OpenSUSE :: PackageKit Authentication Fails Without Asking?
Aug 3, 2011
The first time PackageKit Update Applet ran, it asked me for the root passwordI accidentally pressed enter after making a typo, and ever since then Update Appletfails rror:Authorization failedYou have failed to provide correct authentication.Please check any passwords or account settings.Failed to obtain authentication. It never lets me input a new password. Two questions:1) Am I doing something wrong, or is this actually a bug? The possibility has been mentioned in other posts on the topic.2) Where does PackageKit store its files? I'll either change the password myself or delete the file where it's written, hopefully that will trigger PackageKit to ask again.
I wanted to install TeamViewer (for Linux). I downloaded the RPM, but when I double-clicked on it to start the installation I got the following error: The name org.freedesktop.PackageKit was not provided by any .service files I Googled around for possible solutions but I couldn't find any. Does anyone know how to fix this error and install TeamViewer? I'm using openSUSE 11.2 with GNOME desktop.
My question - how can I use Zypper to do the job of PackageKit ? That is, install security and recommended updates. If possible, I would like to then remove PackageKit. Do you see any problems ?
when i try to update to kde 4.6.0 (in opensuse 11.2) i notice that it need packagekit 0.6.3 (while it have 0.5.1) how do solve this problem? i use this repo: [URL]
Weird error on 11.1 x86_64 - I get it when I try to do autoupdate from the tray updater. I tried searching the forums for this error but didn't find. I tried rpm --rebuilddb as su, but that didn't fix. I start YaST and chose Software / Online Update and get: Accessing the Package Management Failed - the system management is locked by the application with pid 29603 (/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base). I tried killing the updater tray applet, but to no avail. TYAN2-Linux:/home/patti # ps -al

This is an 8-quad-core (32 total cores) tyan Opteron machine with 64 GB memory and has run flawlessly for the last year. Also, I'm using YaST/Proxy to reach the repos.
I always get messages like those below in my terminals, that obfuscate my typing.
How can I get rid of them (updated opensuse 11.2)?
I already reconfigured syslog to move PackageKit messags to a separate file (because the messages appeared in /var/log/messages too, and I hoped that was the source).
I'm ok with seeing severe error messages on the console, but not spam like PackageKit started..., stopped...
Message from syslogd@job5 at Mar 14 00:29:46 ... PackageKit: what-provides transaction /1130_cceaeeed_data from uid 1000 finished with success after 5203ms Message from syslogd@job5 at Mar 14 00:30:06 ... PackageKit: daemon quit
Code: DBus error : Unable to get transaction id from packagekit. Then it asked if i will start YaST and install the updates manual and i then took OK and this came up?
Code: DBus error : Unable to get transaction id from packagekit.
when i turn on my box (opensuse 11.4) i have the apper applet and packagekit trying to update packages, often times it 's not working for dependencies are missing or stuff like that, but this is impeding zypper to work at the same time ( PackageKit is blocking zypper. This happens if you have an updater applet or other software management application using PackageKit running.). Packagekit is busy thus can't be exited ...Is removing packagekit going to disturb zypper or not ?
I just installed 11.2 kde 64 bit and I get this error: DBus error : Unable to get transaction id from packagekit. How do I correct this?also: the other updates have been running for a hour and they're still running. is this normal?
I upgraded yesterday from Wheezy to Jessie and I don't have any wifi connexion now. The wifi card is working because I see neighbours networks around but WAP authentication fails. I did not change any authentication datas of course.
My first post here. I've been using Ubuntu to run our internal mail server for a while now on Ubuntu server 9.04 and ISPconfig 2. I've read a lot of threads on poeple that have difficulty connecting to their server using SSH from outside the LAN and it is not the same problem I have. Well, not entirely the same.
My problem is that my authentication fails from outside the LAn, but I can connect to the SSH port from outside my LAN. The other threads pointed towards checking the router port forwarding etc, but I can see my SSH log in asking for my username and password. So, at this stage I know the port forwarding worked, otherwise I wouldn't even see the log in prompt.
Has anyone see this before where you can connect, but the authentication fails? I can use the correct username and password from inside the LAN, but using the same credentials from outside fails.
One I cant figure out is a problem of authentication. I'm using open ldap server and try to authenticate a groupware (simple groupware) against it. As it fails, I tested with a ldap client to understand things better. Using GQ ldap client, I 'm able to browse my ldap tree successfully and to search some args from the base DN i specified. but when entering the exact uid as a search string iI got no answer whereas searching the cn returns the correct entry (and display its related entry including the uid I can't find ..) Here is the only thing I can trace in logs (syslog) when trying to seach firstname.lastname (= uid)
Getting "DBus error : Unable to get transaction id from packagekit." when trying to update. I can't update or install software through the package manager anymore. The yellow exclamation point won't go away on the toolbar.
I have a few PCs that are used by average joe's and whenever updates are available the update applet apears indicating there are updates. I usually update all these machines at the same time using zypper so in order to remove additional confusion how can I disable this? I've read in the forum how to stop it from starting up by going to Control Center | Startup Applications and unchecking Packagekit Update Applet. Is there a way to do this using the command line? I'm sure there is, after all this is Linux, I just need to know how. Reason being is I'll be ssh'ing into these machines to disable the update applet and don't want to touch all the machines and click my way to stop it at startup. Figure there has to be an easier way
I recently upgraded my video card from a GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8X to a GeForce FX 5500 AGP 8X. After that my 1360x768 monitor was stuck on a 1024x768 resolution. I ran system-config-display and under Hardware tab I changed the monitor setting from "Generic LCD Screen" to "1360x768 LCD Screen" with the acknowledgment that /etc/X11/xorg.conf file was been modified. After reboot the boot process stuck on:tarting kojid: Kerberos authentication failed. "Resource temporary unavailable" (11) [FAILED]I tried that with both 2.6.34.6-54 and 2.6.34.6-47 kernels available on my system.I use the latest KDE version available for Fedora.
I'm trying to connect to my Xubuntu box (zelda) remotely using my RSA key. I'm using Cygwin on my Windows box (link) to SSH in to the Xubuntu box. I've created the key and placed it in the authorized_keys file on my remote box. Here's where it gets weird. When I ssh into zelda the first time, it prompts me for my password. However, if I'm already connected to zelda and try to open another connection, it prompts me for my RSA passphrase. This is very confusing, and I have no idea what's going on.Here's my sshd_config file on zelda.
Code: # Package generated configuration file # See the sshd(8) manpage for details
I recently tried installing a new version of VirtualBox PUEL version, after uninstalling an earlier version. But the major issue I have now is that I can no longer modify my User Settings. Clicking on the "Autnenticate" icon gets me a failure notice: "System policy prevents modifying the system configuration", with details reading "Action: org.freedesktop.systemtoolsbackends.set". Hovering over this link says to click on the link to edit the file, but nothing happens. Searching the file system tells me this file does not exist. Prior to this episode with VirtualBox, I had no trouble modifying Users and Groups. I was able to remove a group from the command line, but the cannot get the GUI authorization to work. I have searched the forums and bugs for similar problems, and, although there appear to be a number of similar issues, no where can I find any clear information on how this system is supposed to work, or what I need to do to correct the problem.
Having trouble with the latest updates:PackageKit Error repo-not-available: Failed to download repodata/repomd.xml from http://packman.inode.at/suse/11.3/What repo is needed to correct problem?
I am following the way given in the website : [URL]... but after configuring when i am trying to connect to the site [URL]... Authentication Fails and I am not able to log in with my LDAP user "Manager" I am using openldap version 2.4.21
I installed freenx-0.7.3-i486-1alien.tgz on the server (with Slack 12.1), all according to instructions. I installed the no machine nxclient 3.4.0-7 on the client (with Slack 12.2). I ran setup and configured. I used the default no-machine keys, not custom ones. Since authentication failed at the beginning, I enabled DBauthentication, and added my user and password, which seemed to allow authentication to occur.
Here is my node.conf: # node.conf # # This file is provided by FreeNX. It should be placed either into # /etc/nxserver/node.conf (FreeNX style) or /usr/NX/etc/node.conf # (NoMachine NX style).....
when i tried to open my software management(repositories) in YaST i saw a pop up window it says PackageKit is still running(probably busy)Ask PackageKit to quite again.i can't quit that.i tried to quit it via system activity.Because of this i can't open software management(repositories).it is also not working.how to quit PackageKit?
I just upgraded my Ubuntu 8.04 server to 10.04 and now I cannot receive mail on my Ubuntu 10.04 Evolution client, although I can send mail. No errors appear in auth.log or mail.log when I attempt to log in from my Evolution client, in fact mail.log shows 'pop3d-ssl: connection' from my laptop IP, followed by 'pop3d: Disconnected' when the log-in attempts fail.
I'm able to ssh into the server using the same log-on and password as before the upgrade, however I haven't changed the public or private keys in my .ssh directory. I updated the ssl keys in /etc/postfix/ssl but wasn't able to receive mail before or after the update.
The error in the client reads: 'Unable to connect to POP server mail.mydomain.com, error sending username'
I ran this test and the output appears to be related:
Is the pop3 server not running TLS? /etc/postfix/main.cf says it should, and I get no errors restarting / reloading postfix.
I am receiving messages in /home/user/Maildir, but I cannot download them.
I checked for supported authentication types in my Evolution client - 'Password' is the only one supported, as was true before. The client is not using any certificates.
The output of openssl s_client -tls1 -connect 127.0.0.1:995 shows 'certificate has expired' on the 'Verify return code' entry, not sure if that's significant.
What's different about incoming versus outgoing mail authentication?
At home in Guangzhou, I have no problem connecting to a WPA-secured wireless router.Now I'm on vacation in another city trying to use a dLink DI-624 router. If I connect immediately after reboot, no problem. If I suspend the session and then wake the machine up again, it will try to connect and then tell me WPA authentication failed.This happens both with network manager and wicd.sysinfo says the network controller is an Atheros AR9285 (ethernet is Realtek RTL8101E/8102E, probably not relevant).Since everything works correctly with routers other than the dLink, I'd have to guess it's not a general wireless configuration problem, nor a wireless card malfunction. Maybe some bad handshaking that manifests only after waking from sleep?More out of curiosity -- I'll only be here for a few weeks and a wired connection is readily available. But, say I end up in a hotel somewhere that uses dLink for WiFi
I am attempting to set up an automatic transfer via sftp using public key authentication. I have created a public/private key pair to connect to the remote server without using a password. I have also been able to use this key pair to login from the command line: sftp -vvv -oPort=<server-side port> user@server.Debug info from interactive command:
Code: debug3: authmethod_is_enabled publickey debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
I'm running eeebuntu on a Toshiba Satellite R10, I installed the Netbook Remix Package which was apparently a horrible idea. I cant click properly. I tried to open synaptic package manager to uninstall it but it tells me my password is wrong, which i know it is not. Is there anyway to fix this, i can open terminal.
Today I installed suse 11.1 on my computer. After some time i was able to connect to the internet and the auto update program prompted for updates. after the updates were installed more updates were prompted. but now i get an error when i try to install them. edit: the error is "PackageKit Error internal-error: Installation aborted by user " if i try it manually i get an message "access denied to ......" how can i make my system update normal?
