Ubuntu :: Can't Download Software - Entered My Password And Then Got An Error ?
Jun 10, 2010
Recently I was trying to download some software from Ubuntu Software Center. I found the app I needed, pressed install, entered my password and then i got an error window with this written in it: 'The installation could have failed because of an error in the corresponding software package or it was cancelled in an unfriendly way. You have to repair this before you can install or remove any further software.'
The problem is that I don't remember what I downloaded or when I did it.

I'm running PCLinuxOS with no other OS installed. Thought I'd have a go at chainloading. just for interests sake.So, I opened Konsole, entered su and entered my root password. The command line turned red so, I imagined all was well. But when I then keyed in '/boot/grub/.menu.lst' I was refused access.

When I try to connect to my ubuntu server with my mac, I always get "You have entered an incorrect username or password, please try again". The same problem occured when I tried to connect to another mac server at my school. Is this a mac wide problem? Anyone else experienced this problem?

I'm trying to connect to my windows 7 computer via network from ubuntu 10.04. I get as far as this screen:
My problem is it always says I've entered the wrong password. I've tried the administrator account password and also the long windows 7 homegroup password.
tl;dr: what kind of password is it looking for?

I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 Netbook Remix on a Dell Mini Netbook 9 (I think that's what it is.) I used to be able to connect to my wireless internet fine, but then my brother put a password on it. So there's a little box that comes up and tells me to enter a password now. I do, and it tries to load for a minute and then wants me to enter my password again. It just keeps going like this.

This is mostly an FYI. I have been messing around with an old desktop to see what I could do.
I installed an image of XP, then tried installing Ubuntu. I chose the option to install along side XP, and adjusted the partition size. The install gets to the point where I create my password, and I get exactly 4 characters entered in the first password field and it freezes. It did the same thing on two consecutive installation attempts.

I just got a new laptop for work that dual boots with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10.Normally, I can use an sslvpn connection to log onto my office servers to transfer data back and forth through Windows. However, I do my actual work on Linux, which the computing services department at the university where I work has not set up a sslvpn connection method for.I got the JRE set up on Linux and loaded up the sslvpn connection when I was asked for my sudo password. After following some other instructions, I created a different password to act as root.I entered that password over and over again and now I'm not able to attempt to connect again by trying another password.

The login cycles- I already have a problem with mounting something connected with USB (long term minor annoyance, but everything works), but suddenly I cannot log in. When I put my username and password in, the screen flashes black for about half a second, then the login screen re-appears. If I put the wrong password in, I get an authentication error message (as expected) without turning black and then cycling again.
I have no problems going into terminal mode and logging in. I've tried all sorts of suggestions related to this problem- reinstalling ubuntu-desktop, apt-get clean, sudo startx, and the last indicates that x-windows is already running. I've found a couple more things to try, but I'm not too sure how well they'll work. It seems to be connected with x-windows, but I don't know what is causing it. Last night I had a big problem that required reinstalling nautilus (couldn't set up a connection to a remote server), and that problem was fixed- but this developed when I booted this morning.

hi, first i'd like to say that i'm totally new to linux, i was allways using windows.
as i was allways unable to install a good and stable ssh-server on windows, i thought it is time to change to linux. i was able to set up and configure a ssh-server on debian but found out, that fedora 15 looks more userfriendly in first place for me. but now i unfortunately experience problems..
the ssh server was already installed, i changed the service setting to that it starts automatically but after i succesfully connected to the LAN, i cannot access the shh via putty for instance. when i type "service sshd status" it says beside other things: active (running). but when i look at the /var/log/messages, it says those two lines:
sshd.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=255
Unit sshd.service entered failed state.
i searched on google without success, the only thing i found was that someone had the same problem with a bad sshd_config file, but i'm pretty sure that everything is alright with my config-file (i checked it several times).
beside this i cant login on the gui, after the firefox update (??) it always says: a problem has occured and the system can't recover bla bla... so i can only use fedora right now commandline-based.. but with this problem i will deal later on...

I am an old Ubuntu user and have just strted running F11 on my iBook. I always run system-config-samba on all my machines including my server and even on my work server which shares with windows, Linux and OSX and have found it to be perfect. I installed it straight away on the new Fedora system but It doesn't seem to be functioning the way i expected it to.
I installed system-config-samba and then set up one share folder "Public" with open read write privileges and then turned off the Fedora Firewall all together. But "public" did not become open until I entered the user password for the fedora machine. But, then I could see all folders on the Fedora machine. Even root on the fedora machine became write-able on the network. This was not the desired effect at all. I am assuming fedora is using a non system-config-samba file share system that I am unfamiliar with. what is it? and how does it work?

I've been trying to install some games from the ubuntu software center. When I click "install" I'm asked for a password, but I don't understand why since I had my login password disabled(is it some other password?).If I just press enter without typing anything, it tells me that authentication failed.

I have taken the plunge of trying Ubuntu after thinking about it for a while and I have to say I like what I see so far, it is fast and runs smooth. One thing I am having trouble with is updating drivers or software, I tried to run an app on facebook and I was told I would have to install flash. I have look and found a place to get the driver but I am having trouble downloading it. when click on the link at Adobe I get the following Adobe flash plugin Available from "maverick.partner" source Click on to use the source (which I did) and I am asked for a password? How do I get the password to download and install this file?

I am currently running an Amahi server with Fedora 12. I use gpodder to download my podcasts. I have one podcast that i listen to that i need a username and password to download it. I am using version 2.1 on Fedora, i downloaded the latest version on my Ubuntu machine (2.5) and it works perfectly. its differences with Ubuntu (started my linux usage with Ubuntu). Could this be the result of a file gpodder uses not having the correct user permissions?

I have installed opensuse 11.3. I am unable to connect to my wireless connection. KNetworkManager finds the connection (when I scan for connections), I can enter the WEP Hex key, it says it is configured. Goes through its "check list" when you click "ok", and all seems good. But it won't connect. When I run "nm-tool" I get:
State: unknown
WARNING **: error: could not connect to NetworkManager
Just ridiculous, brand new, up to date OS, and its this difficult to connect to a wireless router!

how to do a small script that checks if what the users entered is an ip address or not? Also possible to do the same but instead of an ip address is a netmask. For example the user entered: 192.168.0.1 so its true this is an ip address, if it doesn't look like an ip address then is false And second example, the user entered: 255.255.255.0 so the script returns true, and if its not a netmask the script returns false.

My first post here. I've been using Ubuntu Server edition (Hardy) happily for some time now. I use sudo regularly during configuration of new services. It always works/authorises within seconds, however, it recently became very slow, to the point of being nearly unusable. It turns out that ANY authentication request stalls in this way - in in a plain shell, X or Gnome, via VNC (and even FTP seems affected). In /var/log/auth.log I noticed a regular working pattern like this:
[Code].....
Unfortunately now, these records look the same, but the timestamps are much wider apart (minutes). The problem occured after running synaptic and dpkg-reconfigure obm-conf. I was trying to remove 'OBM' [URL] completely as I'd messed up (just OBM) while trying to fix a minor-looking misconfiguration.
I've carefully analysed which files were altered (modified) during my changes (as the problem survives a reboot), but there are no likely-looking candidates in the list (I deleted some blank lock files). I also did a wireshark capture during an authentication session and noticed that it doesn't appear to be looking off the server for information (I had likewise-open installed, but the problem exists whether that is running or not). Research in the forums hinted that this might just be as simple as a bad /etc/hosts file - but /etc/hosts has not been modified. I may have a flawed DNS, but I get fast enough responses to nslookup and can access Internet etc.

F10 trying to key in static ip address. Have followed guidelines on turningoff NetworkManager and turning on network. i went to command line and did a couple of chkconfig things and entered ip address, with subnet. when i do ip addr show i see under eth0 inet 192.168.3.11/32 which is 255.255.255.0, i'm pretty sure. i do not see gateway. when i go to system/network get prompted to log into root, network config window opens. icheck eth0 and the subnet mask is 192.168.3.1, the gateway, which is in correctly, in the gateway slot, as well. i still can not ping to from my xp based multihomed router.

Why is it that I kept getting error messages that basically were saying that could not connect to the Ubuntu servers to do download of updates to Ubuntu that is until I switched to the MAIN ubuntu server at which point it worked fine.I tried several of the Ubuntu servers other than the MAIN server and kept getting error messages. Is there some problem with those other servers ?
