Ubuntu Security :: 10.04 With LDAP Cannot Login Through GDM But Works Fine With Su?
Nov 16, 2010
I have a working LDAP-server (I belive!!) I want my laptops to authenticate against the server, when they logon. That works fine as long as the network is present. But I also want the users to be able to log on, when the network is down. When I go to a terminal (without network) I can su to another LDAP-user.I can login via graphical login-screen with the network attached, but not when it is disconnected.
In a terminal id john gives me information about the user john.
My conf. files looks like this:
/etc/ldap.conf
host 172.16.0.138:389
ldap_version 3
bind_policy soft

So I've configured ldap on Centos5 64 bit and I can run "ldap search" and "gentent passwd" on the client/server and it shows my users info.
But I can't login via the cli or GUI.
I can login by doing;
su - username
at the client or server but I can't login by issuing;
login username
or at the GUI login screen.

I am trying to deploy Kerberos and LDAP so users will be able to login in to a server on the edge of the LAN, and afterwards be able to establish a SSH connection to all the computers in that LAN without the need to type any passwords, and without the need for me to manage SSH keys [beside the SSH keys on the login server] and local user accounts.
1. When i create the users in OpenLDAP i use a template that i created by reading documentation from the Internet. In the template one piece of information that is neede is the UID. Is there any clever way the keep track of the numbers so i do not assign the same UID to two users, besides using a pen and paper?
2. For the users to be able to establish SSH connections between the computers, the host is going to be added to the keytab like this: ktadd host/client.example.com Is is possible to replace client with something genric so i do not need to mange these keytab files between the hosts?
3. Users will be logging on the the server on the edge of LAN by using SSH keys. How can i configure the setup so the users will recieve a ticket automatically when the logon without executing kinit and without entering a password, just by having a valid SSH key?
4. krb5kdc is running on all the network interfaces in the server i want it to only run on eth1, how can this be done?

i have setup auto ssh login for my server. And it works, but only when i have a active connection. if i use "ssh server.com" it asks for my password. If i then open a new terminal and issue "ssh server.com" it logs right in. I really don*t understand whats wrong.
I have tried setting up 2 virtual machines on my local computer and with the same setup it works fine.
SOLVED: my home folder was encrypted, so when no users were logged in the home folder was unmounted

I installed CentOS 5.2 and then run yum update. I configured this server as LDAP/Samba primary domain controller. LDAP seems to be OK and for testing I am able to create users with:smbldap-tools useradd -am usernameI can ssh into the server as root and also as a Linux user which was locally created in the server. But ssh into the server as LDAP user fails (from a Fedora 11 machine) with "Permission denied, please try again", prompting again for password.Some data:
# rpm -qa | grep ldap
python-ldap-2.2.0-2.1
php-ldap-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3

why i can't login on the ldap-client via ldap, so here is a short description of my machines (i use openvz virtualising)I have on the HN (Debian Lenny) 2 VE's, which are in the same subnet (192.168.1.0/24)The first VE (Hostname: ldap1, IP: 192.168.1.91) is the ldap-server, which is so configured, that i can manage the server via phpldapadmin.The second VE (Hostname: ftp1, IP: 192.168.1.31) is the ldap-client, there should run a sftp-server in the future and the sftp-server(ssh-server) should use ldap-usernames to login. on the ftp1, i get with this command getent passwd the users configured on the ldap-server, but with the command id USERNAME the result is, that the user doesn't exist. (USERNAME is this name, i get returned by getent) and if i try to login via ssh, i get permission denied. and because the machines are openvz-virtual-machines, so i can't login on them like on a normal system, but a su USERNAME doesn't work too, because the user is not known on the system.
my installation:
i don't think, that the ldap-server is the problem, because the phpldapadmin and getent on ftp1 are working perfectly, but if you want, i can post the config here too. the VE ftp1 was configured with the following how-to: [URL] and pam is configured like in the chapter "PAM setup with pam_ldap" on [URL]

Basically i set up a webserver using this tutorial but installed ubuntu 10.10 [URL]
im using charter cable and it has that ubee router. when i tried to set up the static ip the closest thing i saw was an option called static ip lease in which input my servers local address and mac address and checked enable. then i applied dmz to my servers local ip. after that i typed in my public ip and to my excitement it worked. so i began creating the website. i dont know if all that is relevant but just in case i didnt want to leave anything out. this is my first time with linux and servers and ive only been at it for about 5 days. anyways i made the website and everything was going good then i needed to reboot the server so i did. after reboot i logged into the server then went back to the other room where i worked on the server using putty from a pc and flashfxp and tried to navigate to the website in firefox. it didnt work. if i try to go to the website address from a computer on my network i get a problem loading page error from firefox and if im on a different network it shows my router page to login and configure. i dont understand how it was working then after reboot it all of a sudden doesnt.
o also i installed gnump3 today before reboot if that is important

This has been bugging me for quite a long time. I need to have a pptp connection to my university. I have tried to locate the error, but this has been a real trouble.
A little bit of history: My girlfriend had a laptop with M$ vista on it with a working PPTP connection. I had a laptop with Ubuntu, with which I couldn't get the PPTP working.
When my laptop crashed, I bought a new one on which I run a dual boot XP SP3 and Ubuntu. I also own a desktop (Dual M$ Win 7 / Ubuntu standard Karmic) and my girfriend also upgraded to Win 7.
Currently, the XP version is the only one on which I can get a connection. Both Ubuntu and the Win 7's give me a GRE proc 47 not received error. I know our router (a DAVOLINK DV2020) is notorious for not sending through GRE proc 47, but this either shouldn't be the case or it shouldn't matter, since I can make a perfect connection through the XP OS.
This is quite a handicap, since we both study at the university for which we require working VPN PPTP connections.
Settings:
Gateway: vpn-eur-pptp.eur.nl
Username: 123456ab@eur.nl
Password: password
Authentication: MSCHAP / MSCHAPv2

On my Acer netbook (AOA-150-1635) the wireless works fine with WinXP, Ubuntu, and used to work with Suse 11.1. I replaced the Suse 11.1 with a clean network install of Suse 11.2. I couldn't get the wireless to work and did another network install using the wireless. When the install was completed I could not get the wireless to work with Suse 11.2. When I run the "collectNWData.sh" it shows--
!!! CND0120E: Network card wlan0 has no IP address
wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
[code].....
I looked up error CD0120E and changed the network devices setup to "traditional". The wireless "scan" picked up the routers and I added the encryption keys. Still no joy. I ran "collectNWData.sh" again and it said it is better to use the Network Manager.
!!! CND0180I: The system can't ping external IP address 195.135.220.3
!!! CND0150E: There might be a problem with the default gateway definition 10.1.1.1 on interface eth0
[code]....
Going back to Yast, Network Devices, I set Network Manager. The result is that it is back to the beginning with "collectNWData.sh" giving the original error.

I've got 9.04 and 9.10 both installed on the same machine. The /home directory is on a separate partition, so both OSes use the same /home.I can't get Compiz to work at all in 9.10, even though it's been perfectly fine in 9.04. Is there a backport of some sort that i should install?The fixes I've found all point to editing the xorg.conf file, but of course, Karmic doesn't have an xorg.conf file.I've tried reinstalling the Compiz files, reinstalled the open-source video drivers, installed/uninstalled fglrx drivers a few times, rebooted dozens of times.

Though I had solved this but I was premature. Here are the details. When I use HDMI to connect to my lcd TV it works fine in Windows7. (I have dual partitions W7/Ubuntu),but when I boot into Ubuntu and use HDMI, nothing happens.
lori@lori-laptop:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
[Code]...
also when I open the Gnome Alsa Mixer, under the HDMI tab, there is just a blank screen. I believe I have the latest Alsa releases.

My Windows machine can ping Ubuntu by name, but Ubuntu can only ping the Windows machine by using it's IP address. This was working fine in both directions until I purged Samba. After purging Samba, I couldn't ping in either direction unless I used the IP address. I did some reading and found that Samba provides NetBIOS functionality that allows the machines to resolve host names without a DNS. Since I'm not running a local DNS, I decided to reinstall Samba. Unfortunately, I've not been able to restore it to full working condition. I don't want to use hosts files as all the IP addresses are assigned automatically by DHCP. I want to be able to access the Windows machine by name.

I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed for some time now and I don't boot my Win7 machine in weeks!I love how solid, robust it is... and also how good it looks.Love the features like Ubuntu One (use it a lot!) and the Software Center. I'm 95% converted and I would be 100% if it weren't for 2 issues:
1 - The machine won't shutdown. Rebooting works fine but shutdown it just hangs... Kinda sucks having to press the Power Off button every time...
2 - I'm on a laptop but it doesn't recognize my battery. All I get is a "electric ray" on the panel. Even if I remove AC power it still does the same... No charging information, nothing... I tried
Code:
sudo modprobe pmu_battery
on the terminal but is says that the module could not be found.
Everything else works terrific (better than Windows!) with this two exceptions...

I have to report that I am unhappy with the idea of taking away Gnome. I use a tablet, thus I use CellWriter. CellWriter works fine on 11.04 in Gnome but not in Unity. Additionally, CellWriter uses a system tray icon, which doesn't exist in Unity. I don't like my destop experience in Unity. It doesn't agree with the way I interact with my computer.We have Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu. I would like to request that we fork a Unity distro and keep a Gnome desktop for users to choose.

New build to F12. Sound was fine in F11. Now, massive distortion. I have tried every possible permutation of settings. With the main volume control in the top taskbar, there are two positions of level setting where the audio drops to a normal level and sounds OK but any application changing the level or starting to use the Pulseaudio changes the level and its loud and massively distorted again.
In the Pulseaudio manager->sink->alsaoutput.pci-0000-00-11.5.analog-stereo -> properties-> show volume meter, the audio is always maxed out in level. I have tried everything, its unworkable right now. Its possible to start alsamixer from terminal and adjust settings for good audio but any future change reverts to distortion. All changes in Pulseaudio Dev mgr or vol control etc change the audio as they should but do not affect the problem.

System:Tri-head, dual-card: GeForce 9500 GT, GeForce 8400 GS
Dual-boot: openSUSE 11.4, Ubuntu Natty
Driver: nvidia proprietary (260.19.44 in openSUSE, 270.30 in Ubuntu due to kernel version)
xorg.conf: same for both
Results: All three heads work just fine in Natty; secondary screen fails in openSUSE:
Code:
[25.164] (EE) NVIDIA(1): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:2:0:0. Please
[25.164] (EE) NVIDIA(1): check your system's kernel log for additional error
[25.164] (EE) NVIDIA(1): messages and refer to Chapter 8: Common Problems in the
[25.164] (EE) NVIDIA(1): README for additional information.
[25.164] (EE) NVIDIA(1): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device!
[25.164] (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
[25.164] (II) UnloadModule: "wfb"
[25.164] (II) UnloadModule: "fb"
But nothing is jumping out at me in the output of dmesg. I also don't see any additional system or kernel logs in /var/log. I'll google some more on that front. One other fun fact: nvidia-settings fails to run in openSUSE. Unless I launch it under gdb. Then it starts up and runs as expected. (And the second screen ain't there, as expected.) Here's (what I think are) the relevant items:
Xorg.0.log - Pastebin.com
dmesg - Pastebin.com
xorg.conf - Pastebin.com
Additional output available upon request.

i'm running 10.04 x64, with the latest versions of google chrome, chromium, opera, epiphany, firefox, and swiftfox.
strangely, flashplayer works fine in all of them except swiftfox, where it presents a garbled, unclickable video window (tested in videos).
all my other ff addons and plugins seem to work ok in swiftfox, so i assumed that swiftfox is just reading and using everything in ~/.mozilla, including flash. but perhaps not. anyone have any idea why ff's flashplayer doesn't work in swiftfox?

I have an Acer Aspire One AOA110 (SSD version that came w/ Linpus Lite) that my brother gave to me several months back when it stopped working. I've been trying various ways to revive it or make it useable, but haven't had any luck so I figure it's time to look to the community for ideas. I have already updated the BIOS to the latest (v3310) version, so I don't think it's the common issue these netbooks have where they don't even post. I'm kind of thinking the GPU died halfway or something. If I could just get it to work in a command line only mode, I'd be happy.
The netbook will post fine, but when I try to boot into Linux, the screen will go blank part way through the boot process. I don't ever remember hearing sound afterwards so I don't know if just the screen is blank or if the computer is locked up as well. I have tried several distros, but all of them seem to run into the same issue. Some with text based installers (Debian) get all the way through the install, but won't get all the way through the boot process. I'm only trying to get to a command line, not into X or anything graphical. Arch Linux also uses a text based installer, but I couldn't even get into the installer before the screen goes blank. I've tried changing some of the kernel options such as nomodeset, vesa and framebuffers options, but didn't have much luck with them either. I've also tried some older versions of Ubuntu (I think back to either 8.04 or 8.10) and tried the text installs, but I can't remember if I couldn't get into the installer or if I just couldn't boot, I want to say I couldn't even install. Mind you it's not random, it's always at the same point for a particular distro.
So the other small twist to this all is that FreeDOS works fine, besides not being able to get the sound card or network card working. I can play games, set different resolutions in ZSNES, etc. This seems a little odd to me, but I'm hoping it makes perfect sense to someone reading this.
I want to be able to run Linux with a command line interface, but I can't find the right distro/settings/whatever that it stays in the video mode (vesa?/framebuffer only?/I'm not even sure what to search for) where I keep the display and get to a command line. Any thoughts on what's happening when the screen goes blank or what I can do to get Linux working on here again?

I am unable to connect to a WEP-protected network. the Network manager log shows either a DHCP timeout, or a failure to associate. (attached below).Changing to WPA is not an option, as the network is not controlled by me. This is with the rt61pci driver for a Ralink 2500 series chipset.(Rosewill RNX-G300EX card)Manually forcing an IP does not result in a connection either. This is with the latest OpenSuSE 11.4, all patches applied. Router is a D-Link DIR-613, and I know the passphrase I'm using is correct because it connects both on my Android (what else?) phone, and my lappy when I boot XP.

I have to hold a presentation using a projector in a few days and I have to bring my own laptop, so I tried hooking up a second monitor to test if it works. As it turns out, the second monitor works fine, but then my main screen is messed up. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and I'm doing this on a HP Pavilion DV4000 laptop. My main screen shows just the bottom (cca) 400 pixels of the wallpaper, no bottom panel, no desktop icons. And I'm kind of scared to remove the second monitor now cause I don't know what I'll do if I don't get the main screen back.. Well, other than installing 9.10 beta that is..

I installed Ubuntu (10.04) today and it has gone smoothly except for the fact that I can't connect to the Internet when in Ubuntu (connection works fine in Windows XP). I am using a wireless USB card (Linksys WUSB600N) to connect.
The weird thing is that the card detects all the local networks, asks me for a password to my network, and it even says it is connected to my network after I put the password in -- but when I open Firefox no pages will load.
There is another weird quirk as well: Ubuntu will not restart or shut down properly (it hangs around indefinitely with the little white / orange dots going across the screen) unless I first remove the wireless card from the USB slot. But that doesn't bother me as badly as the lack of Internet.

My sound was previously working, but the microphone was glitching when using skype.
