Ubuntu :: Can't Bypass Loging Screen ?
Jun 13, 2011
Yesterday I was working on Ubuntu, i shut down the computer normally, and then when i restarted it like an hour later i couldn't bypass the login screen. I insert my username & password correctly and the screen goes back for one second and then displays the login and password inputs again. I have just one username there. Before i shut it down i was trying to install Eclipse, so i messed around with some files related to Eclipse only, if that has anything to do with the problem. I also have Windows XP installed along with Ubuntu 9.10.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 off a desktop. I was using it for quite a while up until last night when out of nowhere while surfin', and browsing, the screen just turned white, I've tried restarting by powering off manually, as I couldn't get it to any other way. After the computer restarts, it might flash black for a sec a couple of times, then back to being white again, the BIOS screen doesn't even show up. It sounds like in the background the computer might still be loading up. My monitor is a 21"LCD, if that means anything?

I'm using a cd to try Ubuntu 11.04. New user here. I get a message that requests for the wireless network password. When entered it appears to be valid. When clicking on wireless icon it shows connected. When I launch FireFox it can't find a server. Then after a few minutes it once again asks for the wireless password.

I ran apt-get update to fetch firefox5. I didn't updated ubuntu since long so it down loaded around 280 updates including firefox. Now while installing I saw once EULA acceptance message for Microsoft ttf font installation, this message window doesn't have any button etc to confirm, so I did ctrl+c to exit, and then "apt-get" seems to have terminated in terminal.But I checked that it is still running in the background in process list, not sure active process or not.
I did rebooted PC assuming update might have completed. Now after reboot it boots up to the login prompt, but I don't see any cursor movement or key stroke effect. It just stays there and then after some time shuts down, with flashing error message relate to "Init.." i couldn't read it completely.

I have installed Debian squeeze(testing) xfce. While I was changing selecting themes for the xfce window manager. It logged off and came to the login screen(gdm I think). On giving the username and password, it again comes to the same login screen. I can't get to the desktop.

The main pages for logsave say that it is useful for saving the output of boot scripts before /var/log is mounted because the output is saved in memory until it can be written out. but there is now example of this.
How and where do you add the logsave command to save all the text that flashes by at boot time can be saved where you can read it cut and paste error message to forms etc.

In recent days, (today is September 18, 2010) I've been surfing the web trying to learn how to access nodes in my soho lan by netbios names instead of having to connect through the ip number, because ip's change every time according to DHCP assignments. I do not know what has happened to the "new" command mount.cifs, but things seem to have become a bit more complicated with the new version. Security problems, they say, and surely that's the reason.
I show here an automated way of loging into servers by netbios name instead of having to resort to the use of IP numbers, hosts files, wins servers and all that jazz. This is especially useful if your soho lan have five or more network nodes, and you do not want to go finding out the ip numbers assigned to the machines you want to connect to (temporarily or permanently).
This output is piped to gawk to isolate the line containing <00>, and gawk outputs the first element (print $1) of that line, which happens to be the ip of the server ServerName. I tested the script in my soho network, which now has Linux, Windows XP and Windows 7 nodes, and it worked perfectly for both tipes of servers.I'm using GNU's gawk, but I'm pretty sure that awk would do the job just as well.

Sometimes I want to keep something in PDF files, so I print to the PDF "printer". However, if I inadvertetnly forget to check the PDF creation and rather take the real printer (which is usually only powered up, when I really want to print something), printing goes to the real printers queue and nothing happens ... until, possibly some sessions later, I want to print something (on paper rather than PDF) and power up the printer.
Then all inadvertent garbage comes first and chances are big, that the printer gets junk during power up or reconnecting the cable to the computer and then the whole thing is wasting even more paper, since escape-sequences sent to the printer get chopped and misunderstood by the printer.
In order to stop this alltogether, I am looking for a mehtod, to automatically flush the whole printing queue every time when I log out of my ubuntu session.
I know, there is a command lpq to tell which print jobs are pending, I also know the command cancel -Umyname -a, but this requests for my password. I want to kill all those incomplete or pending print jobs automatically.
And how do I hook such a command script into the logoff or shutdown sequence?

Is it possible to log in secure shell (openssh ) using a username and password which is not present in "/etc/passwd" .The shell created after authentication should be owned by the logged in user .

I upgraded my Ubuntu to 10.4 and when I boot it stops for 24 seconds at the boot menu then loads. This is the same menu you get on boot when you press Esc. How do I get Ubuntu to boot normal?

I have a persistent installation of 10.10 on a USB thumb drive installed with the Universal USB Installer. When I boot, it always brings up the welcome screen, with the languages on the left side, the big "Try Ubuntu" button in the center, and an "Install Ubuntu" button on the right. I just want to run ubuntu from the USB stick. When I click on "Try Ubuntu" the system hangs for 2-3 minutes, requires a force-quit and then brings up the desktop.
If, at the beginning of the boot process, I interrupt it bringing up the initial menu, I can select "English" then "Run Ubuntu from this USB", and it boots very quickly directly to the desktop. Before this install I was running 9.04 and later 10.04 from the same USB stick and had no issue with it booting directly to the desktop. Ideally I'd like to not need to intervene and just have load to the desktop. Do I need to make some changes to grub?

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?

I currently use 4 keyboard maps in my session (Russian, Ukrainian, Polish and French). I'd like to use one more : Sweddish, but it seems that I can't have more than 4. Does anybody knows a way to bypass this limit?

I've read the documentation, but I'm still confused. I have two servers, one running Postfix and SquirrelMail, and another i want to setup a wiki(already setup) and Photo Gallery.On my Second server(2)I have two virutal webservers, wiki.rmasonfamily.info and photo.rmasonfamily.info, both running on port 80.My first computer is running my mail server again as a virtual server, mail.rmasonfamily.info. Default server is not used in either one.
Server 1 will be my proxy server, and if I understand correctly, my reverse proxy. Ubuntu had Apache set with a configuration in etc/apache2 using sites-available with configuration for each Virtual Server with sites-enabled with links to configuration files in sites-available. My Virtual Server in Server 2 are working fine, along with my mail server in Server 1. this is the code I assume I must use to bypass to wiki.rmasonfamily.info. In server 1, under sites-available, in the file wiki.rmasonfamily.info this is the code I put
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName wiki.rmasonfamily.info
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
[code]....
Doesn't work, I know I'm doing something wrong...

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 tried a remote reboot via ssh. I couldn't log back in even though sshd is a startup script, because the KDE daemon wanted me to enter my kwallet password...which is of course part of the DE, not something accessible via ssh. How do I turn off that check or automate it?

point me at a free proxy to bypass this which can simply be installed, built and/or run.setting up a server outside china and running a tunnel to it from my comp is not an option. also, below is a list of sofware that i have tried and failed to work:
Tor with vidalia
Tun with squid (i think squid)
hamachi (which i later realized would never have worked)
i tried to get haystack but it wouldn't build.
PS: if this post is in the wrong area, please tell me where to move it...

I have installed Suse 11.3 on /dev/sdc which is a hard drive connected to a usb port. Windows 7 lives on /dev/sdb in the box. Another drive sda is in the box also. I configured bios to boot the usb drive first. Grub is installed on /dev/sdc mbr. My scheme is to allow me to boot directly to Windows if the usb drive is not powered up, and directly to Suse if it is powered up. That all works. However, I would like to bypass the grub menu and boot right into Suse, like what happens with Windows, not having to select an entry from that pesky grub menu.
What is the best way to configure the system so that this can work? I've done a lot of searching but there are too many grub horror stories in the haystack to find this particular needle. Also, I've had my share of problems recently after losing control of the boot process somehow and not being able to boot into Suse at all. All of the postings I found on the net about recovering from that turned out to be phoney in some way and I had to reinstall to bet better. I'd like not to repeat that scenario.

I am using FC11. My problem is whatever application that needs access to the internet are blocked by company's proxy server. So, configuration is like
my_machine---------> firewall ----------> outside world..google and etc
Now, If I am using firefox then I have configured it to use proxy server and required login details and etc. But, my eclipse, ssh, git and all those needs internet connection as well... Is there anything like which sets all details (proxy server, user name and passwd) system wide ? So that I dont have to pass it to each application...

I have a server that said a volume was dirty and to check it at reboot, so someone did a shutdown -rF now. Only problem is the other volumes are HUGE and it will take forever, which I cant have happen. The volume with the trouble is non-critical so I could take it offline and check it that way if i can get this to boot quickly. How can I do that if its going to auto check every volume on reboot now?

I'm using Fedora 10 as a proxy server using squid, but I recently noticed that some users use the IPS's Dns to bypass the proxy and surf the web freely. So my question is, is this a problem with Squid or perhaps I can solve the problem whit IPTables.
