Since loading Lucid I keep getting pestered with a request to provide a password as the screen is blank.When installing Lucid and applying the Ubuntu-Restricted-Extras the screen went blank during the process and again there was the need to provide a password.Is there some way that I can avoid this continuous need to keep providing this information? It tends to be a pain in the backside.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI switched to Kubuntu with the upgrade to Lucid. After a couple updates, I started getting a "Gnome looking" unlock screen on my desktop at start-up. I get the regular KDE keyring password request and a second that looks like the Gnome keyring. I don't know how this happened. I checked in Synaptic and found the gnome-keyring was installed. Can I uninstall this or will that cause problems?

The more I use ubuntu more times I'm requested to provide the keyring password. Now, this time, i've typed 7 times!
is there a way to limit this nighmare. Every time I bootup i got tired.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy computer is recently asking for my 'default keyring password'to get access to the internet. It never used to do this as I am single user and never created a keyring password as far as I know. I dont even use a login password.Luckily i tried my administrator password and that unlocks my keyring but I would like to get it back to no password or auto unlock mode.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I user wants to navigate through the internet, he must first give his username and password. The password is sent in clear text. I would like to encrypt this using SSL (or an other solution already integrated in Squid). Is this possible in Squid?I read that "user_cert" option can do this, but I couldn't configure it.I have: acl myacl user_cert src 192.168.1.5Which gives: "aclParseAclLine: Invalid ACL type 'user_cert'"The other solution is probably tunneling, but I don't want to install special software on the client machines
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently switched from centos to fedora as my server choice. Probably not the best decision but I like trying new things. Now before I switched I had my samba server setup just they way I wanted it. Now I'm having a hard time getting it back to that way. Here is my smb.conf
Code:
[global]
workgroup = workgroup
netbios name = netbios name
server string = Linux Server
security = user
wins support = yes
encrypt passwords = Yes
domain logons = yes
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = yes
writable = yes
valid users = %S
[me]
path = /home/me
read only = no
public = yes
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
browseable = yes
writable = yes
Now I did throw away my old smb.conf because it wasn't that complicated and I figured I could reproduce it.. aside from that everything is working except for the fact that I can access any share I want to listed without it requesting a password. I have a username and password setup with smbpasswd and I think everything else is setup correctly involving samba shares but I have no idea why it won't request a password.
Basically I want to change the resolution on my computer as the desktop is partially lost off of the screen. The needed resolution is not available so I am attempting to add a new resolution. I have used the [URL] for information on how to do this. I am completely new to Ubuntu and entering code so a TON of the results online have meant jibberish to me as people leave out the basics which I cannot find. Here is what I've done so far in the terminal...
I enter:
xrandr
I get:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 698mm x 392mm
1920x1080 60.0*+
1920x1080i 30.0
1280x720 60.0
2020x1180_60.00 (0x169) 200.0MHz
h: width 2024 start 2160 end 2376 total 2728 skew 0 clock 73.3KHz
v: height 1180 start 1183 end 1193 total 1224 clock 59.9Hz
I enter:
xrandr --newmode <Mode''Line>
I get:
bash: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'
Already I see an error message though without knowing what else to do I try to continue the code as follows...
I enter:
cvt 2020 1180
I get:
# 2024x1180 59.90 Hz (CVT) hsync: 73.31 kHz; pclk: 200.00 MHz
Modeline "2024x1180_60.00" 200.00 2024 2160 2376 2728 1180 1183 1193 1224 -hsync +vsync
At this point I see it shows 2024x1180 when I actually entered 2020x1180 which I find odd, though I try the next part with both 2024 and 2020 with same results.
I enter:
xrandr --newmode "2020x1180_60.00" 200.00 2024 2160 2376 2728 1180 1183 1193 1224 -hsync +vsync
I normally get no response after with a blank cursor, though one time I got:
X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
Major opcode of failed request: 150 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 16 (RRCreateMode)

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a crippled file system after a disk failure and attempt at repairing. Currently the Web Server is running, however I cannot open the filesystem to explore files and view. I am going to do a fresh install this weekend and upgrade system. I have two questions I hope this forum will help with. (Installing new disk and entire server)
1). Can someone tell me how I could copy the http.config file so that I can view my settings from terminal (This took me forever to get right for my environment to get shtml and cgi files to run correctly and I don't wish to lose). I am running Fedora 8, I'm also not sure of the location. (I'm fairly new to linux and not great with the terminal, however that is the only access working.) It would be great if someone added the terminal commands. If I can copy them I could email to my email address.
2). In the past when I have copied web files (web sites) over to the www directory the permission would be incorrect. Is it possible to write some of the web sites to CD (Disk burner is working) and then copy to the new system with permissions correct? Would you give a little how to all web sites are in the www directy. I think that is etc/www/"webdomain name" One thing I might add is all drives will fail it is just when...
Reading local pdf files with okular.
However, when I visited this site [IMG=http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/4708/snapshot1u.png][/IMG](consisting of a pdf file), I am unable to view the site.
Only, upon installing acroread, the site/file is then visible.
Note that BEFORE installing acroread, the site can be viewed with konqueror. [IMG=http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/1353/snapshot2hh.png][/IMG]

We are setting up virtual Ubuntu 10 machines that will just be used to launch a portal to our servers.

If I could do that it would greatly improve security on keeping users from getting to places we don't want them into

View 1 Replies View Relatedhow to get the terminal displayed on my serverbox to show up in a terminal on my laptop. I have a minecraft server running on ubuntu server edition 10.04 on a headless server. I also have a monitor, but it's a big bulky CRT and my girlfriend doesn't like having a huge amount of stuff tucked behind our chair where the router is (wifi wasn't working right, nor is it stable).
Essentially, when I ssh into the box, it creates a new terminal for me to input things on. That's nice when I need to edit stuff in the background, but when I want to input commands on the server directly, there's no real way to do that without blindly typing on my keyboard on the box itself. Not to mention, I can't see anything if something goes wrong. A friend of mine mentioned the 'screen' command, and that sort of works I guess, but it still doesn't show the minecraft server output, nor let me input.
tl:dr;
is there a way to get a physical terminal output to display on a remote ssh terminal screen?
