When I setup the software I can't remember choosing a password and if I did I know what it is! I have tried to enter these but it just refreshes the login box. I'm not sure if I can turn this feature off as it is really annoying?

I hate to make a new thread for something that has probably already been solved, but searching through all the threads can be a challenge in itself.Every time I log in to Ubuntu 10.04 I am asked for the password to my Wi-Fi connection. About a week ago it was working fine, however after, I think, the second update Ubuntu was longer able to remember the password. Its not a major problem as I can access the Internet its just really inconvenient.

The question pops up (below navigation bar) i click no and it's gone. But when i go to the same website, let's say, the next day, i get the same question. This issue is not related to 1 website, it's doing with all kinds of sites i log in to.
How can i prevent that FF comes up with that question to remember my login/password even when i clicked on No, do not remember? Pleae keep in mind that some site i do let FF save my login/password, those sites are regular visited by me. So unchecking the option in preferences i rather don't want that.
Who can tell me why FF keeps coming up with that question even if i click on no?
Every time that the internet connection is lost (because of hibernating etc.) I have to re-enter the password for the router. It used to remember this but for some reason it doesn't any more.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am running edubuntu in one of the classes of the school i support. My problem is that the children cannot remember the password for the computer if it locks. I have it set to auto login on the class user and I have disabled the screensaver asking for a password on resume, and disabled the powerdown options. So in theory it should stay on the desktop until they shutdown. However there is still the option to lock the computer and i am sure that they will find it and manage to lock themselves out of the computer! I am a linux beginner, but i have followed a few guides on the internet. I could really do with having their user with no password, so if they accidentally lock the computer they only have to click unlock to resume their computing.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm designing a multi-machined system that is supposed to resemble a failover redundant web&&databaseserver. I think I have the theory pretty well figured out (which means I'll run into a lot of unexpected problems )... but my concern is this:
I need some extra hardware, and I can buy three PII's for almost no money, or a couple of PIII's that cost apiece what the PII's cost in total. Is there a good reason to choose one over the other? One day in the distant future the setup will go live on x64 hardware. So I'm hoping to transport as much of the configuration of the test setup to the new setup. Would that be a concern somehow?
EDIT: Maybe I should explain, it does not really have to perform in any sense, but prove workload gets evenly distributed between two (or more) machines and that it can handle it if the plug gets pulled from a machine.
A friend of mine can't remember her password for the computer.When the computer starts it automatically loads her user profile, i can't create any new users, and i cant become root with sudo, i looked around on the forums and some stuff was very helpful in teaching me more about linux, but without being able to change, or remove the password i cant update. the laptop is a dell 910 mini.
At the terminal, instead of being: User@localhost, it's : name@name

I've been using ubuntu 9.10 for years and never been asked for username and password, always started straight away. Today I started the computer, it's asking for them and doesn't accept the password so it's trapped in a loop. I changed the password, no luck, the username when starting seems to be different from the one when I'm changing it. Something like "Mart Di", versus "mart". Tried both with new and old passwords. Does the password expireor something?

I routinely use somewhat spotty wireless hotspots, and Network Manager is driving me insane. Whenever there's a momentary drop, NM will prompt me for my password. I enter it, and it connects perfectly. And then 5 minutes later, it'll prompt me again. How do you instruct NM to remember a password, and stop prompting?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running Evolution 2.30.3 on fc13.x64 and I've been getting a funny problem for a while, that now really annoys me:
even if the settings for my hotmail account are correct, Evolution will ask for the password every time I log in. Also, since I keep it open, after a while (~30 minutes) it "forgets" somehow the password and asks for the password again. This time, anyway, it won't work and I have to reset Evolution again.
Bonus question: even if hotmail is configured correctly for receiving and sending (smtp.live.com etc.), it won't send email, but will remain stuck on "sending".
I have Evolution set up to monitor three GMAIL and five AOL email accounts. On all of them I have the servers set up correctly and all the right settings to check email 65-75% of the time. But for some reason, even though I have the "Remember this password" box checked for all of my AOL accounts, it will ask me over and over and over and over and over and over again for the passwords for all of my AOL accounts. The GMAIL accounts seem to work flawlessly.
I know that I have the correct passwords because I am cutting and pasting from a text file with known working passwords. And sometimes it will accept the passwords and everything is happy. But other times (like tonight) I can put in the passwords six or seven times for each account and it still gets all pissy. I can close and reopen evolution and re-enter the passwords and it still sits there in a seemingly endless loop of asking for the password.
Is there anyway to convince it to remember my passwords and NOT ask me for them again? I don't care if it writes an entry to a log file saying that logging into the server failed. I don't care if it flashes a little light or plays an annoying chime or something everytime it fails. But I swear I am an inch away from putting my fist through my monitor if it keeps popping up the g.d. dialog asking for my passwords every six seconds! I would switch back to Thunderbird in a heartbeat if the mailbox formats were compatible.
My spouse chose to check the "Remember Forever" password choice when opening a Samba share on the machine. After a few minutes of "You shouldn't do that!" lecture ... how can this be undone?

This what I've done.
centostest1 = Source
centostest2 = Destination
On Source Server (centostest1)
1. ssh-keygen
2. ssh-copy-id -i id_rsa root@centostest2
ssh-copy-id -i id_rsa user@centostest2
3. Now to test
ssh root@centostest2 <--- no problem, no password needed
ssh user@centostest2 <--- problem, it asked the password for user
I have a 2G Broadband service through my Ethernet cable. My provider in China has a user name and password to login to their service. I don?t have a modem or anything but the wire coming in from the outside. It is setup in windows but I can?t figure out how to do it in Ubuntu 11.04.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set up a SSH key between servers so no password is required when I have to "scp" files between the two. This is what I have tried so far but still requires a password:
Code:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
scp /home/<user>/.ssh/id_rsa <server2.com>:/home/<user>/.ssh/athorized_keys
When I scp after this I wasn't expecting to need a password but it is still prompting. Now I have used this same method before and it has worked great. The only difference this time is server2 is not in the same cage.
