My LiveCD creations keep failing because the livecd-tmp mount get's locked. I think it's the jdb2/loop locking it (very hard to tell) Is there a way to sync or make this process go away so I can detach the losetup?

I used playonlinux for a manual install of a game that needs more than one cd. I can't eject to install the next cd in line. How do I unlock the drive? I'm now in the middle of installing.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFor some reason, I can't seem to get the videocard to use the native resolution of any monitor I plug in, no matter what EDID information passes by the hardware. The hardware built into this server is a S3 Savage4 8MB. I tried to use the EDID info to create Modelines in xorg.conf, but it seems these get ignored outright Trying to reconfig with different drivers, the only ones that work (properly) appear to be VESA and SAVAGE (S3 and S3ViRGE didnt work). XRANDR wasn't much help either, it listed many short modes, maxing at 1024x768 Modes available:
1024x768
800x600
640x480
Monitor Modes of Monitors Tested available and in EDID, which CentOS/Xorg/whatever is ignoring:
Olevia 237-S11
Native Size: 1360x768
Resolution Maximum: 1920x1080 (downsample)
[code]...
All three of the monitors above, even with reconfigure and their best-bet drivers failed to offer anything but those three resolutions I listed above. Can anyone clarify for me if I'm missing something, or was the way the Savage driver coded that it is limited to 1024x768 maximum, regardless of panel and videocard capability?
In 10.04 I was using the following commands to mount an encrypted disk image:
Code: sudo losetup -f Which tells what loop back device block is available Then I'd type:
Code: sudo losetup -e aes /dev/loop0 /home/user/crypt.img and then enter the device's password
Code: sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/loop0 /media/crypt I've tried this in 10.10 and it hasn't been working (I can't remember if I did anything in 10.04 to make it work). I've installed the loop-aes-utils package and restarted my machine. Every time I try the 2nd step, after entering the password I get: Code: ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument, requested cipher or key length (128 bits) not supported by kernel
My Canon PowerShot A470 + CHDK can write to SD-cards that are "locked" (the lock switch is used to make the card bootable), but GNU/Linux
`/dev/mmcblk1': Read-only file system
(I'm using "Texas Instrument 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader")
So I have to switch that switch on and off again and again. ("unlocked" to write to the card in Linux, "locked" to boot the camera from it).
How to force locked card to be writable in GNU/Linux?
So I have an external hard-drive, and I want to run the setup for the unlock.exe (allows access to the drive), but when I go to wine it, I get this message: "The application has encountered an unexpected error and is now exiting."

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Debian Squeeze on my HP laptop (I had been using Ubuntu) and most everything has been operating just as one would expect. There has been one noticeable problem though. If I set the power management settings, in Gnome, to suspend on lid close, and also have the screensaver set to lock the screen when active, when I reopen the lid the screen just stays black. No matter what keys I press there is no response at all, and I have to switch to a console via Ctrl-Alt-Fn and then back again, which will finally bring up the login box.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I lock the computer, and move the mouse to unlock, the unlock screen is invisible and can't be seen. I can still type in my password and manage to unlock, but I can't visually see the screen, nor can anyone leave me a message while I'm gone. This only seems to affect GL screensavers.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have approx. 30x Western Digital SATA 2.5" hard drives ranging from 80GB to 500GB. These are ex-Tandberg RDX QuikStor backup drives that I no longer use and would like to use them as spare laptop hard drives.The only problem is upon installing the drive in a laptop it prompts for a hard drive user password.
Are there any open source methods to wipe the password (and data; I don't care about that)? I've tried using various wiping methods (dd, dban etc.) but the password still remains.Any help is greatly appreciated; I really need these drives.Plugging it in via a USB HDD enclosure shows as /dev/sdb but does not respond to (c)fdisk or show any partitions (/dev/sdb1 etc).
I'm experimenting with the passwd command to become more failure it.created an user account that had no password to practice on. I tried using the -u option to unlock it go the response:Cannot unlock the password for 'duplicateTest'!Read the man page and it instructs me to add the -f option to force it to accept unlocking an account with no password but !. I type in:passwd -uf duplicateTestThe response is:passwd: invalid option-- 'f'I rearranging the options and it prompted me to enter a change of finger information. Tried separating them, bracketing them ect...no dice.Can't find anything else on the net but what is stated on the man page, to add the force option.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am running Xebian on my old Xbox. Currently I am trying to fit an old hdd that is locked (to a mo-bo that has expired). I have connected it up instead of the dvd drive and booted with it as slave. The OS can access it using hdparm -I /dev/hdb, but it showing as locked I have the key which is:
HDDLockDisablePassword 76 1d d3 2b e9 df 17 96 64 3b 5c 5f d9 95 ba 4e 74 f5 e5 0e 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
I am trying to input this using hdparm I have tried:
hdparm --security-mode U --security-unlock 761dd32be9df1796643b5c5fd995ba4e74f5e50e000000000000000000000000 /dev/hdb
which doesn't work. What format does the password need to be in. I suspect ASCII but I can't type some of the characters. Is the rest of the syntax correct? EDIT I have another key:

View 9 Replies View RelatedI made the mistake of using the command 'adduser' on an already existing user. I was incrementing a name and mis-typed. Now the account refuses to recognize the users password. The user can get in.
I tried resetting the password as administrator (passwd 'user'), but when the user tries, the new password isn't recognized.
I tried expiring the account password (passwd -e user). The user gets prompted for a new password, but the new password still doesn't get recognized.

Oh, forgot to mention: I am on F15 with Gnome 3.0.1
Back when I used openSUSE 10.3 with KDE 3.5.x I used the KDE-specific version of blueproximity found here: K-Blueproximity KDE-Apps.org. The thing that made it great was that it integrated kscreensaver.
It hasn't been updated in a couple years and isn't compatible with 4.3.x so I'm using the non-KDE-ified standard blueproximity package. For the most part it works. Based on comments I found somewhere I'm running the following command to lock the screen:
Code:
qdbus org.kde.screensaver /ScreenSaver Lock ; xset dpms force off
and to unlock:
Code:
xset dpms force on ; killall -9 krunner_lock kblankscrn.kss
.
The problem is that the unlock command doesn't work. My monitors will reactivate and the screensaver will display but in order to actually unlock I have to hit a key/move the mouse and enter my password.
what the command should be to actually unlock the screen since the above doesn't work.
I had to force kill the yast, however, it didn't had chance to unlock the files it lockes while it workes. I know there is a way to manully unlock them, but don't know how to do it
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just did a fresh install of 11.4
My system auto-logs in and I know there's a bug in seahorse that doesn't like that method.
Anyway, I tried to unlock my "Passwords: login" in seahorse, but it won't budge.
The details about this user are that I re-used an 11.3 /home/$user directory. Could that be the reason?
I logged out of the Desktop and back in using my password manually.
I can sudo with my password. I can change the system with my password everywhere except in seahorse.
The password is exactly the same in 11.4 as it was in 11.3.
The .gnupg/ directory is 600 and its contents are all 600 except for agent.info which is 644.
Following a year old post, I got this from shell code...
When I unlock the screen, I'm presented with an opaque dialogue (white box), regardless of whether I have a screen-saver or not. This is a cosmetic issue only because I can type my password to unlock the screen successfully, but I'd like a solution. I'm using oS 11.2 with KDE 4.5 (but the issue predates updating to 4.5).This is the only "issue" I've experienced since migrating my laptop (was Windoze 7) and desktop (was MS SQL server 2003) to oS
