Software :: Nxserver Status Returns Authentication Failed
Dec 31, 2010
Using nomachine trying to setup an nxserver. Installed nx per these instructions. Checking the status looks like this.
Quote:
cynthia@cynthia:~$ sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --status
NX> 900 Connecting to server ...
NX> 204 Authentication to NX server failed.
NX> 110 NX Server is stopped.
NX> 999 Bye.
I'm a noobie with nomachine and have no idea why the authentication is failing so I'm open to any suggestions. I've tried stopping and restarting both ssh and nxserver and I've tried regenerating keys. I can ssh to the host but nxserver doesn't work.

If your machine is connected to the Internet, you'll probably want to disallow ssh password authentication (which is advised but not mandatory). Edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and change/add the following lines:
PasswordAuthentication no
AllowUsers nx
Don't forget to restart the sshd daemon after making that change: service sshd restart I already have PasswordAuthentication yes in my file as I need it to login to the server through ssh. Do I just skip that line and only add AllowUsers nx mynxuser at the end? Also, I followed the rest of the manual and when I tried the client on Windows it failed: I put in a user and password to login but shouldn't it be using the key instead? I think the problem is related to the above due to:
Quote:
NX> 203 NXSSH running with pid: 1428
NX> 285 Enabling check on switch command
NX> 285 Enabling skip of SSH config files
[code]...

If I am running a script, let's say a install script. Is there a way to make Su repeat authentication rather then just returning "Authentication failed" and continuing the script?

went through the tutorial on FedoraSolved for securing ssh. I installed denyhosts with yum and then tried to run it with the command line command"sudo /etc/init.d/denyhosts start" but I got the message"Job Failed. See system logs and 'systemctl status' for details [FAILED]"and in the application "services" in the applications menu,t shows an exclamation warning and says that "This unit has failed"

I've been using Ubuntu since 6.04, not a linux guru by any means but can usually get myself out of trouble.
So, the issue... I installed 8.04 on my mother's laptop some time back as she was having trouble keeping Win 2000 running (she has a low spec no-name generic laptop btw). I live in Autsralia and she in England, i thought i could better support her if she was running Ubuntu... All has been well with 8.04 but with the new LTS release (10.04) i thought i'd talk her through the upgrade... Did the online upgrade via Update Manager, all seemed to go OK but when she went to log on after restart she got an error saying 'authentication failed' even though we are 100% sure we have the user name and password correct... Tried to do a ctrl+alt+F1 to by pass the GUI log on but couldn't get the terminal session to open up, just got a black screen - no command prompt.
So... thought OK re-install... downloaded the ISO, burned and sent her a CD in the post... talked her through the re-install, all seemed to go well (again) - BUT, after restart, couldn't log in "authentication failed" again...
So, remember i'm trying to talk a novice through all this... any thoughts!?!
If i can get her to log in i can then support her via some kind of remote sesion or other screen share... and it wont cost me a small fortune in international calls!!! But if i can't get a log in, i'm dead in the water!?

Crashed System left at root @ maintenance shell. Below is the sequence after boot, with Exact Errors. How to Salvage important files from my crashed laptop hardware.
A) Via a Transfer to a USB stick in Terminal, would be ok
B) Via SSH through the router from the good laptop that is Preferably using Nautilus / GUI, Terminal also ok (less confident of my skill here)
C) Directly Fixing Laptop and being ably to use Nautilus / GUI to Copy Files to USB stick, localy
The result of some effort:
A) the USB stick is good but Can't get in to it from the crashed laptop
B) SSH: No luck I get: "Cannot display location "sftp://192.168.1.101/"" from the good Machine
C) at a lose here...
The Crashed Laptop is:
Ubuntu: 9.10
Linux: 2.6.31-22-generic
Gnome: 2.28.1
CPU: Intel Atom N280 @ 2GHz
NO: CD / DVD Drive
(USB Boot maybe possible? Have not made a Bootable Ubuntu USB Yet)
BOOT:
GNU GRUB Version 1.97~
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-22-generic
etc / (& recovery mode)
Mini Ubuntu logo or splash screen
File-system checks are in progress sticks every time at 4%
init: mountall main process (418) terminated with status 3
#(it seem to count up every time I re try to boot ? (init: mountall main process (423)(429)(etc)
Mount of filesystem Failed.
A maintenance shell will now be started.
CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and re-try
root@Bi-Ji-Ben:~#
I can navigate around but cant get the GUI up
root@Bi-Ji-Ben:~# nautilus
could not Parse arguments: Cannot open display:
A good USB stick reads & writes in another laptop running Ubuntu 9.10. When I connect the USB to the Crashed Machine it starts with:
"assuming drive cashe: write through", and hangs on this tell I press: "Ctrl+C"
In the crashed machine I can't seem to get into the USB anywhere that I think it should show up and trying to "mkdri" got me:
"Read only file system".

I wanted to install it on a secondary computer in my house for web browsing and little-to-nothing more.
How can I fix or get around the error 'Authentication failed' when attempting to login?
I just installed openSUSE. The installation seemed to go well. After installation, everything loaded up and I was using the OS with no problems.
I restarted the computer to change my boot sequence in the BIOS. Then I got to the openSUSE login screen. I was presented with three options:
1. my username - When I enter in the password I specified during the OS installation it says "Authentication failure"
2. Automatic Login - just says "Permission denied"
3. Other... - Nothing seems to work here
How can I login?

I just finished following the instructions found here to install FreeNX on my ubuntu 10.04 server. It went smoothly, just used the default keys.Once I had that all set up I scrolled down and followed the instructions to set up the client and that went fine as well.My problem is with actually using the program.When I try to log in I get the error "Authentication failed for user tony" (my username). Do I need to change anything in the configuration other than setting it to use gnome and putting in the host address?oes it make a difference that my ssh settings only allow rsa login? I logged into the server with ssh to see if that helped but it did not. I even tried using the ssh key with the FreeNX Client but that did not work

I am trying to setup Postfix along with dovecot on RHEL4. I have done the necessary settings in dovecot.conf, yet I am not able to log into the POP3 server. The error I can see through WireShark/Ethereal is "Err- Authentication failed" Some of the important settings in /etc/dovecot.conf are
disable_plaintext_auth = no
auth_mechanisms = plain
auth_userdb = passwd
auth_passdb = pam
auth_user = root
The users/passwords are setup on Linux file system without MQSql or any other database. SASL etc is not configured at all.

I apologize first because I do not know if this is the right section for my problem, but I could not find anything more suitable. I have an Asus 900 with Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10:04 In a nutshell: I realized today, trying to install a new program with Ubuntu Software Center, that I can not anymore authenticate myself as root. Of course I have not changed the password, but the old one is not anymore accepted ("Authentication failed").
The interesting thing is that I can install programs without problems (using the same old password) with the package manager in Administrative Tools (synaptic). Here, the authentication works well. Opening a terminal, I can use sudo to run any command by providing my password, with no problem at all. Following some guides found on the web, I reset the root password (supplying the same one as before) and everything went well. Only .... nothing has changed! Ubuntu center software authentication always fails.
What could have happened? Maybe I did some mistake by editing /etc/sudoers to solve another problem some days ago. Ubuntu told me that my username was not in the sudoers file, so I resolved it by adding to /etc/sudoers the line myusername ALL = (ALL) ALL
I checked the contents of the file and, apart from this line added, it is as it was before (I compared with that on another PC with Ubuntu). Can anyone make some sense out of it? Starting from the fact that the package manager does function ... but software center does not.

I'm extremely new to SuSE Linux. I wanted to move away from Windows and so I decided to reload my Desktop with SuSE linux.I have had no trouble until now. I'm trying to connect to my work VPN connection. From my laptop (which unfortunately is Vista) I'm able to connect without any issues. However, when I tried out the KVPN application on my SuSE linux, it just doesn't work. I get the error:
Authentification has failed.
As a side note, when I type ping google, the packets are received 100% but when I ping my company address, no packets are received. Hope this info is useful.

the laptop of my friend runs ubuntu through wubi. The system suddenly freezed and she restarted it manually. After doing a check disk and automatically repaired some packages(unfortunately she doesn't remember what exactly, only just inode information appeared), she can't log in as when she types her username and password the answer is authentication failed. We tried to change the password through recovery mode but nothing happened.
1. Do you have something to propose to solve the login problem?
2. If not how can i access and back up her ubuntu documents through windows?
