Ubuntu Servers :: Script To Restart And Bypass Password On Startup?
Feb 7, 2010
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 as a web/ftp/etc server. I like to work on stuff from remote locations and have set it up to be accessed it with the external IP address by my laptop.The problem is that if I'm at a remote location and tell it to restart, when it boots up it won't log me on unless I enter the password, but I can't remote access it until I'm logged in.So, is there a command or script that I can run that will tell it to restart and bypass entering a login password?I'm only looking for something to bypass it ONCE per command/script, NOT to disable my password.

I realise that passwords are a good thing but I'm getting fed up having to enter a password just to get my wireless network to work every time I switch on Ubuntu or when I log out and back in again.
Seeing as there is nobody in the house that I want to keep away from the computer, is there a way to automatically sign-in to my wireless network without having that annoying key-chain popping up every time?

On startup - prompt asking for apache certificate password doesn't accept input. Can switch to another tty but can't restart apache due to the port already being bound (suppose I could change ports for apache config after startup but that's pretty ugly and clearly not the right way to address the problem.

I love My linux OS, and I carry It with me all the time in USB. I used to be able to boot from USB in the University computers, but not any more. Now it required Admin password in order to boot from CD or USB. I tried The VMWare, but I didn't like it. Is there any way I can get around it.

I don't know if this is Just my Machine, or not. But here is it:
Ubuntu 10.01
Acer Aspire 7740
When the computer is locked. I can smiply go to switch users. when the list of users logins are shown all i have to do is click on my user name and it allows me into my account without typing in a password. I can lock the computer manually or wait for it to time out it doesn't matter. the switch users method allows me to bypass the password protection.

I'm trying to jump Ubuntu Server 10.04.1 x86_64 on an HP DL360 G5. After loading the modules for install, I'm greeted with an iSCSI prompt that cannot be bypassed. Hitting Finish brings me right back to the same iSCSI prompt.The issue seems to be identical to y kickseed file is as follows:
Code:
#platform=x86, AMD64, or Intel EM64T
# System authorization information
[code]....

I recently installed Ubuntu (the full version). I liked Wubi a lot, but that's because I just had to press down and enter during startup. After uninstalling it, I went to the full version, but that's been giving me more trouble than Wubi, lol.
First, it replaced my Windows Boot Manager with GRUB (which IMO sucks because it takes like 15 seconds to load the menu and it lags when you want to press an arrow key). Second, it screwed up my Windows (the first time I started up Windows I got like 50 lines of errors and after that I had to do the disk check thing but now it works). I use Vista x32, and when I try to boot into Windows it gets to the (C)Microsoft with the green loading bars thing and after about 5-10 seconds my computer randomly (without warning, the screen just turns black) restarts. Goes back to the BIOS menu, a full restart.
My first priority is to get Windows fully running without restarts during boot time. Then I'd like to use Windows boot manager to start Ubuntu (I checked with EasyBCD, Ubuntu doesn't show in WBM.
Oh BTW, dual-booting ubuntu 10.04 and WinVista SP2.

I have recently reinstalled Ubuntu 10.10 with Compiz and emerald themes. I've replaced the default window manager in Compiz with emerald and everything works fine until I shut down and restart. The I have no window theme at all. If I go to the window decorator and reinstall the default manager and then once more enter emerald --replace everything is fine until the next time I restart. I guess that I could just leave everything running but that's not the kind of guy I am. can you give me a hand here?

why my .xprofile is not being run at startup or after I restart my X session? It has all the right permissions. Is there some other Fedora equivalent to .xprofile?

I have been having a small problem since I upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic, whenever I shutdown or restart, root password is required due to multiple users being logged-in.
I have run ck-list-sessions, however I can not trace where (or what) session 5 is.
Code:
Since I have MythTV installed and there was a similar bug, I tried the following solution without any success: [url].

I did these steps to change my username: I like to directly edit /etc/passwd and /etc/groups
First open a terminal, become root
Code:
sudo -i
Now:
Code:
usermod -d /home/new -m old
sed -i -e 's_old_new_g' /etc/passwd
sed -i -e 's_old_new_g' /etc/group<-
sed -i -e 's_old_new_g' /etc/shadow
My computer shut down after I did the second step and now my password isn't working! I cannot open my home folder or get back to root!

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 on a home network (without internet access)Occasionally I need to restart the print server. Code: xterm -e 'sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart' each time it asks for the password but because this is a closed network, I'd like to dispense with it asking for the user password each time

I have received a webbook this morning and the instructions say that a wizard will allow me to set a password at first startup. This did not happen and a user called 'x' has been created and I do not know the password. How do I reset this so that I am the administrator?

I am writing a script that runs on boot that needs to use scp to get a file. If I run this script after the system boots it works great, scp asks for a password like it should. When this script runs during startup, scp does not ask for a password and so it fails to authenticate. If I use read or mount a LUKS volume at startup the system waits for input like it should. Only scp fails to wait for input.Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to stop it? Switching to key-based authentication is not an option.

not for the typical username and password that I use to log into my computer. It's actually prompting me, upon startup/reboot to have me insert my name and password, in what appears to be the command prompt. I am still a noob with Ubuntu and Linux in general, so I have no idea what I did to make this happen. It's not terrible and zomg if it doesn't get fixed I'll die, but it is slightly inconvenient to have to "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" every time I reboot my computer. Anyone know what I have to do to fix this?I would also like to apologize if this has been covered in another topic, but I could not find anything

I just downloaded Thunderbird 3.1.4 and I think I found a security hole.
Whenever I open Thunderbird, it does not ask me to authenticate my account (not asking for a password)
Is this a bug/security hole or something?
How can I force Thunderbird to ask me for my gmail password at startup?
Oh!!! and where can I report this security hole?

Any time I try and restart the Shorewall it takes forever. Sometimes I have to reboot the File Server as its faster.In the shorewall-init.log it seems to stick on the loading modules and goes no further. Anyone come accross this before.I have Ubunut 8.04LTS - everything seemed to be working OK until I installed NFS, NIS, AUTOFS - but I can't be 100% sure.

I recently installed Server 10.10 64-bit. After installation, I set up my config file (/etc/samba/smb.conf), and tried to restart Samba:
Code:
/etc/init.d/samba restart
There was nothing to restart though - the file /etc/init.d/samba wasn't there!
Purged the package and re-installed. Tried reformatting and adding Samba as a pre-installed package. Trying to find the server guide for 10.10, but no dice. Did something change for Samba in 10.10?

When ever I restart ssh
Quote:
/etc/init.d/ssh restart
I see following line in auth.log
Quote:
sshd[5678]: error: Bind to port 22 on :: failed: Address already in use.
That is a headless server. What does the above line signify or tell and why am I seeing that? Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit server edition

This was working perfect and all of a sudden stops. Now when I try and start this service it simply hangs. I have searched and found a ton of reasons why this could be. No fix yet as worked.
