Red Hat / Fedora :: F12 Login Not Working

Apr 27, 2010

I have a Fedora 12 server that I've been using as a server for the past few months. Everything has been going ok. I built it to be used as a home theater PC as well as a proxy server (for when I need to use public wifi) and file server for my home network, nothing too complicated. I wanted to watch some stuff on the server, and needed to change the graphics to the nvidia proprietary driver. I did it just as I've done it on my desktop and laptop, by adding "rdblacklist=nouveau" to the end of the kernel line in grub, rebooting, and installing the kmod-nvidia from rpmfusion's yum repo. When I did so, it updated my kernel to the latest version, along with some other stuff that I didn't pay much attention to.

Before I rebooted, I changed my default runlevel to 3. When it came back, I couldn't login. None of my userIDs (to include root) were working. I rebooted into single user mode, and tried to reset my passwords ...... no userIDs were recognized, not even root. I checked /etc/passwd, shadow, group, gshadow, nsswitch.conf, all files were there, all had proper permissions (as far as I know) and all seemed intact and contained what they should. None of my pam files look like they were mangled, but it is just not recognizing userIDs. Even when I boot up regularly into level 3, processes like SSH say "error, unrecognized user ssh" or something like that.I've checked everything I could think of, nothing makes sense to me. I was going to try to run yum update, hoping that updating everything would fix it, but I can't get the network working in single user mode, and I can't login on anything highger. I tried attaching the hard drive (it's external) to my desktop, chrooting, and running yum update, but my server is running i686, my desktop is running x86_64. When I tried updating, it tried to install a slew of 64 bit rpms.

Fedora Security :: SSH Key Based Login Not Working On F11

Jul 20, 2009

I'm migrating my file server from Fedora 9 to Fedora 11 (clean install), and I'm having a horrendous time trying to get key based SSH logins working. I've set it up before, and I can't figure out why it won't work now. I copied my public key into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 and set the folder permissions for 700 and the file permissions for 600. Then I restarted sshd. Now unless I remember wrong I thought that's all you have to do. It didn't work. So I rebooted just for good measure. Still didn't work. So I made sure that my client was still sane. I can log into my OpenBSD machine just fine. I compared the sshd_config from OpenBSD to the Fedora one, and the options seem pretty close.

At that point I had nothing to lose and just started messing with the Fedora sshd_config. I also noticed in the config that the commented AuthorizedKeys file had dropped the 2 off the end, so I tried changing that as well. Still nothing. Password based logins work, but I really don't want to go that route. Now I can only think of two possibilities. One, some sshd_config setting is wrong and I don't know what it is. Two, there's some package that's required for key based logins that I accidentally unchecked during the install process. That's about all I can come up with. Here's my sshd_config, I tried to just set everything back to default.

Code:
#Port 22
#AddressFamily any
#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
#ListenAddress ::

# Disable legacy (protocol version 1) support in the server for new
# installations. In future the default will change to require explicit
# activation of protocol 1
Protocol 2 .....

Red Hat / Fedora :: RHEL6 Login Banner With Cancel Button Not Working

Jan 25, 2011

Having a little issue with creating a login message banner in RHEL6 that uses two buttons. One for Accept which logs the user in. The second for Cancel which immediately logs the user out. I've modified the /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default file to have the script, posted below, and it worked perfectly fine in RHEL5. But in 6, when you click Cancel, the user is still able to log in. It even states in the system logs that the user cancelled the login.As you can see, I have the script using the 9th field of the user's env to get the PID, and using the kill command to end the process, which should be logging the user out right away if they click the Cancel button. This works in 5 without issue (though I used -f5 in RHEL5, had to move it to -f9 for RHEL6).

Fedora :: Can't Login Into The Root Account: It Returns Me Immediately To The Login Prompt?

Jan 27, 2010

I just installed Fedora 12 on a laptop. I changed the default shell on the root account to /bin/tcsh and changed the runlevel to 3 and then rebooted. Now I can't login into the root account: it returns me immediately to the login prompt and I can't see any error message (the screen is cleared).Why is this happening?Can I boot into some sort of safe mode so I can undo my changes to the /etc/inittab and /etc/passwd file?I tried booting with a Live CD with the intention of mounting the filesystem and making the changes, but the new filesystem is a LVM and it won't let me mount it (or I don't know how to mount a Logical Volume).

Fedora :: FC9: Forgot - Partition Doesn't Work - Can't Login At The LUKS Login After Grub Starts

Feb 15, 2010

My computer was working this morning and both hard drives were working fine, then all of a sudden for about two hours I was stuck with this "problem", then after fumbling and moving and stablizing things, then Windows works? See below for details. I've finally reinstalled both hard drives, but the one with the Linux partition doesn't work: it says nothing is discovered on the disk. I can't login at the LUKS login after grub starts, therefore I can't get into Linux, but Windows works?! I used to be able to go directly into Grub when the computer starts, I forgot how to do that but it doesn't matter. If you need details I'd be glad to provide them. I just wondered why Linux doesn't work, but Windows does. I have Linux & Windows on two different separate hard drives

Fedora :: Shows Login Seems To Be Right - But It Doesn't Login Normally ?

Nov 21, 2010

I just added "export PATH=.:'printevn PATH'" to ~/.bashrc, then i can't use any commands, like "vim" or 'ls', it shows 'command not found'.

I cound't figure it out why. Then I logged out and tried to login. Another more serious problem occurred. after I type in login id and pass, it shows login seems to be right, but it doesn't login normally, but immediately bring me back to the login dialog box, and ask me to type log info again. I tried many times, it just constantly brought me back to the login page.

OpenSUSE Install :: KDM Login To KDE Not Working In 11.4

May 27, 2011

I have a newly installed openSUSE 11.4 (several reinstalls actually) which will not login to KDE (Plasma Desktop) from the KDM menu. When trying, the background image of KDM flickers a bit and I can see a hint of the bottom panel contours before it disappears again and only the KDM background image is shown. I have the right click menu working and also I can see started applications when alt+tabbing as white squares on the screen but no plasma desktop appears. It's as if the KDM background image blocks the desktop behind it.

If I switch to a console and init 3, log in as root and then run startx...the KDE Plasma Desktop loads and works brilliantly, but I cannot do this as a non root user.Logging in to IceVM from KDM works as a normal user.I figured this could be some kind of permissions issue so I tried creating a new user but I had no luck with that either. Does someone have any tips on how to solve this problem or a way to troubleshoot it?

General :: User Login Not Working

Aug 9, 2010

Talk about being thrown in at the deep end! I am not used to linux systems but I have inherited a linux based internet setup that I need to take care of.Two machines (both have centOS 5) are networked and one is accessing the /home directory so people can log onto their personal home folder.The log in screen on the second machine usually just requires the individual to input their username and password and it automatically accesses their folder on the other machine.At the moment it doesnt and comes back with an error saying that the session lasted less than 10 seconds. Looking at the error message it is saying that the profile was not found and couldnt create per-user gnome configuration directory.

I am able to log in to the local root user on the machine and I can see the networked drive and even access the home directory.looking thru the network setting I see that the other machine seems to be acting as a samba server?? and is connected with SFTP?Any idea how to fix this problem as I have a load of guys sharing 1 PC for internet access in the middle of the atlantic Ocean on a ship!

OpenSUSE :: Login Sound / Libcanberra Not Working

Mar 31, 2011

In case you don't already know, I'm running 11.4 x64 with GNOME. I had a realization recently that my computer doesn't make any login or logoff sounds. After some investigation, I've found there are two problems:

1) The command for the login sound defaults to a sound that doesn't exist; the id is "desktop- login", but no desktop-login.oga exists in /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo. There does exist service-login.oga, however.

2) Even with explicitly setting the path on canberra-gtk-play, no sound plays. The command hangs for a couple seconds and produces no errors, suggesting that it does find the sound, but nothing comes out of the speakers.

I'm not terribly desperate to get login sounds working, but I am confused about why this wouldn't work out of the box.

OpenSUSE Install :: KDM (Login) Not Working Correctly

Jul 10, 2011

I recently installed SuSE 11.4 (kernel 2.6.37.6-0) and it all works very nicely EXCEPT for the KDM login. I am using kde 4.6.0 and have the latest updates for 11.4 installed and at install time, I left the automatic Login box checked which works ok. However, when I go to the 'Personal Settings - configure desktop' and change the Login - convenience' to UNcheck the Auto login box, it does not change the Login action - I stlll login (without a login name and password screen appearing). I have looked at the file - /usr/share/kde/config and the kdmrc file does change to read 'autologin' true (or false) when I make the changes in the configure desktop GUI, but this has no effect on my actual ability to 'login' automatically all the time!

Ubuntu :: Keyboard / Mouse Not Working At Login

I have an Acer 5102 WLMi laptop from 2005 with Ubuntu 9.10 installed. It has worked fine for years but now when I boot up my mouse and keyboard don't respond leaving me stuck at the login screen. I have tried using a USB mouse without sucess. My USB-powered cooling fan still works in all three USB ports fine. I have tried booting into the LiveCD and got the same results except for the CD auto-logging in. Eht0 still auto-connects to the network fine in the LiveCD. I can't find any wrong except for the keyboard and mouse not responding. My next step is to burn a LiveCD with start-up scripts to enable ssh. Also the touch-pad doesn't respond either

There is this one server running CentOS5.4 Final which has certain application like Bugzilla. I have setup ssh on it and setup is for password less authentication. Have also setup PasswordAuthentication to no. So with password authentication should succeed. But it is. Though password less authentication is working fine, but I am also able to login using password.

Server :: SSH: Automated Login Via Public Key Not Working?

Aug 17, 2009

Run a script on ServerA which uses a ssh-connection to ServerB to execute a few commands on ServerB. As ServerB only allows login with username+password the whole stuff gets more complex. SSH provides key authentication enabling passwordless login as you probably know. So as stated in many tutorials I did the following:

Quote:

ssh-keygen -t dsa
ssh-copy-id .ssh/id_dsa.pub osr@10.17.120.207

Trying to connect with

ssh osr@10.17.120.207

should now be passwordless but I'm somehow still getting the prompt for the password.here the output from ssh -vvv osr@10.17.120.207

Quote:

OpenSSH_4.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Applying options for *

[code]....

interesting are probably the following lines:

Quote:

debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /users/osr/.ssh/id_dsa.
debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----BEGIN'

Debian :: Login Via SSH - Bash Autocomplete Stopped Working

Feb 3, 2011

For some reason my bash autocomplete stopped working. I get the error when I try to cd into a directory, pressing <tab> for autocomplete:
cd A-sh: <( compgen -d -- 'A' ): No such file or directory
Autocomplete works for the root user and for the other user on the machine, just not logged in as this user. The .bashrc file looks fine to me, and I didn't make any changes to it to even cause the bash autocomplete to stop working (as far as I know).

# enable programmable completion features (you don't need to enable
# this, if it's already enabled in /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile
# sources /etc/bash.bashrc).
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /etc/bash_completion
fi
What else could cause autcomplete to stop working? I log in via ssh, btw.
