I have installed Rubrica 2.0-1.1 via the Synaptic Package Manager. I am using Ubuntu 9.10.
For some reason the groups do not seem to work at all. I add a group and some weird characters show up in the groups window. When I assign a group to a person it saves the info in the xml file but the groups window is still empty and doesn't show any groups?
I've compiled the latest version of shadow (without PAM and selinux support), but I can't create new users or groups. I don't even get a error.
It's just like:
bash-4.1# useradd -d DIR -u NUMBER USER
bash-4.1#
but if i take a look at the /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow file there's no entry.
I recently was able to network 2 computers at home and I wanted to make my password more secure. When I try to edit my password via System>Administration>Users and Groups, it doesn't workI am able to edit my user settings. When I change my password I enter my old one and it accepts my new one. Problem is when I try to install programs, login and do other things it only accepts my old password. How can I change my password?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI already know of a work around to fix this problem, but I guess my question is why is this not working as expected? I am using a Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory for authentication.
I have run auth-client-config for the ldap profile and pam-auth-update. When running getent passwd, I get a list of both the local users and the users in the active directory (with populated information in the Unix schema extension). When running getent group I get a list of both the local groups and the groups in the active directory (with populated information in the Unix schema extension).
Interestingly enough, though, when I run su DOMAINUSER, after the prompt for the password I get an authentication error. In /var/log/auth.log I can see an entry with pam_ldap: missing "host" in file "/etc/ldap.conf". The SRV records in the DNS servers resolve correctly. I've checked this with nslookup and I have seen the records within my zone file. Obviously if the ldap.conf file is working with getent and the ldap server is resolving from the SRV records, it is working fine.
The interesting part is that the Windows Server 2008 R2 AD machine shows in the event viewer that there was a successful authentication, yet the Ubuntu box says no. When I add the host within the ldap.conf file, everything works...getent and the actual authentication, either initial login or su.

I am currently trying to set up a Samba domain server. In the Samba-HOWTO-Collection I found an
example file.(Point 3.3.3.1) In the explanations of the example below, the author says I need to map UNIX Groups to NT Groups. He writes a shell-script of how one could do it, but when I copy it and then execute it, I get the error:
Bad option: rid=512
Bad option: rid=513
Bad option: rid=514
The other groups do get mapped, just the Domain Admins, Domain Users and Domain Guests dont. This is the shell from the HOWTO:
#!/bin/bash
#### Shell-Skript f ̈r sp ̈tere Verwendung aufbewahren
net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=ntadmins rid=512
net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Users" unixgroup=users rid=513
net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Guests" unixgroup=nobody rid=514

So i am at the stage of about to install the basic system and am using a derivation of the package management provided by Matthias S. Benkmann. To this end I am using his useradd and groupadd scripts to update the files:
/etc/passwd
/etc/group
My issue is that when I run the commands(created as part of temporary system when installing coreutils):
Code:
/tools/bin/su linux
#then as user
/tools/bin/groups
(here linux is the name of the user) This only returns the user being in the group named after user but not the additional group of 'install' Also, prior to logging in as user, if I use this command as root:
Code:
/tools/bin/groups linux
linux install This then returns that the user is in the correct groups. Lines from relevant files look like:
Code:
#/etc/passwd
linux:x:10000:10000::/usr/src/build:/bin/bash
#/etc/group

Can anyone suggest a way to restoring functionality?

The problem started however when I installed Skype which uses pulseaudio. As soon as I start skype (or any other application that uses pulse, HoN for example) the applications sound output or input does not work at all. If I have pulseaudio started in some way, applications that I suppose do not use it like spotify or flash player stops to produce sounds. And when I type "pulseaudio" in the terminal it gives me this:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble getting compiz to work on my Laptop. It worked for a while and then I turned on Shift Switcher and a message popped up saying..."The new value for the button binding for the action Terminate in plugin Shift Switcher conflicts with the action Zoom Window of the Scale Addons plugin. Do you wish to disable Zoom Window in the Scale Addons plugin?" I was given the option of Set Terminate anyway, Don't set Terminate, and Disable Zoom Window. I clicked Don't set Terminate and ever since the only thing that works in compiz are the bindings in the general options. I've used synaptic to completely remove and then reinstall compiz but the problem persist. Something else weird, all of the changes I made are still there, even after complete removal, but they don't work?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI just recently (about an hour ago) installed Ubuntu Netbook edition on my old laptop, and I was greeted with the message, that unity could not be run due to some sort of missing driver...fair enough, I was then greeted with the default Ubuntu desktop, I installed all my needed software (wine, google chrome) and installed the missing display drivers. I then rebooted the system, and once again I am stuck with the default desktop, and not the Unity interface. I checked the software center, and it says Unity IS in fact installed.. And yet I cannot make it appear. So now I ask you Ubuntu veterans. How do I make it work?

I just wanted to post here to let anyone know how to fix a broken Mic in 10.04. I have an XPS m1530 and was running RC and updating. This was a big problem since I use Skype a lot to talk to freinds and family out of country.I fixed it by removing and re-installing Alsa but this may not be a problem for people installing from the final release ISO.here are the commands you need to run
Code:
sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
sudo apt-get install gdm ubuntu-desktop
My atl gr key often doesnt work. Since I have an azerty lay-out, I often need this key (fi for typing @).

It is installed PulseAudio and Pavucontrol, I have checked if the audio was muted, but the sound volume is set to 100%, I don't know what to do anymore... I have a computer with a realtek codec too, but it's another model ALC665 or something like that, and the system is equipped with an ATI HD 5450 with HDMI Audio, I have checked the what modules the Debian is using, and both uses the snd_hda_intel, but the sound works with HDMI and Realtek Codec.

not brag or compare linuxdcpp "just works" in all ubuntu versions from 10.04 through 11.04.honestly this is really annoying i can't easily share files with friends .... ( i had to use dropbox for this!just because i chose a true free gnu/linux ..
Skype does not work in Suse 11.3. When i start in an terminal, i'm getting this error:

PS. Running Smeegol on Samsung N150
As stated, NO USB functions, not at all, the light on the mouse is on, but it does not move on screen, the PS2 keyboard does not function either. Nothing that would allow you to install it, works at all. I am absolutely shocked not one single person on here has mentioned this.
The last time I tried OpenSuse was version 10, it installed without issue, I noted the installer as the nicest one in the Linux world I had seen to date, only to be utterly let down by this USB fumble.I have Legacy USB support, Legacy Keyboard and Legacy Mouse USB support on, that isn't the issue, and this didn't happen with 10 on the same system.
ssh works fine on root but when i log into my other account, the ssh doesn't work, it just times out when i putty it. I used this to try and start it from terminal in my reg acc, and then as the su.
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
After that didn't work i did this
sudo apt-get remove openssh-server
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
and still nothing. I have no clue why it only works on root and no other accounts.
