View 3 RepliesWhen I boot up my password is requested three separate times by the keyring. Sometimes if I have left my computer to boot up it will actually be requested four times. I get the impression it relates to start up programs, for example if I leave it so that it requests the password a fourth time, at the same time the wifi connection settings pop up requesting the wifi password. I remember having a similar problem before and I think I was able to set a program as always having access to the keyring once logged in, but I can't remember or find how to do this. The programs that are maximized on startup are; transmission, liferea. Docky and gnome-do are also arranged to load on startup.

Frankly, it pisses me off to have to enter my password every time I leave the computer for a few minutes, or want to make the many tweaks that are necessary to get a system going, whether it's installing software or anything else. How do I stop it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI use Ubuntu 10.04 and I want to be able to move around the system without having to frequently enter my password. For example, when waking up the system from a power save state or when accessing Synaptic Package Manager I do not want to be asked to enter my password. There is nothing on my system that matters if its security is breached. Is there a way to turn off these requests for a password?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a way of altering the time between password requests. For example after I login there seems to be a certain amount of time before the screen blanks out and a new request for the user password is asked. I would like to increase the time substantially.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a FC10 installation with GNOME and NetworkManager and a wireless card. Everything works ok. However, when I try and setup gdm to do autologon I get the NetworkManager applet asking for the password for the gnome-keyring to get the wireless details. Since I want to use this machine as a sever this is unacceptable as I won't be around to type in the password. I tried the solution at [URL] but this does not work. I still get the password being requested and the keyring password is the same as the logon password. Can anyone say if there is a workaround that works to get the NetworkManager to be able to read the gnome keyring without having to prompt me for it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhenever I turn on my computer, asks, (after I enter my login password) for the password for my "default keyboard settings" (or something like that) 4 times and my WEP 128 (whatever that is) password. I just hit "cancel" or the little "x" in the corner, but it's a bit of a nuisance to do it each time I turn on my computer.
How do I get Ubuntu to stop asking me for my password for so many things?
I've upgraded(?) to TB3.1 from the Mozilla repo and instead of a single panel for the password, I get at least 3. The record so far is 6! Going back to 3.0.5 returns to a single panel. I need to stick with 3.1 as a parallel upgrade to Lightning 1.0b2 means 1.0b1 will not work. How to get back to a single password entry?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got a new laptop for work that dual boots with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10.Normally, I can use an sslvpn connection to log onto my office servers to transfer data back and forth through Windows. However, I do my actual work on Linux, which the computing services department at the university where I work has not set up a sslvpn connection method for.I got the JRE set up on Linux and loaded up the sslvpn connection when I was asked for my sudo password. After following some other instructions, I created a different password to act as root.I entered that password over and over again and now I'm not able to attempt to connect again by trying another password.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've tried to do the installs using Unetbootin, LiveUSBcreator, and Startup Disk creator and the Install program from within the distros themselves, regardless of installation method the same problem returns. So I do not think the problem is related to method of installation.
Maybe it's hardware? I've tried a total of four different motherboards, (an MSI, 2 Gigabyte and an Asus) all with updated BIOS, all 4 of which work perfectly fine with normal Linux installations to the HD. I have no troubles running any of the above distros when installed to a hard drive.
The problem comes when I install to a thumb drive. Which thumb drive? Take your pick. I've used Sony, SanDisk, Kingston and a handful of cheaper brands in sizes from 2G up to 16G. The problem always returns regardless of the hardware involved. Therefore I do not think the problem is related to hardware.
I want a fully functioning installation of Linux on a thumbdrive. (I do not simply want a Live CD copied to a thumbdrive.) This will allow me to make changes to the software/settings and have those changes remain after rebooting. I'm able to do this just fine, and everything works perfectly until the third, fourth, or fifth reboot. At this point I enter my password and my password is no longer accepted. Sometimes the screen flickers a little, sometimes it just reloads the prompt. But it doesn't let me in. At this point it's Game Over. All the hard work installing and tailoring the install is down the drain. Yes, I've searched and found threads of this similar problem. Many of them go back to 2005 or 2006. The vast majority of them are people begging for help, receiving a few suggestions, finding no resolution and then the thread just dies. Honestly I've spent many, many hours following outdated advice that has, on occasion, worked, but only temporarily. The problem always returns. Something is seriously screwed up and I can't be alone.
So here I sit with a brand new 4Gb Sandisk that up until last night had a beautifully running Ubuntu 10.10 installation. And yet, voila, my password is now no longer good enough. It simply will not let me log on. I enter it, hit enter, and the log-in screen simply reloads itself.

You can truncate the password to 8 characters, or leave it as it is."my question is what kind of problem could i get and how can i change so i have to log in every time i start the computer?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been scouring the message boards and trying different things for two days and haven't found a solution. I set up Ubuntu 10.04.1 a few days ago using the server iso and selected the LAMP installation option. I will be using it as a sandbox to try out things from a PHP/MySQL book I purchased.
I have installed Gnome since sometimes I just can't get the command prompt to let me do things and Gnome may at least tell me why. I also installed PHPMyadmin.
My problem is that I can work with this thing all I want in any way I want - HTTP, SSH, SFTP, etc. - from within my home network but Apache refuses to respond to an outside request. Since it's only a test box it usually wouldn't be that big of a deal but I am going out of town for a couple of days and would really like to start working with my new book.
I am 99% sure my ISP is not blocking any ports. I have a ComTrend ADSL modem with router. I have given my Apache server a static IP on the NAT (xxx.xxx.x.101) and set up a dyndns address so I don't have to keep remembering the IP address.
Here is what I have tried so far: Setup a virtual server (port forwarding) on the router to to direct traffic on port 80 to internal IP .101The router told me its interface is using 80 so it would move itself to 8080 Made sure to also add port trigger for port 80 Made sure to save/reset the router Used my iPhone to connect via 3G - didn't work using IP or dyndns name Used iPhone to connect to 8080 and router responded
Set port forwarding/triggering for 8080 -> 80. No joy there, either Tried changing listening port to 8000Set port forwarding and triggering to allow port 8000 Changed ports.conf to read NameVirtualHost *:8000 and Listen 8000 Changed first line of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default to <VirtualHost *:8000> Restarted Apache service
Apache responded to dyndns.com:8000 from home machine No response when trying same on iPhone (sorry, it's the easiest way for me to test from outside my home network)
At one point, I added "ServerName localhost" to the otherwise empty httpd.conf file but that didn't seem to do a darn thing.
Many of the posts I have perused are at least a couple of years old and have included information on taking action with files that are not there or are no longer where they were. I have interpolated where I can but so far nothing has worked.
For some reason I get two requests for key chain unlocks when I boot? I only have to "sign" one of them but the second one still appears.

I did the DNS nameserver spoofablity test here at [URL] and the results i got showed about 30 different dns servers. Normally when i carry out this test on my standard isp connection or the vpn i use i just get one dns servers settings consistently.

I'm just asking about a script (ex, bash script) that will let me know how many requests to each website on the server? So is there a way to get know from shell how many requests or connections to each web site on the server, in order to determine which website is under flood or DoS/DDoS attack.

The only things that access it are for myth and for the smb mounts for mythtv. Every couple days, the system stops responding to network traffic. No myth connection, no smb, no pings even. All I have to do is wiggle the mouse on the system and everything comes back up instantly. I noticed that after it comes back up, the time is off by hours.
View 1 Replies View Relatedi have a web site and i need to forward all requests to the same page. Basically i would like to show a maintenance page while we are working with our database behind the application and in the meantime i would like to redirect all url in the root directory as following :

i tried to perform the action using mod_rewrite in this manner :
Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule . http://www.mysite.com [L][code].....
The webpage at http:[url]....has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.

View 2 Replies View RelatedQuestion 1: Hey. I noticed i have quite a few logs that end with .[number] for example "syslog.1" "mail.info.1" etc, why is this and why are they there since almost nothing is logged in them ??
Question 2: on my server im running a script like imagebam and imageshack with hosts images so i have quite a few apache requests to my server. I am wonder why apache takes up so much CPU for some of the requests ? in Htop some requests take up 1.2% CPU while other take up 3-5% etc, so the total load is about 1.50 0.58 0.84 to 2.61 1.08 1.14 with about 128-150 apache requests all the time while sometimes the CPU load can be almost 0 with the same ammount of requests. is this normal? what could cause this in apache ?? the server is just running apache2. MYSQL is running on another server.
say i have an apache server configured for ssl/non ssl virtual hosts and a proxy configured as follows (see squid.conf)the ssl on each name based virtual host is configured on its own port (only 7 of the domains need this the rest are just media and other insignificant bits of data but domains 1-7 contain forms that require specific personal information that may be technically illegal to transmit without encryption)if any additional information is needed just let me know
domain1 is port 443
domain2 is port 444
domain3 is port 445

i've tried blocking ping requests with iptables.. and it didnt work Quote: iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j DROP
also tried editing sysctl.conf.. which worked perfectly but after i restarted the system i was able to ping my ubuntu machine from my lappy here is what i added to sysctl.conf and then executed it with sysctl -p
Quote: net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all = 1 here is another atempt to block.. this one worked too... but again after the restart i was able to ping my machine.. Quote: echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all
I'm trying to make my wireless router always give me the same ip address every boot (192.168.1.100). I do not have a static ip address from my isp.
Everything I've tried from online help has made my internet break and I'm not even sure what exactly I should be searching for on google.
Ultimately, I'm trying to get my wireless router to forward ftp requests to my computer which shares the network with an xp machine. I think this is the way to go about it.
