View 2 Replies View RelatedI switched to Kubuntu with the upgrade to Lucid. After a couple updates, I started getting a "Gnome looking" unlock screen on my desktop at start-up. I get the regular KDE keyring password request and a second that looks like the Gnome keyring. I don't know how this happened. I checked in Synaptic and found the gnome-keyring was installed. Can I uninstall this or will that cause problems?

View 4 Replies View RelatedSince loading Lucid I keep getting pestered with a request to provide a password as the screen is blank.When installing Lucid and applying the Ubuntu-Restricted-Extras the screen went blank during the process and again there was the need to provide a password.Is there some way that I can avoid this continuous need to keep providing this information? It tends to be a pain in the backside.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy computer is recently asking for my 'default keyring password'to get access to the internet. It never used to do this as I am single user and never created a keyring password as far as I know. I dont even use a login password.Luckily i tried my administrator password and that unlocks my keyring but I would like to get it back to no password or auto unlock mode.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I user wants to navigate through the internet, he must first give his username and password. The password is sent in clear text. I would like to encrypt this using SSL (or an other solution already integrated in Squid). Is this possible in Squid?I read that "user_cert" option can do this, but I couldn't configure it.I have: acl myacl user_cert src 192.168.1.5Which gives: "aclParseAclLine: Invalid ACL type 'user_cert'"The other solution is probably tunneling, but I don't want to install special software on the client machines
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently switched from centos to fedora as my server choice. Probably not the best decision but I like trying new things. Now before I switched I had my samba server setup just they way I wanted it. Now I'm having a hard time getting it back to that way. Here is my smb.conf
Code:
[global]
workgroup = workgroup
netbios name = netbios name
server string = Linux Server
security = user
wins support = yes
encrypt passwords = Yes
domain logons = yes
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = yes
writable = yes
valid users = %S
[me]
path = /home/me
read only = no
public = yes
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
browseable = yes
writable = yes
Now I did throw away my old smb.conf because it wasn't that complicated and I figured I could reproduce it.. aside from that everything is working except for the fact that I can access any share I want to listed without it requesting a password. I have a username and password setup with smbpasswd and I think everything else is setup correctly involving samba shares but I have no idea why it won't request a password.

View 5 Replies View Relatedwe have a problem with dhcpcd at boot time on any openSUSE version from 11.0 to 11.3. It seems that a number of workstations never send out DHCPDISCOVER or DHCPREQUEST at boot time, we have verified this with packet dumps. The dhcp client progress bar is displayed on the console but eventually times out, goes into background and the system continues booting.This is a problem because the timeout takes a long time and users have to wait. Sometimes the display manager is even started but users cannot using LDAP authentication. Eventually these systems just continue to use their old lease and networking works.Curiously, when we do a network restart after boot, the clients send DHCPDISCOVER/-REQUEST normally, we only have this problem at boot time.
On the server side we're using ISC dhcpcd-1.3.22pl4-223.13 on SLES 10 SP2. I have read about others who had the same problem, they switched from dhcpcd to dhclient. I have also tried this, but for us dhclient is not an option for a number of other reasons. Another thing I have tried is setting DHCLIENT_SLEEP ("Some interfaces need time to initialize. Add the latency time in seconds")o two minutes to give the interface time to initialize.nfortunately this didn't change anything.
I had a working dual boot Ubuntu 10 and Windows 7. Anyways long story short, I got it working again but have lost the boot option for windows 7. If i run fdisk -l, I get the following.

Disk /dev/sda: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes

I installed gparted and can see that windows 7 is installed in dev/sda6. In another forum, i read that someone had to edit their menu.lst so i did with the following.

When i try to boot from windows 7, i get the following error. Error 12: invalid device request. How can i get my laptop to boot from windows again?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've just upgraded from 9.10 on a system that has an encrypted root partition encrypted using the following guide:
[URL]
On boot, prior to the LUKS password prompt, I see the error:
Code:
cannot open file /etc/console-setup/boottime.kmap.gz
The consequence is that the keyboard does not respond, the password cannot be entered, and the root partition cannot be unlocked.
This behavior occurs on all 2.6.32.x kernels but falling back to my previous kernel, 2.6.31.9-rt works just fine.
This is on a production system and is not running in a virtual machine, so the issue is not:
[URL]
I have tried running sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, which does regenerate the initram-fs for the desire kernel, but it does not solve the problem.
The guide's initram hook includes the lines:
Code:
mkdir -p ${DESTDIR}/etc/console-setup
cp /etc/console-setup/boottime.kmap.gz ${DESTDIR}/etc/console
... but my understanding of the initram stages of the boot process are hazy and I am unclear what the intent is behind the lines.
For some reason after upgrading from 9.10 to 10.4 I now at boot get the password box for unlocking the keyring. It does not seem to make any difference to the computer if I put the correct password in, junk or just cancel. Everything still works as it did before. So how do I turn it off, it's not doing anything from what I can see.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to have /boot as an ext2 (I don't need journaling and I might want to undelete something) and all other partitions in an LVM.When the server starts it will prompt me for the LVM password. I would like to be able to contact the server using SSH (or using another secure method) and tell the password. Since /usr/sbin and all the other partitions are inside the LVM I guess I have a problem?
Is it possible to setup something like this? The SSH session for the LVM authentication does not have to be a daemon. It can be something which just sits and waits until I connect and input the password. And then the "real" SSH deamon kicks in.
how necessary it is to assign a password to the grub-boot loader? and how I go about doing it to make the system more secure.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't recall my Ubuntu password.**
I found instructions regarding recovery.
They involve pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 while booting the Ubuntu live CD.
If I allow the live CD to boot, I arrive at a Ubuntu GUI.
However, if I press Ctrl-Alt-F1, the monitor (HDMI TV) goes blank and indicates "no signal
correcting the password from a GUI (can I just go to a command prompt from there somehow, and work from that command prompt?) or getting my video to display when I press Ctrl-Alt-F1?
** (I remember trying to set up the system with NO password).
It's absurd to require one.
Especially so if a person with a live CD can simply change it (I guess at least the change would be detected).
i'm trying to get everything working ok. i have installed ubuntu using wubi and i've found that i can access my files on my windows partition from ubuntu. to do this i have to mount the disk and enter the password each time i boot up, and i would like this to be done automatically. i was wondering if this was possible? i put in a link directly to the music folder on windows into my 'places' but it only appears once i have put the password in. its not a huge thing, but its one of those things which would make starting up my ubuntu a lot more conveniant.

I am new to Fedora. I know my top probably already been posted somewhere but I just could not find it. I just installed Fedora 11. But my root password does not work (I guess was my fault to type wrong in the first place or some type of short term memory lost). I looked at the root password recovery procedure which involves select single user at GRUB page when booting. But for some reasons, Fedora 11 does not boot into GRUB. I tried Alt+CTRL+F1, F1 or Shift, none of those gives me Grub screen.
