Whenever I access Empathy IM client, I am prompted for the password to unlock the keyring. It is annoying me.Is there some way to automatically unlock the keyring for empathy?
View 1 RepliesNetworkManager stores its connection secrets in a keyring called "default". I am prompted to supply the keyring password every time I log in, regardless of whether I select the "automatically unlock this keyring when I log in" radio button.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy Ubuntu 10.10 is asking me for a Keyring every single time I load my Empathy. It was doing that to connect to wireless but it was fixed by sharing it with all users. However, it's still asking me for that keyring (password) every time my empathy tries to connect to the internet. How can I have it removed?

Enter password to unlock your login keyring The login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer." At first I thought it was the wireless network problem, so I already checked my wireless as "Available to all users", but this didn't stop the prompt. Doing a little bit more of research, if I cancel the dialog without entering my password, I can access the web without any problems (so again it is not the wireless connection problem), but then if I try to launch Gwibber I get the prompt again (two times actually, if I press Cancel the first time), or if I launch Empathy as well (three times in a row if I press Cancel; probably it has to do with the fact that I'm logged into 3 different accounts, facebook, gmail and hotmail?).
Furthermore, this two nice pieces of sofware offer almost zero configuration options to the user, at least GUI-wise, so there is no checkbox for "Available to all users" or anything simmilar for the matter. For instance, in gwibber I have spell-check turned on by default and there is no way to turn it off. So I guess I'll have to tweak some configuration file in some obscure folder,
I've done the process with no problem on Ubuntu, but I can't get it working with Lubuntu.
I installed the pam package. I then added the @include common-pamkeyring line to my /etc/pam.d/lxdm file.
Here's my complete /etc/pam.d/lxdm file:

Am I doing something wrong? Does something have to be done differently in LXDE?
Did a fresh install of 64-bit Natty on day 1, and have an irksome issue when logging in. Once I'm logged in, Keyring prompts me to type the default keyring password. This happens every time I log in.
The problem is, the option to unlock the keyring automatically at login is dimmed, and only the other 3 options are selectable.
I opened the "Passwords and Encryption Keys" applet and saw 2 entries under "passwords", both named "Network secret for Auto [my network name]/802-11-wireless-security/psk". I see no option here to allow either of these to automatically unlock at login.
how I can get Ubuntu to log into my wireless network automatically instead of asking for the default keyring password each time after log in?
I seem to have added all my passwords to the default keyring while using a live session. Now when I log in, I am then asked to unlock my default keyring. I thought if you logged in with a password this wasn't necessary. When I look at my passwords and encryption keys, all my passwords appear in the default folder, and nothing is in my login folder. Is there a way to migrate these passwords. Or is there a way to automatically unlock my default keyring?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have set my computer to auto-login and as a result, the keyring asks me to enter my password every time I start the computer in order to access the password for the Ubuntu One client.
The whole point of auto-login was to not have to enter a password.
Is there a sensible way to use Ubuntu One without having to supply a password each time?
I say sensible, because I would like to avoid leaving the keyring totally open. I understand the purpose of the keyring, and that it should be locked by default. As far as I can see, the only potential work-arounds for the problem I am having seems to be to set the keyring password blank, thereby exposing all my keys to anyone on the computer. This option obviously defeats the purpose of having a keyring in the first place.
Is there not an option that lets me set that specific passwords are available automatically to specific applications? So that the entire keyring remains locked, but those passwords I deem ok to be unsecured are available to those applications I deem trustworthy? This option seem to exist for network-manager, why not for the Ubuntu One client?
Is this option not available, or am I missing something? If it isn't, I guess that I'll stop using Ubuntu One, which would be a shame.
I upgraded to 10.04 this morning and all seems well except when the computer boots up I'm prompted to enter my password to unlock the login keyring.
Until I do that I can't do anything else, including getting a screengrab of the prompt, hence the attachment was taken with my mobile phone.
I didn't have to do this in 9.10 and don't remember changing anything to stop this.
My computer is set to login automatically so I don't really want the bother of entering my password (I know, I know, security, etc etc).
The title practically says it all, I'm using 9.10 Ubuntu fyi, when someone messages me in empathy, there is a pop-up top-left that says "so and so says xyz" but sometimes when I'm not looking, this may come up and only when I click on the mail icon I realise someone was trying to talk to me.
View 4 Replies View RelatedJust did a fresh install of 10.04, everything working great, and I was pretty excited about the integration with gwibber, evolution, and empathy. I was fiddling around, getting things the way I wanted them (startup programs and such), and upon a test restart, noticed that unlike the first couple of times I had restarted with 10.04, the Evolution icon no longer came up in the tray, and my "Me" menu was useless - didn't have me signed in to Gwibber or Empathy, didn't give the option to do so.
Yes, I can still run these programs no problem, and I could probably get it such that they ran at the start... but what I would like is for them to run minimized, in the tray, like they did the first time I booted up 10.04. Again, I trust this is a mere couple of lines in the command prompt, I just don't know what they are.
So I've tried finding a solution to this on my own for the past few days (believing it is a simple solution), but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I'm running 11.2 and I have Evolution as a start-up program and I have finally got my wireless working, so it connects automatically at start-up also. I figured out how to have network manager automatically unlock the default keyring, but...
Each time evolution starts up I am prompted to unlock the default keyring. How can I give Evolution permission / access to the default keyring automatically so it can check me email upon start-up without me having to type in my password?
I have three folders on my desktop that I want to delete and they are locked. They have the "X" and "Padlock" symbols. How do I unlock them to delete. They are there from bad installs of the ATI driver.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am running the x64 version of Ubuntu 9.10. For the past 2 days(haven't installed any new programs within the same time frame). I've started to encounter problems after I lock my computer, (ctrl+alt+l), then come back and unlock it. After unlocking, I am unable to open any programs.
Attempts to open programs include: panel icon buttons, application menu buttons(including opening nautilus through the places menu), alt+F2, and using gnome-do. I also can't use any of the buttons in the user menu to the far right to log off or shut down the computer and am forced to hold the power button to restart my laptop. I am able to use programs that are already open with no problems.
Also, If i lock the laptop again, the screen darkens as expected, except, when i move the mouse to bring up the login dialog all i see is short flickers of my mouse as it moves around a black screen.

I have an account where a user has no password. And the tickbox is ticked where it doesn't ask her to enter one at login.When her screen gets locked though, I can't access it again.. i.e. a password is required. And entering nothing doesn't work.

Is there any Linux utility/command that can unlock drives?
There is a windows based utility here: [URL] but you need to pay to use it. I guess I'm looking for the free Linux equivalent, if there is any. FYI: The Locking is performed at the firmware level of the hard drive so a low format will not unlock it. This is a specific feature most drives have that not a lot of people know about.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI couldn't find any details on how to do this on Ubuntu, so I figured I'd share for anybody who needs to do that. I got this adapter from a garage sale, it's meant for use with vonage service, it has a web interface with disabled voice tab, and a hidden voice admin page. My goal was to access (unlock) those pages, so that I can use it with one of the free sip providers.
The main thread on how to do this is over at bargainshare forums, the only thing I'm adding here is how to do it on Ubuntu as opposed to windows:[URL]... I will write the simplist path using typical defaults, if your setup deviates or if one of the steps below fails, please refer to the original guide at this link to sort things out. Important note: the pc used in the procedure shouldn't be connected to the internet. Internet access is only needed to get files, programs and instructions, either before using the pc for this procedure, or through a separate pc.
Adapter setup:Do NOT connect the adapter to the internet especially if it has been out of service for a while. Connect an ethernet cable to one of the lan ports on the adapter and in a browser go to 192.168.15.1, this is the default lan gateway address. When prompted to log in use admin/admin again that's the default First thing needed is to flash a special unlocking firmware that allows the adapter to acquire clear text configuration file (as opposed to the encrypted vonage one). After downloading the unlocking firmware from guide above, go to the Administration page then the tab for flashing firmware. Select the firmware file you just saved and let it flash, you'll be prompted to log in, I used user/7756112 , more can be found in the guide, if successful, you'll get a message to that effect. Now firmware version should be 1.7.02 and voice 2.09 LId Next we need to get the adapter to get our configuration file, create one as mentioned in the guide above, meister_sd method, put the file in a folder of your choice, we'll need to use that as our tftp root folder later Now we configure the adapter to talk to the pc, under the setup page of the adapter set "Internet Connection Type" to Static IP and assign the adapter a static IP address, e.g. 192.168.1.88, then set the default gateway and DNS1 to a static IP address that you'll later assign to your PC, make sure it's on the same subnet as the IP address you assigned to the adapter, e.g. 192.168.1.99, save the changes Switch the ethernet cable to the wan port of the adapter, so it's connected directly to the pc, no crossover cable needed in my experience, turn off the adapter until we setup the pc
PC setup:First we need dnsmasq package from synaptic. This package can provide dns, dhcp, read only tftp daemons, outstanding piece of software. during the installation, it will automatically start with it's default settings. we'll shut it down so that we can start it with different command line options:
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq stop Now we configure the pc to act as a gateway and dns server temporarily, System->Preferences->Network connections , then edit the ethernet interface we're using to connect to the adapter, under IPv4 settings, set the method to manual, then add an address entry with the IP address used on the adapter for dns and gateway, ie 192.168.1.99 and gateway and dns as 127.0.0.1 Now we need to start the dns and tftp daemons:

After locking my GUI session, if I type my password incorrectly when I come to unlock it, the system often (not always) seems to hang for a long time, with the text "Checking..." displayed. The length of time can be many minutes.The system is not actually frozen - if I hit CTL+ALT+F6 I can log on to a console session, from which I can see a tty7 process (i.e. the GUI session) using the 'ps' command. Sometimes the only way I can recover is to kill this process, upon which a new GUI session starts up, but this is undesirable as I lose any open applications.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhenever I save a text file edited with LibreOffice, I get a new, locked file which can be identified with its "~.lock" file prefix. This locked file prevents access (probably for security reasons) to the original file. However, this is a serious impediment as it forbids any further editing of the original file or document so long as the locked file has not been removed. Though erasing this locked file (which can be made visible with "Ctrl-H" if hidden) should free the original, this in fact is not the case. how to unlock these locked files?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I recently built a gaming computer, which I typically use windows for. I'm mainly a linux user and I have separate computers for that. But, I wanted to try an experiment with linux on my gaming computer due to it having the best hardware I have.Anyways, I have an AMD athlon II x3, with the 4th core unlocked. Windows will boot up and use it just fine - it considers it a phenom II x4 b40. However, linux will not boot up as long as that 4th core is unlocked. grub is responsive but once it begins booting, it doesn't really do anything. its not just debian, its any linux distro.
i've never heard of linux having problems with core unlocking, and i have a pretty good motherboard (one of the top 5 socket am3 boards). i'm also very surprised to see windows somehow manages to accept this but linux doesn't.
I'm trying to setup a LDAP server and it seems to have all gone pretty well. I set it so that users that type their passwords wrong 5 times are locked out for 20 minutes. That works fine, but if I want to log on as an admin and unlock their account before that 20 minutes is up it isn't working.Normally, (authenticating locally)
Code:
passwd -u blank888
works and does what I want it to. If I want passwd to recognize the LDAP server I use
Code:
passwd -D cn=Administrator,dc=example,dc=com -u blank888
When I run that, it always asks for the admin password like it should, but then will only work on some accounts and not others. Mainly I've seen that it only works on accounts that already had local accounts before connecting to the LDAP server.If I run a passwd -Sa command I will get something like:
blank888 LK 07/18/2011 0 999 7 -1
blank888 LK 07/18/2011 0 999 7 -1
test LK
blank888 already had an account on the machine, but also had a LDAP account along with test. So blank888 is showing twice because he has both LDAP and local accounts, whereas test only has a LDAP account. So now if they both get locked out passwd -D $adminDN -u $account will work for blank888 but not test. Then the results of a passwd -Sa would be:
blank888 PS 07/18/2011 0 999 7 -1
blank888 PS 07/18/2011 0 999 7 -1
test LK
I need to be able to unlock test using passwd. The LDAP server is running 11.2, and the hosts are running various Linux distros, and XP.Can anything think of a way to fix this without removing the LDAP server, adding local accounts for everyone, and then putting the LDAP server back on?
