Ubuntu :: Firefox Remembering Tabs Despite Settings?

Aug 18, 2010

I have Ubuntu 10.04 x86 on my laptop. I think I had this problem with older versions, but I can't remember. Needless to say it's been going on for a while. Firefox is set explicitly to go to my home page [URL] when opening, but it frequently (50% or better) instead opens my tabs from my last session.

How can I fix this?

Ubuntu :: How To *export* Passwords From Firefox For Save Storage

Jun 24, 2010

How do I, the rightful creater and owner of the Firefox master-password, convince Firefox to release my passwords to me? I'm aware that Firefox stores website-passwords in the personal information manager, and that I am able to view these after unlocking them with the master-password and export them with the profile info export function. However, I collect all my passwords and encrypt them with a very strong key for storage outside my PC.

Fedora :: Will Firefox Remember Passwords

Nov 24, 2009

Running FC11 64 bit and Firefox 3.5.5. Under Edit->Preferences->Security, I have checked the box "Remember passwords for sites". But Firefox doesn't remember the passwords. It does remember the usernames. Is there something else that I must do to get it remember passwords?

Ubuntu Security :: Checking If Anyone Is Viewing Passwords Stored In FireFox?

Jun 16, 2010

As I am a paranoid bastard, I made a bash screencap-script for my Ubuntu-computer, so I can check if anyone uses my computer for things I don't want them to do (eg. checking if anyone is viewing passwords stored in FireFox, looking at private files, or other things I find disturbing). There might be other people than me that is paranoid and want to monitor what's going on on their computers while they are away or letting someone else use their computer when going to the bathroom.

This is a small script, I'd like to hear if there is any improvements that can be done, so I can learn more and become better at such scripting.

The script requires Imagick (sudo apt-get install imagemagick) and a folder in the ~-directory (/home/username) called ".screen" (hidden, as this makes it more difficult to "intruders" to find it and it looks more like a system-folder than a monitoring-folder).

The script:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
i=1;
j=`date`;
user=`whoami`;

[Code]....

Add this script to /usr/local/bin and then go to keyboard-shortcuts in GNOME and add a shortcut-key-combination of your own choice for the script. Call it whatever you'd like, and the command you want to run is simply "screen". To add a shortcut for stopping the script, you add another shortcut-key-combination to the command "killall screen".

This enables you to monitor activity on your computer while you're away, saving png-screenshots of your desktop every three seconds in the folder /home/username/.screen/date.

NOTE: I'm not taking any responsibility for what you do with this script. Remember that monitoring someone's activities is never the right way to handle anything. Also, it's illegal many places. Take care and use it only for educational and testing purposes.

Software :: Wanting Firefox To Save Passwords Again?

Sep 14, 2009

Whenever I log into a site for the first time I always tell Firefox to save my passwordThis is very convenient. Along time ago, however, when I first started using this feature I sometimes clicked "Never save the password for this site" and consequently some of the sites which I most frequently visit still need me to manually input the password.How can I tell Firefox I want it to save the passwords for these sites now? I cleared everything in the "Preferences >> Security >> Exceptions" menu but that did not fix the problem. I don't want to just delete my profile because I have about a years worth of passwords and bookmarks and whatnot that I don't want to redo.

Ubuntu :: Unity Is Not Remembering Icon Changes

Aug 9, 2011

I recently tried gnome 3 on my netbook to see if it would work (via PPA) on ubuntu 11.04, it didn't.URL...I rolled backed to gnome 2 (by removing the PPA - comment 7 in the above link), however, now when I use unity as my desktop any changes I make to the docked icons are not saved when I logout. This seems to happen on a couple of different users, so it doesn't seem to be a user setting problem (i.e. a weird file version problem).As a work around I have unity 2D installed on my netbook (an eee 1000H) and this works fine.

Fedora :: Gnome Is Stuck Remembering Applications

Aug 4, 2009

I recently was playing with some gnome settings and I went to System > Preferences > Startup applications then I hit the Options tab and checked "Automatically remember applications when logging out" was testing to see if it actually worked... and it did.. so I unchecked it and restarted again and... it's the SAME 3 applications I was running.. and its stuck..tried checking it again and then closing everything but now it's still doing it with the same 3 apps I had running (Totem, Firefox, Pidgin).Anybody know how to wipe where it's remembering the applications I'm running? so this can stop when I log in.

somehow checking it again and closing everything worked this time, but does anybody know where I can find the find the remaining information for this function? so i can wipe it clean, whatever may be left.

Fedora :: Tvtime: Remembering Volume Across Restarts?

Jul 17, 2010

I'm on Fedora 13 (64 bit) and using tvtime (latest version 1.0.2-13.fc13 installed via yum) which I've managed to get to work with my old WinTV card (bt878 chipset I think) by having it start with its mixer-device set to "hw:0/Line" (the WinTV card outputs the sound via a cable to the Line In socket of the soundcard).

This all works (I can control the volume in tvtime using the left and right keys) except that the volume resets to zero every time I restart. tvtime remembers all my other settings (and the previous volume is even saved in its config file) so I think the issue is related to ALSA/PulseAudio resetting the appropriate mixer (Line In on the internal sound card).

However, I can't find which mixer tvtime is accessing. In 'Sound Preferences', changing the Master Volume affects the sound from tvtime, but none of the other mixers seem to be related to it (and tvtime doesn't appear on the 'Applications' list). I've also tried finding it in alsamixer, which gives me a choice of 'default' (PulseAudio), 'HDA Intel' (the internal sound card) and 'Brooktree Bt878' (the TV capture card) and again the 'Master' and 'Front' mixers do affect the sound, but are not the mixer that tvtime is accessing.

I know this is a very specific and minor thing, but it's a bit annoying seeing as I've got everything else set up near-perfectly.

Or alternately, as a workaround, is there an easy way of creating a script to lanuch tvtime and send some volume up commands (right arrow key) the first time it is run after a restart (but not the times after that)?

General :: Why Is Vim Not Remembering Position In File Between Runs?

Dec 3, 2010

I'm using vim 7.2.330 on 64 bit ubuntu 10.04, sometime in the last week every time I reopen a file it places the cursor at the top of the file. I can see in ~/.viminfo where it's saving the last position used, but it doesn't seem to be honoring it.

General :: Shell - On (CentOS 5), Remembering When We've Followed A Symlink And Being About To 'cd?

Dec 10, 2010

I'm trying to figure out how to tell the shell (tcsh) to remember when I've gone into a symlinked folder, and allow 'cd' to navigate back out of the symlink rather than just navigate to the parent directory of the linked-to folder...

For example:

$ ls -al /jobs
tech -> /mnt/projects1/tech
temp -> /mnt/projects2/temp
$ cd /jobs/tech
$ cd ../temp
../temp: No such file or directory.
$ pwd
/mnt/projects1/tech

Ubuntu :: 3 Users Only Want Passwords For 2?

Mar 2, 2010

I am trying to set up Ubuntu like I had on my windows PC. I have my account, my wifes account and my kids account. I want passwords set for both myself and my wife but I don't want the kids to be required to have a password to log in. When setting up Ubuntu, it looks like it was all or none. I have dabbled with Linux off and on for years and am sure there is a way to set this up but I have no idea how.

Ubuntu :: Samba Forgets User Passwords?

May 10, 2010

I've just installed 10.04 x64 and I've had some problems with samba (cifs/windows file sharing). It seems like samba is forgetting user passwords, so on every reboot I have to add a password for the user that needs access: sudo smbpasswd -a tietze

I've tried restarting samba (sudo service sbmd restart), but it does not work. I have to add a new password for the user with the command above.

I tried to google a bit for a solution, but only found the following thread with a problem that seems related: [other] Samba forgets user

making samba remember passwords betweeen reboots/shutdowns?

Ubuntu Installation :: Lynx Won't Accept Passwords?

Jun 12, 2010

this is just weird. Did a fresh install from the alternate CD, including deleting original Win XP partition. Installation went just fine. Building this for my wife, so when asked for user name and password, entered those for her. As required, enteressword, then re-entered for verification. When setup completed, I tried to login, but absolutely could not. System recognizes the keyboard, responds to enter key, enters dots in the PW box as I'm typing but only returns Authentication Failed.

Thinking I must have mistyped the PW both times, I reinstalled. This time, I created my user name and password; the one my hand muscles know so I don't even have to think about it. Get to the end, reboot and, I can't log in!Does anybody have any idea what's going on here? I'd truly love to find out; my wife is getting restless

Ubuntu Networking :: Ettercap Not Showing The Passwords?

I used to have ettercap on backtrack 4 and everything was ok...But on ubuntu 10.04 I'm having this issue; it is not showing passwords (if i log in for example in a forum with a http link )and not sending false certificate (if i try to log in in https links, after uncommenting the redir ip tables in etter.conf).Other features seems to work alright (such as dns spoofing) and the arp poisonning is succesful. Besides, Wireshark gets the passwords.

Ubuntu :: Unable To Get Group Passwords To Work At All In 10.4?

Sep 29, 2010

I am unable to get group passwords to work at all in 10.4. I set the password for the group and try to `newgrp` in to it, the prompt asks for the password, but always gives me permission denied (even though its set to allow this..": x :"). Is this just not fully supported?

Next, after using `sudo gpasswd -A usr grp`, the user becomes an admin of the group, he can add/remove users only for that grp, but is not a "member". How would I find out who are admins of groups? I have tried `groups`, looking in /etc/group and theres nothing, the user does't even look like hes associated with the group at all.

Ubuntu Servers :: Where Are Samba Passwords Located In 10.10?

Apr 10, 2011

Although my smb.conf file cites /etc/samba/smbpasswd as the password file, I see that it is not in some database file. Since smb.conf doesn't seem to look anywhere else but /etc/samba/smbpasswd, how can I direct it to the new password scheme. At least this is what I find when using SWAT to display the smb.conf file contents.This seems to be preventing my windows client having access to shared printers, but yet, not shared files.

Ubuntu :: Use Passwords And Encryption Keys For Remote SSH?

May 1, 2011

I just recently upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04, but using the classic desktop instead of unity, mainly because unity sucks big time, but that's a different story, anyway, when I used 10.10 I had a key setup for access to my remote SSH server, but now when I try to set up a new key using passwords and encryption, I get:- "Couldn't configure secure shell keys on remote computer", followed by:- '** (process:2532):WARNING **:couldn't open fd 27:Bad file desciptor' 3 lines of this with different process numbers then I got ''** (process:2535):WARNING **:couldn't open fd 27:Bad file descriptor: Permission Denied. Please try again'

I have not changed anything on the remote server at all. I can access SSH using PuTTy sucessfuly, but I want to set up a key using the ubuntu passwords and encryption key program, but since ugrading to 11.04 I can not do that for some reason.
