Ubuntu :: Resetting NSS User Private Key In Evolution In 10.10?
Nov 12, 2010
I'm trying to reset the password that Evolution prompts you for when working with certs.Specifically, the "Enter the password for 'NSS User Private Key and Certificate Services'" password. I followed the instructions here, but they seem to be out of date. The files cert8.db, key3.db, and secmod.db are not in my ~/.evolution, nor was I able to find any files with those names in any folder referencing evolution in my home folder.
I have forgotten my user password....HOWEVER I remembered the root password and am able, (after much fumbling about)to get into the machine. Is there a way of resetting my password? It obviously will not let me do so on the password-reset-screen as it requires the old password....
When I go to single user mode for resetting root password, It ask root pawssword for login.The message displayed on prompt is "Give root password for login.On the boot prompt, I select kernel and press 'e' and after one space type 1 for single User mode and then press 'b' for booting.It shows message entering in single user mode but ask root password. Even I tried into rescue mode, but I couldn't ser root password.In rescue mode on prompt, It shows rescue login: I typed root, But when typed 'passwd' foe resetting root pawssword,It shows message unknown user and not authetication.
I use U.10.4. I have to take over the work of another, but all I have is the Hard Drive from that machine. Because the two positions are separate, I do not want to Import his Evolution over my own - but, I do want to be able to access it from my machine. Can my Evolution refer to the old hard drive (now in a caddy and non-bootable) for the Evolution account data that is there, while still being able to switch back to my own Evolution data on demand. E.G. in Windows the equivalent would be the way that Outlook can refer to different .pst files at loading. Alternatively, can I make the external USB drive (previously a running main HDD) bootable without losing all of the data?
Anyone had any issues with connection to LDAP server from evolution as a normal user, but if evolution is started as sudo/root it works fine. This is on 10.10
I've been running the Evolution mail system under Fedora-15/KDE for about a month now, and it has some very serious problems. I just noticed that it is available for SUSE, and figured that since KDE is the principal desktop supported by KDE the SUSE version may be fixed. Before I go through the very tedious process of getting the SUSE version to compile on Fedora, I'd like to know whether anyone has seen these problems with the SUSE version of Evolution:It ignores font control from the KDE Settings->Applications Appearance window, both KDE font control and GTK+ font control, also its own internal font control window.
It has trouble sending messages to an SMTP server, sometimes taking a l-o-n-g time, sometimes timing out. This can be temporarily cured by restarting it It crashes when a filter attempts to refile an outgoing message. It often asks if I want to recover messages that have never been lost. It often locks up receiving mail from a remote POP3 server. I can live with these, except for items 1 and 2, since I have workarounds. If you are fairly sure that you have not seen these problems with the SUSE version of Evolution
I had configured the evolution to send/recive email. After it had been configured, it could receive emails. Suddendly it can't fetch email anymore. In the inbox of evolution, there were about 200 emails. There are maybe 5K emails in the server, I guessed. I'm not sure whether it's the problem that there's one email in the server too big, so the evolution can not fetch it. The error of evolution is: error while fetching email. Evolution version: Evolution 2.28.0. OS version: Linux xxx2.6.32.9-70.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Wed Mar 3 04:57:21 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I'm sure my network is fine, I use pop3 to receive email.

So I was fiddling around with things earlier today, trying to figure out how to use ssh to remotely view a desktop, and I accidentally set the DISPLAY property to something else using Code: export DISPLAY=something I can't remember.But I don't know how to set it back, nor what it should be set back to.
A simple and small problem but annoying all the same...I don't like having the downloads/pictures etc bookmarks in the places menu so I remove them but every time I restart my machine they come back.
I am using a Canon MP560 and every time I try to print something I have to go back into the printer settings and change the settings from "From Driver" to grayscale and it is really annoying. How to I set it so it stays like that?
i tried to update my evolution from 2.30.? to 2.32.1 usning
ppa ppa:julenlanda/evolution
Because the exchange plugin didn't work i uninstalled evolution and removed the ppa. Now when i try to install evolution from the software centre i get this: Package dependencies cannot be resolved This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time. it asks me if I want to repair the catalog, i say yes.
I have a piranha magnum mp3 player which is connected with usb cable. When i connect the player it's resetting. dmesg output;
Code: [11326.752063] usb 2-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2 [11326.964442] usb 2-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [11327.742086] Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... [11327.742319] scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
I have Lucid. I played with compiz and emerald. I put everything back. But my theme is no longer as it was before I started. Similar, but the icon set and windows are a little different. Under 'appearance' the theme, which I'm told is called 'light' isn't visible. And I don't know the original icon set. How can I restore my desktop to look as it did on installation.
I added two lines on the Xcorg.conf file to try and add forward/back buttons on my mouse but after I restarted Ubuntu will not boot past the splash screen. Can I reset Xcorg.conf in recovery mode to undo things?
10.10 x64. This did not occur before I dist-upgraded from 10.04.I use a USB headset that has always "just worked," as long as I have it selected under both Input and Output in Sound Preferences.Now, periodically I'll hear a pop in my headset, the music/sound will mute for a second, and then come back louder. What's happening is that in Sound Preferences, the default selections are being reset. The sound comes back louder because of my volume settings. Additionally, on boot I run a script to set a few keybindings I use for Ventrilo. When all of this happens, I have to run this script again to get the bindings back.
To fix it, I have to go into sound preferences, select my headset in both Input and Output, fiddle with the volume so it returns to normal, and then rerun my binding script.My first guess was that the headset's connection is "farting", like it'd do a disconnect/reconnect, and Ubuntu deals with it by selecting visible hardware. But I can't for the life of me reproduce it. It just happens randomly.I guess it's possible that the script's issue is related to ventrilo/wine, and not a direct result of this sound issue. I'm mentioning it in case it isn't.I reproduced it by pulling the USB cable out and putting it back in. So there's either a short or Ubuntu is resetting the USB port periodically. Does it drop ports like that?
As said in the subject, desktop decoration settings keeps resetting after rebooting. For me it is quite boring and annoying. Why it happens? Ubuntu should keeps my preferences (as in previous versions - my Ubu 10.10, Unity)
i recently installed ubuntu 10.10 64-bit on my laptop and installed all the drivers and updates i saw. When i first started it up my top panel was a solid gray and had a classic look, i saw online that i had to do Alt-F2, type gconf-editor then go to apps,panel,global click locked down, then i log out, log back in and it is fixed with my system theme. after i restart my computer it has the same classic look, and i have to go back to gconf, log out, relog, log out, relog and it finally works. why is it doing this?
After installing Windows 7 I didn't know how to restore GRUB and I installed a new Ubuntu 10.4, so that now the former installation is in 6th position on the booting screen.I tried to edit the "menu.lst" but, now in Grub 1.9 I can't find the "menu.lst"
I tried to adjust my system clock to daylight savings time, but now everytime I restart the computer it's reset. For example, I set the clock to 11:40 AM, Mon. 15 Feb. Upon restart, it's now 12:05 AM, Tue. 16 Feb. I've readjusted the clock several times, and it resets at every reboot.
I have a problem with my client PC. PC has a static ip 10.162.41.159 (supplied by editing and saving eth0 file, not by command line) in LAN. netmask is 10.162.41.128 and gateway is 10.162.41.129. My problem is after rebooting, ip is resetting into 10.162.41.130. It happens after rebooting even network cable is removed!!!if i restart network service ip will reassigned into 10.162.41.159. i dont know why this happens.
My problem is I need a broad method to reset the rpm database on my [almost] up-to-date RHEL 5 WS system.
I do not fiddle around with installing new things on this system or perform strange configurations.
A little over a week ago, I started encountering packages in conflict. I entered a RHEL help desk ticket that has been open for over a week. The person assigned the ticket is trying to clear one error at a time.
Once I remove the package in conflict, I get pending transactions; follow the instructions to clear those; and then get more conflicts. I'd like to reset everything without re-installing.
In Ubuntu 10.04 using Document Viewer 2.30.0 I've noticed that every time I open the program or a PDF file I haven't opened before the window size seems to reset to default. Thumbnails sidebar re-enables, view goes back to "Fit Page Width" and the actual size of the window goes back to being very small (default).
I was curious about the XF86Home shortcut for home folder, so I switched to Alt+Home. That's great, but just curious, how do you reset it to the default settings?There should be a configuration file somewhere, but anybody knows where exactly?
I upgraded Ubuntu a few times now (since 7.10) - and it still seems to be going well. I really enjoy some of the new features in Lucid - Ubuntu just keeps getting better! I dual-boot with Windows, but I use Ubuntu much more than I do Windows. I have a minor problem - my resolution keeps on re-setting itself to 1440x900 rather than 1920x1200. I think I've managed to isolate the problem. I have a single monitor, a DELL 2408wfp. I have the VGA and DVI connectors connected to the monitor at the same time - primarily because I could not get DVI to work under Karmic. I have disabled the VGA mode, so that only DVI is being used (i.e. I did this via ATI Catalyst Control Center).
When the computer boots, the screen defaults to 1440x900, on DVI. I use ATI Catalyst Control Center to change the resolution. Strangely enough, the ATI Catalyst Control Center tells me that 1920x1200 is the "Preferred" resolution. I select the preferred resolution, and it stays at that resolution until I reboot. On re-boot, the resolution changes back to 1440x900. Suspected theory is as follows:
1. Computer starts up. Computer says "do I have VGA signal"? If so, display in VGA for the BIOS setup, boot menu etc. 2. Gnome kicks in and determines it's in VGA mode. VGA likes to use 1440x900 because it feels like it. Computer changes resolution to 1440x900. 3. Gnome says "I should be using DVI mode, change to DVI". 4. What Lucid Lynx forgets to ask is "what resolution should I be using for DVI" - and uses the VGA resolution instead.
I tested this theory by removing the VGA cable from the monitor and re-booting. For the first time ever, Ubuntu booted into 1920x1200. I don't consider my work-around to be a fix, because I'm putting wear and tear on my VGA cable - as without VGA, I don't have fall-back if the DVI display driver stops working again.
I'm facing bit of a conundrum with my new server. It is essentially a distributed-virtual Plesk Virtuoso container with a rather simple LAMP setup (PHP5 etc) and virtual hosting. Running 10.04 LTS.
The issue is that on each reboot, the /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname files are reset with their original configs causing the virtual hosting to break, i.e. rather than hosting the vhosts correctly, it essentially routes all traffic to /var/www, or essentially 000-default ~ this beats the whole point of vhosting in the first place!
Is there any way to get around them being overwritten at boot? A very crude workaround would be to set a script to load at boot via init.d and have it rewrite both files to their correct configs - of course, I have no idea as to the point during boot at which they get replaced.
Every time I start up my webcam in cheese, a folder is created called 'Webcam' in my home folder, and if this folder is deleted, it will be recreated when another session is started, i would ideally like to just have this folder hidden but if i do that then it will be recreated, so is there anyway of having the folder created as a hidden .Webcam? there is no option for this in the cheese menu.
When I sudo apt-get install['ed] kolourpaint, I had to download all the stuff necessary for a KDE environment, I think. When I restarted the machine, everything went from black to light grey. Even NetworkManager went from the three or four curves to the pair of blue monitor computers. How do I restore the desktop environment settings?Since things changed after a command-line instruction, feel free to post the appropriate command-line instruction.
I'm setting the root window background to a gradient with the following command:
Code:
DISPLAY=:0 fbsetroot -gradient Elliptic -from blue -to black
What I would like to do next is to display a small logo in the center of the background without resetting the root window background color. Right now I tried the following two commands and they both reset the root window to a solid color... I would like to keep the gradient color.
Code:
vmsetbg -e logo.png # resets the root window fbsetbg -c logo.png # also does the same thing
I cannot use just a single image because the same image has to look good on all screen sizes from netbooks to 52" TVs
I have been using Fedora 14, which has Evolution 2.32.1 but have recently also installed openSUSE 11.3, which has Evolution 2.30.1.2. I would like to make openSUSE my primary distribution, and so I would like to restore my Evolution settings from Fedora, but Evolution complains that the backup file is invalid. I have tried copying the folders in the backup to their appropriate locations in openSUSE with no luck. I have also tried manually copying with instructions for older versions of openSUSE, but with no luck.
An obvious guess at what might be the problem seems to be that I am trying to restore settings from a newer version to an older version? An obvious thing to try would be to upgrade to Evolution 2.32, but Evolution has a long list of dependencies so before jumping into that fun I thought I would ask if anyone else has had similar problems and found a straight-forward solution. I still have access to my emails in Fedora so this is not hugely pressing, and if upgrading to 11.4 will do the trick then I can just wait for that.
