Ubuntu Networking :: Getting "No Valid Secrets" When Trying To Connect

Jul 13, 2010

I just reinstalled my laptop from 8 to 10.04. Everything works OK except OpenVPN (which worked fine before the reinstall). I'm using Gnome and have installed openvpn along with network-manager-gnome. When I have configured the connection (User and CA certificate and key) and try to connect it fails immediately with "The VPN connection <name> failed because there were no valid VPN secrets."

Here is some output from syslog after a failed attempt:

Jul 13 12:57:42 aurora NetworkManager: <info> Starting VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn'...
Jul 13 12:57:42 aurora NetworkManager: <info> VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn' started

Networking :: Verify Machine Which Is Converted Into A Router?

Jun 10, 2010

I have enabled IP Forwarding in my linux machine by using the commandsysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1. But I dont see any difference in routes when I type the route command before and after changing this value.Do you guys have any solution to verify the packet forwarding, but using this single linux machine only? Of course, I verified the net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 value. But I need to verify by transmitting orreceiving packets

Ubuntu :: Removing KDE Secrets On Wifi Reconnect?

Nov 18, 2010

I installed Kubuntu on my PC I want to use remotely, without having keyboard, mouse nor monitor connected to it. So I want it to reconnect automatically if it loses the connection.

I upgraded to newest version of kubuntu, so I have KDE4 and newest network manager app. I have password set to my KDE wallet, so I enter it on boot and the app connects.

But then if kubuntu loses connection and tries to recconect a window appears with "secrets", where I have network connection screen, the password for my wireless network is already in the necessary field and all I have to do is press OK.

Well, I don't want that window to appear. The app already remembers my password, it detects it has to reconnect, but it makes me confirm the password is correct? I want to make it just connect, without my input. But I have no idea where to look.

I've checked the options in network manager, but nothing on that. Then I don't want to change the app if I won't have to, linux tends to be pretty touchy with my network card and I'm afraid it could stop detecting it or something...

Edit: The window appeared again so now I can put full title of it: "Secrets for [NetworkName] - KDE Daemon". Under it I can choose security type for [NetworkName], there is field for password, with the password already inserted and "show password" field under it. Oh, and OK button.

Edit 2: Obviously KDE wallet has "always allow" option for KNetworkManager.

CentOS 5 Networking :: No Hostname - Cannot Find Valid BaseURL For Repo

May 12, 2011

I have a server running centos 5 located in a datacenter. I am setting it up as a web server but haven't bothered to move the domain from my current registrar to the server as there are a lot of things I need to get done before that. I am having a problem where I couldn't install httpd. So i tried some of the basic fixes i knew as far as yum clean all and checking that my /etc/resolv.conf was ok. I have the two nameservers I am using listed there but I have no hostname set because I simply dont have the domain transferred or anything like that yet. Is that the reason I am having these issues. I installed the system with a network install fine about a month ago so im not sure why I am having problems now.When i try to ping centos.org I get an unknown host www.centos.org error. I tried changing the resolv.conf to have localhost as the hostname and I still have the same issues. I havent made any changes to anything that would potentially cause this.

My etc/resolv.conf looks like this:
search
nameserver 12.34.567.8
nameserver 12.34.566.8

Also it seems the problem may have got worse after yum clean-all because before that when I would try 'yum install httpd' it would show the files and filesizes and ask to install, when I would select yes It would give an error showing it could not find the fastestmirror. Now it doesn't give any file size or files or an option to approve the install. It just responds with an error saying it could not retrieve mirrorlist
<urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution' Error Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base

Ubuntu :: DJVU Converted (Slowly) To (Massive) PDF

Mar 7, 2010

There are quite a few threads in this forum on how to convert a DJVU file into a PDF (among which this thread the instruction of which I followed.) I converted a DJVU file by printing it to a PS file from the Document Viewer. Then I printed again the PS to file into a PDF from that same application. The second phase took more than 24 hours and resulted in a scanned PDF of less than 500 pages with a size of 315 MB! I have many books of more pages which come down to 1 MB only. What happened in the process to make it so damn slow and so inefficient? Is there a good alternative (not ps2pdf because it provides the same result)?

Ubuntu :: Converted Flac To MP3 But Can't See File In Zen Player

Oct 25, 2010

I used Sound Converter to convert a few artists tracks from flac to mp3. I've done this successfully in the Windows environment many times. Now when I go to play the tracks on my Creative Zen, they are not there but when I look at the tracks that I transferred over, in the file window, they are there and they are MP3's but my Zen isn't recognizing them. What's going on? All other artists that aren't converted MP3s are fine.

Ubuntu :: Windowblinds Themes Converted To GTK-2.0/Metacity Format?

Aug 18, 2010

1) Is there an existing substitute for this theme for GNOME and Metacity?
2) If not, is there a way to convert Windowblinds themes into the GTK2.0/Metacity format?

I did some searching for the first question for him, and haven't found any that are very close or that work well. To be honest, I haven't even found one that looks remotely like it. I do have to say, however, that I myself am interested in the second question. Is there a way to convert a Windowblinds .ZIP or .WGA archive to the format of GTK2.0/Metacity? In doing some looking around, I am certain that with a LOT of work, I could port the Windowblinds theme into GNOME, using some image editing and file movement. But is it really necessary?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Converted Ipod Videos Do Not Play?

Dec 3, 2010

I recently ran into a problem though. using mav. meerkat I have figured out how to rip dvds using acid rip, medibuntu and some ..... tutorials. Then I tried to put them on my ipod using gtkpod. when this did not work I did some research and realized the video files needed to be converted. At first I tried avidemux, it seemed to work but when i put them on my ipod (video white 80 gb) I tried to play them and the screen just went black and several seconds later was sent back to the menu. Then I tried winnff, but there was no ipod preset only a rockbox ipod preset which I tried with the same result. I then tried openshot using these parameters -ipod libx264 libfaac 1.25 Mbit/s -> 1.5 Mbit/s 128 kbit/sto160 kbit/s Quarter Square NTSC 320x24029.97HzAVCHDQuicktime 7Still same result. I have gotten purchased mp4 videos to work using gtkpod, so I am assuming it is a conversion problem. Also the converted mp4 I made using openshot plays fine on banshee player

Server :: Converted From VHS Tapes To AVI Files?

Sep 10, 2010

I have many home movies that I converted from VHS tapes to AVI files. I have it setup where I can watch it on my TV, but my hard drive is getting full because of size and quantity of AVI files. What I would like to do is make a file server to house all of these movies, but I have a couple of P4 2.0GHZ processor and couple 160GB Hard Drives. I would like to know if I can combine multiple computers and create a cluster or private cloud, combine the hard drive and processor power and set it up that way...in a sense a massive powerful file server. I am thinking of expanding this to include my word documents and pictures as well.

Networking :: Craft A Valid Http/1.1 Request For Getting Http Headers (not The Html File Itself)

Sep 27, 2010

Using netcat, nc(1), craft a valid http/1.1 request for getting http headers (not the html file itself!) for the main index page of www dot aalto dot fi. What request method did you use? Which headers did you need to send to the server? What was the status code for the request? Which headers did the server return? Explain the purpose of each header.

nc -v www dot aalto dot fi 8080
HEAD / HTML/1.1
host: www dot aalto dot fi
And it returns:
200 OK
Content-Length: 858
Content-Type: text/html
Last-Modified: Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:46:01 GMT
[Code]....

I really don't know what does it mean. Question 2: Using netcat, nc(1), start a bogus web server listening on the loopback interface port 8080. Verify with netstat(, that the server really is listening where it should be. Direct your browser to the bogus server and capture the User-Agent: header "Direct your browser to the bogus server and capture the User-Agent: header" I don't understand this question.

CentOS 5 Server :: Loading Multiple Virtual Host Conf Files From Httpd.conf?

Jun 1, 2009

I've been scanning the apache2 docs for the past few days and have not come up with an answer my following issue:

In my httpd.conf file, at the very end, I have the line

Include conf/vhosts/vhost_*.conf

However, when I run apache checkconfig or try to start apache, it gives me the error:

httpd: Syntax error on line 993 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/vhost_1.conf: Permission denied

It appears as if the Include line is correct - in terms of it grabbing the first virtual host conf file. However, I'm confused on the permissions. the /etc/httpd folder is owned by root:root, as are the subfolders. As a test, I chown'd the conf/vhost folder combination and all the vhost files to apache:apache to see if that made a difference, and it appeared to make no difference at all. The log files don't contain anything (assumed because apache isn't starting). If I place the contents of the vhosts in a singular vhosts.conf it works - with the permissions set to root:root. I'd like to avoid having to use one vhosts conf for the configuration I'm trying to achieve - as it would make my life a lot easier.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Multimonitor Gnome 3 Converted From KDE4 11.4?

May 9, 2011

Installed Gnome 3 on my OpenSuse 11.4 KDE laptop. Got two monitors, the built in monitor and the external. Under KDE the second monitor works fine, shows up as VGA1 and can be configured to work as an extended monitor, etc. Under the new Gnome 3 install the monitor shows up in the settings dialog but the monitor itself always says 'no signal' regardless of the configuration I use.

Hardware:

Lenovo R500 running OpenSuse 11.4 64-bit (originally with KDE4 desktop)
4 Gigs ram, built-in Intel video card.

Again, configuration under KDE works fine but under Gnome 3 I don't get a signal to my second monitor. Haven't located any other threads covering this kind of behavior but Google searches indicate that early versions of Gnome 3 had multi-monitor problems.

Software :: No Text Rendered By Adobe Reader In Converted PDF

Sep 1, 2010

I create pdf files, from postscript files created by windows printer drivers:
/usr/local/bin/ps2pdfwr "$PSFILE" "$PDFFILE"
All the pdf files created this way seem to be empty, i.e. no text is rendered by Adobe Reader on the display, if the original document only contains TimesNewRoman font. However, if the document also contains any other font (e.g. Arial), then the whole document will be converted correctly, including TimesNewRoman, and also the other font(s).

In both cases, the following font is in the pdf:
Type: Type 1
Encoding: Custom
Actual Font: TimesNewRomanPSMT
Actual Font Type: True Type
For the time being, I have not found a way to create pdfs that are correct in all respect by ghostscript.

Programming :: BASH Script: Spaces Are Getting Converted To TAB Character?

Dec 23, 2010

I have a BASH shell script with embedded SQL script. The SQL script fetches the data from oracle server and the data contains more than 8 spaces in the value (eg, 28051630 A) and the data is written to flat file using the below syntax:

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -s ${CONNECT_STRING} >${out_file} <<!!
.. sql query..
!!

The problem is that whenever the data is written to ${out_file} spaces are getting converted to TAB character

eg, 10 spaces (in Oracle) converted to 1 TAB and 2 spaces 7 spaces (in Oracle) converted to 1 TAB and 1 space Also, from above example you can see the width of TAB char is not constant (8 in first example and 6 in second example) Is there any way that I can stop shell script to convert spaces into TAB character as I want the data as it is from Oracle DB (i.e. only spaces not TABs)

However, the smb.conf is not updating with the changes I am making. Does anyone know why? It just stays the same no matter what I change. The only way to change it is to edit the smb.conf file itself.

Hardware :: Getting A Radeon Xorg.conf.d/*.conf Stuff?

May 22, 2011

I have used nVidia my entire linux life (about 5 years clean and sober from M$). Recently, I have switched over to an ATI Radeon HD 5550 card. After many trial and error setups, I finally got the resolutions and screens set properly with a xrandr command, which I have now added to a shell script in ~/.kde4/Autostart. It has worked for me for a while now, but I really would like to get it set in the xorg.conf.d files so that I don't have to wait that extra few seconds after login for the screens to fix themselves.

Is there an easy way to take what xrandr does and export it to the xorg.conf.d files? If my video card recognizes my default monitor as DFP2 and the tv that I only sometimes use with this computer as DFP1, how can I ensure that the login screen for openSUSE/KDE4 appears on my default screen (an issue that drove me nuts a few months ago when I tried Ubuntu to see what all the fuss was about)?

My xrandr command that I use to fix it all is:

xrandr --output DFP2 --auto --pos 0x0 --primary --output DFP1 --auto --right-of

I am using the proprietary Radeon driver from the ioda repository. DFP2 is a monitor which has a optimum resolution of 1920x1200, and DFP1 is an 1080p HDTV. I can not reverse the output plugs for the screens even though my monitor is an HDMI monitor because I use the actual HDMI port on the video card to output audio to the television and the other plug is a DVI that I convert to HDMI for the monitor.
