Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Broken After Upgrade To 10.04 And After Reinstall Of 9.10
Jun 9, 2010I recently upgraded Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 and my wireless stopped working. It can detect that there are networks around, what their signal strength is, and then try to connect to one, but it just keeps connecting. After around 5 minutes, this stops and nm-applet says no network connection.
After I try to connect, dmesg is spammed with hundreds of the same message. I can not post these here, as I am writing from a different computer and I have no internet access from my main computer.Also, there is nothing in interfaces.conf other than lo. For some reason, my card is referred to as both wlan0 and wmaster0, with this changing depending upon where I look.Most interesting of all is that, even after I reinstalled 9.10, wireless is still broken, even though it wasn't before. It also used to work under liveCD.
Ubuntu :: Broken Adobe Flashplayer - Can Neither Remove Nor Reinstall
May 12, 2010I am running Ububtu Linux 10.04. When I attempt to install the latest version of the Adobe flashplayer (10.0.45.2ubuntu1), the Synaptic Package Manager (SPM) tries to remove flashplugin-nonfree and install flashplugin-installer. That fails with the message
Code:
E: flashplugin-nonfree: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. So, then I attempted to reinstall flashplugin-nonfree package but the SPM does not allow me to either install or remove the broken flashplugin-nonfree package. I tried the same things using the Ubuntu Software Center (USC) with the same failure.
Tried:
Code:
$ aptitude show flashplugin-nonfree
Code:
Package: flashplugin-nonfree
State: partially configured
Automatically installed: no

Ubuntu :: Hplip And Hptools Not Working, Broken Links Reinstall?
Aug 10, 2011I could not get my HP printer to work. So in a not so brilliant move, I have uninstalled hplip and hptool and reinstalled it.Even tough the command line message is telling that it is installed, the HPtoolbox would not run (both from the command line or the menu).Did some digging and found that all the HP related files in /usr/bin were all labelled <broken link>.So, I deleted all these.Before I tried to reinstall again, should I worry about all the leftover hplip files?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Run Gksu Without A Password Possible?
Apr 25, 2010I'd like to be able to run gksu (i.e. the default windowed authentication) without a password. I tried to find this on the wiki and here on the forums but wasn't able to find anything. I've allowed 'sudo' to run without a password:
Code:
<username> ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
for my username but this has no effect on 'gksu'. As I am the only user on my machine and I have to enter a password on login
Ubuntu :: Gksu Not Working In 10.10
Oct 11, 2010I can enter my password just fine to log into the system, and using sudo from a terminal also works, but "gksu" does not. It tells me my password is incorrect. That means Synaptic doesn't work unless I "sudo synaptic" from the terminal. Anyone else happen to encounter this yet, or is it just me? I started with a clean install of Kubuntu 10.10, which I later installed ubuntu-desktop over and then removed. Would that possibly make a difference here?

Ubuntu :: Su And Gksu Don't Accept Password?
Sep 1, 2011I have this issue on both Ubuntu and Lubuntu 11.04 64-bit on 2 different machines. I have not tested 32-bit.
When I run synaptic or update-manager it presents me with gksu, not gksudo as it previously did in previous Ubuntu releases, no matter how many times I try it will not accept my password.
I have even given it command line arguments to print the password to the terminal and it's correct.
I have found a workaround - by running gksu-properties and changing the mode from su to sudo it will now display gksudo and accept my password.
However, I want to know why it won't accept my sudo password for the su and gksu commands? There are no error messages which are outputted, the gui just says incorrect password.

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Gksudo And Gksu Stop Working?
Jan 20, 2010I am running a file server on Jaunty. It was a fresh install about a month ago and I have been having problems ever since. I connect external drives to the machine to do nightly backups. Lately, I have been using GParted (Gnome Partition Editor) to format the drives before using them as backups, as I keep a backup for every day of the week.
After using GParted a couple of times, it will stop working and I can't open it or any other application that needs root privileges. I can't use Gnome to mount drives anymore. I have to open Terminal and use the mount command to mount drives. Trying to start gparted or any other application, including nautilus from the Terminal using gksudo or gksu, I get the following error message:
Code:
gksudo nautilus
(nautilus:25353): nautilus-extension-gnome-mount-WARNING **: Cannot connect to system bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.LimitsExceeded : The maximum number of active connections for UID 0 has been reached
(nautilus:25353): nautilus-extension-gnome-mount-WARNING **: Could not initialize hal context
[Code].....
Once the machine is rebooted, everything works fine until I run a few more privileged applications, then the applications stop working again and this whole process starts all over. The only way to fix the problem so far is to reboot the machine, which is completely unacceptable.
Ubuntu :: Gksu Not Working - Sudo Slow ?
Jun 29, 2010I've been having a problem with administrative apps all the way from last years' distros, and in 10.04-x64 it's still here.
When i launch an application that needs gksu, it simply hangs waiting for a gksu window that never shows up.
If i launch another administrative app, it hangs as well.
When i look at the process list, i get a lot of gksu instances, all sleeping.
if i kill those processes, the mentioned apps resume with an authentication error
But if i use a terminal and type sudo <app>, it hangs for a few seconds, then prompts for password and it works fine.
I don't know why it works so badly, but it needs to be fixed soon, many new users will surely find this very frustrating.
I run ubuntu 10.04-64bit on a AMD-Athlon-x2

Apr 19, 2011How to fix the problem that is happening with gksu. It prompts me for the administrative password. I don't (for advised security reasons) have a password associated with the root account.
The sudo works fine and accepts my sudo password. Gksu fails with "incorect password... try again." error.
This is a new install of the Ubuntu Server 10.10 x64 Maverick edition.
Ubuntu :: Gksudo/gksu Silently Refuses To Do Anything
Jun 2, 2011This comes at some point after installing GNS3 and Dynamips, which require administrator access as GUI's. Although, the first couple times I tried to run GNS3 as administrator, it worked fine. I do still receive the password prompt, whether running from the command line or the context menu. Note that GNS3 is the first application for which I've needed to run gksudo, so this may have been an issue before the above were installed, although I've always been able to run "Open as Administrator" in Nautilus and "Synaptic Package Manager," which now will not run either.

Whats interesting is that it gives me the sudo error after only one incorrect password attempt.
Fedora Installation :: Reinstall Grub After A Windows Installation Deleted It?
Jul 23, 2011This is partly a note to myself for the future and a guide to anyone who experiences similar issues.
So, I had to reinstall Windows XP since my previous installation gave me a blue screen error due to reasons unfathomable. Naturally, this deleted the GNU Grub and I could not login to my Fedora.
I read that apparently booting from a DVD installation offers an option to enter the rescue mode. I did not have a DVD, I only had the LiveCD so I had to figure out a way to reinstall Grub from the LiveCD. The following method seemed to do the trick.
Run the LiveCD and open Terminal.
1. Find the partition where the Grub Stage1 is code...
Debian Configuration :: Gksu/su-to-root To Run In Terminal Possible?
Jan 17, 2011I'm configuring some security and i'd like to run arpon to a specific device everytime wicd connects.So, if Wicd connects to a wireless, i'd launch gksu arpon -d -i eth2 (for example.) But this doesn't work, because it seems that gksu only works for X apps.I found that if i do: gnome-terminal -e 'sudo arpon -d -i eth2' It works, but it leaves me with a terminal window open, and i'd like to be asked for a password gksu style.I've also tried this: gksu -- arpon -d -i eth2which also works, but the program quits right after it's started.Am i missing something here?
