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

From my laptop I use at work, I exported the ".pcf" file I use with Cisco VPN Client.
I downloaded vpnc using Ubuntu 10.10, imported that pcf file (all of the settings were there). Tried to connect, and it gives me the error saying
The VPN Connection 'Work VPN' failed because there were no valid VPN secrets..

I recently installed KDE and just found that it cannot connect to my school wireless which uses WPA2.
It keep asking Secretes for , even after I input everything correctly. It works fine with not secured wireless.In Gnome there was no problem with connecting to this wireless service.

I keep getting this error message:
The VPN connection '<insert name here>' failed because of invalid VPN secrets
I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on a Dell Latitude D600. It's a fresh brand new install. After I installed all the updates, I proceeded to install network-manager-vpnc. Then, I imported .pcf files so that I can connect to the office VPN,but it gives me the error message above.I have gone to ~/.gnome2/keyrings and renewed everything.Tried moving them away, and then back again. Created a new keyring. Nothing.

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.

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

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

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.

I am trying to setup a dhcp server for my internal network. I have two NICs, a modem, and a wireless router. I have my server connected directly to my modem which is providing me with Internet access on eth1 and is working fine. I have dhcp and dns setup on eth0 which is connected to my router. The router shows that it is connected to the Internet but when the router gives a client computer an IP address, the client is unable to connect to the Internet but can connect to the router. I will post my configuration files below with my current configuration.

I had put my computer on standby and when i restarted it, it powered off within a few seconds. I turned it back on and after that i've lost connectivity to internet on Ubuntu 10.04.
However I have VMware (XP) installed and internet/network works on that. I'm a newbie with Linux.
Here are some outputs:
I have tried to edit the connection using System>Preferences>Network Connections. I entered manual settings for IPV4, but whatever i enter there, it doesnt get reflected when i type ifconfig in the terminal window. I tried setting it to Automatic DHCP as well. Doesnt work.

I've recently set up a local development webserver using Karmic Koala. I downloaded and installed the server version of Kubuntu and have the web server working.
The problem is that for some reason, I'm no longer able to connect to the internet. I can connect to my router, and other machines in my network can VNC into the server.
I'm using an wired connection to the router and have the server set up on an internal IP of 192.168.0.100. I used to be able to connect to the internet, I downloaded and installed a load of packages etc before it stopped working.
The last thing I remember doing before it stopped working was that I installed Samba so I could share files with the other machines on the network (two Macs running Leopard and a WinXP laptop).
I got the share working - I copied a load of files to the server via the share, rebooted, and for some reason now I can't connect to the net (and other machines can't see the Samba share either.) However I can still VNC into the server.

I'm having a problem installing Tor. I've installed it successfully a few times before thanks the excellent guide at: [URL] The error I'm having is when I request the gpg key:
Code:
ocean@ubuntu:~$ gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv 886DDD89
gpg: requesting key 886DDD89 from hkp server keys.gnupg.net
Then after quite a delay all I get now (instead of "OK") is:
Code:
gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect to host
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0

I use Ubuntu in my office NIS environment and I can't upgrade the whole network to LDAP right. I upgraded to 10.04 recently and reinstalled the NIS client and associated packages, among other things.
I have set up my /etc/nsswitch.conf file so that passwd, group and shadow all have "files nis", I'm bound to the correct NIS domain and I can do "ypcat -k passwd" or "ypcat -k hosts" just fine.
Problem is that I can't log on or su to any NIS user, I just get "authentication failure". I've tried the same usernames and passwords on Red Hat NIS clients on the same domain and they work fine.

Both the source and destination folders are valid. There are several folders in the niftyfiftyparty modules folder that I need in the other one.

I have lubuntu 11.04 (much the same as Ubuntu Natty 11.04), and I am trying to install Minitube. I found a package in package manager, but it turns out to be version 1.3, two versions outdated. I am now trying to upgrade via ppa and terminal, but it turned out to be rather difficult. I have followed guidelines I found googling, but neither of them resulted in anything. I get error messages like "command not valid", or I get lost some where in the process when something doesn't run as smoothly.

I have following setup on a ubuntu machine.
- Fetchmail collects emails and notifies procmail
- Procmail forwards this mail to a perl script which extracts the attachments
- then this script executes the bugzilla importxml.pl with the attachments.
This works like a charm on the ubuntu machine. Unfortunately I now have been forced to rebuild this setup on a oracle linux. Well, I can run the imports from terminal as root user. The import works well.But if fetchmail trigges procmail and the the perl scripts become executet I get following error:
Code:
'oracle' is not a valid choice for $db_driver in localconfig: Can't load 'lib/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so' for module DBD::Oracle: libclntsh.so.10.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
at Bugzilla/DB/Oracle.pm line 41
[code]...
The path "lib/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so" is right if you go from the importxml.pl but if perl realy looks on this as absolute path to oracle.so then its clear that the file is not there... Again. The script works if I call it manually. So whats the difference between manual call and call through the process described at the beginning? Something seems to be different in the perl environment. The .procmailrc lies in /root and fetchmail is startet manually by the root user in the terminal (for testing). So I thing at the end its in both ways the same user who calls importxml.pl...
