect" button does not light up until I get to 8 when entering wpa/wpa2.
Do I need to convert the passphrase somehow?

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 i386 and I installed the unity desktop by using sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. However when I try to open the synaptic package manager it won't recognize my password. It just keeps asking me for the administrator password. I can open update manager which also needs the admin password. This is a fresh install all I have done is installed the ubuntu desktop. I am currently trying to install KDE desktop to see if it works on there. I also have had this problem on my laptop which runs 11.04 x64 desktop edition. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me? and is there a fix? also what is the terminal command to launch the packet manager? edit. It started working on my laptop a week or so ago after I did updates. So I'm not sure if the server version of unity or the packet manager is just behind? I have run the update manager on my server and it says its uptodate.
I have setup a nis server and client. At first I didn't have a local user defined on the client. The client then used the user and passwords from NIS, so that was ok.
The problem then is, that when the server is down, I couldn't login to my client anymore. So I created a local user with the same name on the client but with a different password (after I shut the nis server down, if nis server was on, I couldn't create a local user with the same name). I then edited etc/nssswitch.conf as follows:
Code: # (like no NIS server responding) then the search continues with the # next entry. # # Legal entries are: # # compat Use compatibility setup
[Code].....
If NIS server is on: client has to login with the nis password If NIS server is down: client has to login with the local password (as fallback)
However the actual behaviour is that I can only login with the local password now. The NIS pasword doesn't seem to be used anymore.
I would like to install Password Gorilla but I cannot find it in the package manager, is it available in F12? It may be that I need to install another repository but I do not know which one, as far as I'm aware I have all of the 'standard' ones.
I routinely use somewhat spotty wireless hotspots, and Network Manager is driving me insane. Whenever there's a momentary drop, NM will prompt me for my password. I enter it, and it connects perfectly. And then 5 minutes later, it'll prompt me again. How do you instruct NM to remember a password, and stop prompting?
I use gnome password manager. It stores encrypted passwords in the ~/.gpass directory.I have 2 users, johnny, and audio. My default gpass setup is at /home/johnny/.gpass I've created a group called gpassusers and added johnny and audio. I chgrp'd /home/johnny/.gpass to gpassusers. I chmod'd /home/johnny/.gpass 770 (to give group access) I then created a symlink as follows
Code:
ln -s /home/johnny/.gpass /home/audio/.gpass
when I try to cd into /home/audio/.gpass I get
Code:
audio@picard:~$ cd .gpass bash: cd: .gpass: Permission denied
for sanity's sake, here's the ls of johnny's home directory
Code:
drwxrwx--- 2 johnny gpassusers 4096 2010-05-17 19:34 .gpass
I have tomcat 5.x installed and is running on port 80(with mod_jk setup). The directories 'manager', 'examples' and 'ROOT' were removed under /usr/share/tomcat/webapps/ and rebuilt them copying from a working tomcat server. When I acces [URL] (or) [URL], it keeps on prompting for the password even after enter correct username and password.
just setup ubuntu server 10.10 on my new home server, installing usual stuff ect and came to install TCL, however had a couple of errors and done a bit of digging, come across a thread here that told me i needed to enable the 'repositories' packets in my packet manager, then went to open the packet manager and its doesn't recognize my password, although i can use sudo just fine.
One of my machines running 10.04 recently began requiring the root password in order to carry out privileged operations in update-manager. I found this bug in launchpad. It's similar, but related to 10.10. If I create a root password, then I can use it to carry out privileged operations in update-manager, but I prefer not to add a root password just for this purpose.
we're using Network Manager with vpnc plugin (cisco vpn).According to our IT policy, we'd like to prevent the users from saving the password.I've been trying to set the value via gconf as mandatory, but the setting is blatantly ignored:system/networking/connections/1/vpn/ipsec-secret-type...I set it on "ask" and mandatory.I'm quite sure that's the wrong key.
