Running Lucid. Every time I hibernate, when I come back, it requires entering a password. I would like to disable this.In the config editor, under apps -> gnome-power-manager -> lock, I've already unchecked _everything_ there, and it still asks me for a password after hiberate.
View 1 RepliesI was looking for a way to disable the Suspend and Hibernate options from the logout menu as my laptop hangs on both and requires unplugging/battery removal to restart.
I found a few pages with instructions for older Ubuntu versions but I didn't come across anything that applied directly to 10.04 Lucid Lynx so I thought I'd post what I found worked for me on 10.04.
Open a Terminal from the Applications>Accessories>Terminal. Because the file you will be editing requires root privileges to edit, you will need to use the sudo command:
Code:
sudo gedit /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.upower.policy
Enter your password. This will then open the settings file in the text editor with the needed permissions (opening the file directly with the editor you will get an error message if you try to save the file). There are two sections in this file, the first for suspend and the second for hibernate. Near the end of each section will be a line with:
Code:
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>
Change this from Yes to No to disable. Save the changes and reboot.
Code:
<allow_active>no</allow_active>
Now the power menu will not display these options. To reverse changes just repeat the above and change from no back to yes.
Is it possible to disable hibernate, sleep and suspend in Ubuntu 10.10? I have found none of these to work properly on my PC.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a web server running on my laptop(in fact , it's a netbook). But I found it always hibernate automatically in a certain time .(In fact , I don't know what's the differences between hibernate or suspend. So I call this hibernate instead.) I am sure I have disabled the hibernate function in Power-Management from the System menu. But it still hibernates as usual.So could someone tell me how to disable it ( suspend,hibernate whatever )?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to disable the login screen when the computer returns from suspension and hibernation, so that it will automatically log me back in. I am using Ubuntu 9.10.When I come back from suspension, for some reason, my key board does not work in the login screen and I cannot type my password.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm running Thunderbird with Enigmail, and I have this very annoying problem. When I open an encrypted email for the first time, it asks me for my key password. It then remembers my password. This is fine for a few minutes, since I don't want to enter the password every time if I look at seven emails in five minutes. However, I WOULD like it to EVENTUALLY forget. At the moment, it doesn't even forget if I shut off Thunderbird. I have to restart my computer, in fact.
The preferences for Enigmail don't help. I've configured it to remember the password for 0 minutes, for example. I don't know how to edit the preferences for gpg-agent or anything else like that.
I never turn off my laptop so I never noticed this, Debian never ask me my user password ! I reboot my pc several time to be sure. However, If I lock the pc or hibernate, then Debian ask me my user password.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set up a SSH key between servers so no password is required when I have to "scp" files between the two. This is what I have tried so far but still requires a password:
Code:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
scp /home/<user>/.ssh/id_rsa <server2.com>:/home/<user>/.ssh/athorized_keys
When I scp after this I wasn't expecting to need a password but it is still prompting. Now I have used this same method before and it has worked great. The only difference this time is server2 is not in the same cage.
I'm new to linux and that forum, so a (possibly) silly question: I installed couchdb 1.0.1 w/ ymp (one-click) from http://software.opensuse.org/search?...3A11.2&lang=de and when I try to start it like /etc/init.d/couchdb start or sudo -i -u couchdb couchdb I am asked for a pwd, which I never put in. tried several standards or my own already. Didn't find anything in any documentation. Am I doing something wrong here?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have written a script to run commands on remote servers, it is working fine. But when I am running "sudo commands" on the remote servers, it asks for me password after prompting for ssh password. I am unable to automate this password prompt (which is just after ssh password prompt). This is the function I am using to provide passwords
Code:
pass ()
{
cd $DIR/"$dt1"_"$dt"
/usr/bin/perl << 'EOF'
use strict;
[code]....
I want the same function to be used , when it expects for sudo passwords for any of the below lines:
Code:
[sudo] password for vikas: orPassword: This is my "cmd" file passed in pass () function.
Code:
ssh -t -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no 192.168.1.100 "bash rcmds"
This is my script output

i find it really annoying to type in my password every time i run update manager. it is a stupid feature, i shouldn't have to type it in if i want to make my computer better. how can i disable it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI know, I know, its a security feature. That doesn't make it any less annoying. I find the constant asking for my password to be every bit as irritating as Windows's UAC. When I want to use the terminal, or when I want to download something, I don't want to have to enter my password every time. I don't care that someone could theoretically do something to my computer in some way. I managed to stay out of harms way in windows with UAC off, I'm sure I can do it in ubuntu without the constant nagging of the password prompts. Its annoying and I am tired of dealing with it. Anyone know how to turn it off? I am really not looking for reasons to leave it on. Its the same with UAC: Yeah, it can keep you out of trouble. No, I don't want it on.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to completely disable the password change for users accounts in linux?? (I don't mind account lock)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI find out there are two ways to do that:
sudo passwd -l root
sudo usermod -p root
What are the different? I saw a kubuntu post said:
-l, --lock
Lock the named account. This option disables an account by changing the password to a value which matches no possible encrypted value. I enable and set a root password, I want to return to a "no possible encrypted value" just like the way it was.
So after tinkering for a while, I was able to configure ssh for private/public key authentication and disabled Password-Authentication. In the past I had some issues with people brute force trying passwords/usernames so I want to avoid this, but I need some form of secure FTP that now doesn't work due to the aforementioned setting.
