Ubuntu :: How To Disable Authentication Request When Accessing Another Drive
Jan 6, 2010
I'm dual booting Ubuntu 9.10 and win7. I have an NTFS partition on my disk and whenever i want to browse files on that partition I'm required to enter my password. my problem is that my music folder is located on that partition, and as a result, whenever I open rhythmbox, it cant access the files on that partition and begins to remove them from the library. in order to prevent this i must browse to that partition manually and enter my password upon request, prior to opening rhythmbox.
on a side note - shouldn't the spell checker on the Ubuntu forums recognize "Ubuntu" as a legit word ?

I am using Kubuntu 10.04, but I am posting here because the Kubuntu forums seems to be user agnostic. I just couldn't get past the verificaiton process. This should be a general networking problem that Ubuntu users can answer. On my home network, I have a Windows machine whose shared folders I can access from one machine running Ubuntu 9.04. I've had to do no network configuration on Ubuntu, it just works out of the box. On Windows I do not have a password that I use to login. Ubuntu does not ask for it either.
But on Kubuntu, when I browse the network samba shares, I can see my Windows share, open it, navigate it, but every time I cd into another level in the share or click on a file (say a music file to play), the authentication window pops up asking for a user name and password. What login information should I use here? I tried my Windows user name and a blank password,

On a laptop I have Windows 7 installed, and ubuntu 11.04. Now. A while ago the HDD died and I replaced it. with some data loss but nothing much to worry. Now I thought that it would be useful if I somehow could manage to direct the Documents, Music etc. etc. folders located /home/[user] to somewhere on a different partition HDD. I managed to make new folders on the partition and link them with the documents and music folders etc.. the problem now is is that you have to unlock it every time by either opening the partition and insert your password. I know that the password problem can be evaded by simply changing some settings, but. I want to evade the whole process of clicking on the partition. It is for security reasons that that have to sort of activate the partition, but I find it becoming a bit annoying.
So, has anyone a clue of how to activate the driver right at the start? something automatic stuff. Or does someone know how to disable this ?

I using rhel5 i installed&configured nagios ofter loged in the nagios server when i m enter hosts & services i m getting this error # it appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the hosts you requested. If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication requirements for accessing this CGI and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file.

having a slow internet connection, I bought the all maverick repository on DVDs, copied the files on a usb drive and modified the apt sources file to consider the local repository only:
Code:
# deb file:/var/www/ubuntu_local/ ./
deb file:/var/www/maverick/dvd1/ maverick main universe restricted multiverse
deb file:/var/www/maverick/dvd2/ maverick main universe restricted multiverse
deb file:/var/www/maverick/dvd3/ maverick main universe restricted multiverse
[code]....
Even though I am reasonably sure it is safe, this local repository is not authenticated and I can only install package through the command line or synaptic, the Ubuntu Software Centre giving an error message "Requires installation of untrusted packages"...I thus would like to disable the apt authentication check for this local repository.

We have installed the Centos on server. I have enabled the ssh key authentication in that server. Now we can connect through ssh only with key file.Since this server is protected with SSH, I am unable to use the SCP command. If I use this command it says "Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).". Please let me know How Can I disable SSH Key or why SCP command is not working ?

So after tinkering for a while, I was able to configure ssh for private/public key authentication and disabled Password-Authentication. In the past I had some issues with people brute force trying passwords/usernames so I want to avoid this, but I need some form of secure FTP that now doesn't work due to the aforementioned setting.

I set up a debian lenny in vmware on my windows machine. The network interface is set to bridged, so the virtual machine is connected directly to the university network i am connected to. I want to be able to ssh into the vm.I installed sshd via "apt-get install ssh", generated a key pair with puttygen and copied the public part to "/home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys", set rights to 600 and then tried to disable password authentication completely, following the "securing debian" documentation.this is how my /etc/ssh/sshd_config looks now:
# Package generated configuration file
# See the sshd(8) manpage for details
# What ports, IPs and protocols we listen for
[code]...

Is there a way to disable password authentication completely? The command line is the following:
ssh -o KbdInteractiveAuthentication=no -o PasswordAuthentication=no machine"
it STILL asks for a password. Of course I would like to do this without touching the server, if possible.

I have Ubuntu 10.10 on my USB stick, and it boots fine. I want to be able to use the PC's hard drive, though, for storage of my files. My PC has WinXP on it and I dont want to lose it either. Is there any way by which I can mount the hard drive whenever I boot using the USB stick so that I can use it for storage?

i somehow managed to corrupt ubuntu 10.10 installed on my laptop and subsequently, i loaded a fresh version of ubuntu 10.10 on another partition. i want to access the data in the home folder of the other (previous) partition, but sudo nautilus gives me root privileges only in the current "filesystem" and not on the home folder of the other partition.
although i've been using ubuntu for some time now, but i am largely ignorant about most of the terminal commands.

I'd like to setup a drive on my Ubuntu Server (10.04.2 LTS) so two laptops running Windows 7 can read/write to it via the local network.
Can Windows read/write to ext2/3/4, or do I need to format the drive as NTFS?

I have an MSI Wind with Windows, Ubuntu Netbook Remix and another Ubuntu derivative installed on my 80gb drive. I recently acquired a 160gb drive, which I plan to put into the Wind. I cloned the 80gb drive, which left me with an identical configuration, plus 80gb of unallocated free space. The problem is that I already have 4 primary partitions; the last of them (adjacent to the free space) is divided up into 4 extended partitions. I tried to make the free space available in gparted, but it won't let me create a new partition because I already have 4 primaries. Is there some way I can get this into the last primary partition? I tried expanding the size of the extended partitions in the 4th primary partition, but gparted won't let me do this.

I have a network where several machines are connected through a switch. I'd like all machines to be able to read/write to/from the hard drives of the other machines. for example:
machine1 will read/write files that are on the hard drive of machine2
machine2 will read/write files that are on the hard drive of machine1
machine3 will read/write files that are on the hard drive of machine1
machine3 will read/write files that are on the hard drive of machine2
etc etc...
all of this reading/writing will be done through the terminal, and programatically. rather than SSHing into a machine to read/write files from it, I'd be happy to set up some 'conventions' on how to access hard drives of various machines. for example:
'hdd1' will refer to the hard drive of machine1 (that has the static IP of 192.168.0.1).
'hdd2' will refer to the hard drive of machine1 (that has the static IP of 192.168.0.2).
'hdd3' will refer to the hard drive of machine1 (that has the static IP of 192.168.0.3).
etc etc...
this way, when I want to read/write a file, its PATH will be something like ~/hdd1/myfile.txt; ~/hdd2/anotherfile.txt;

I know it is not advisable to write to a NTFS drive with linux. Though I'm using Knoppix and Fedora 11, is it safe to access my video and music files from linux, while I am working under them or would it be best to use external media to get them.

I've installed Ubuntu Meerkat on a new build that has two HD's. The installation process saw and setup the first drive but seemed to ignore the second. Using the disk utility under Administration, I formatted and then partitioned the second drive. I then added a line to the fstab.
The disk usage utility under Applications-Accessories sees the increased space, however I don't know how to access it.Under previous versions of Ubuntu, in this situation all of the hard drives would be visible under Computer and Nautilus but they're not.Any suggestions as to how I can access that second drive?

I am able to log in via VNC through a browser (on my Window laptop), however when I try to access my USB hard drive on the Centos Server, it says:
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied
Does anyone know of any step by step instructions so that I can be able to access my USB Hard drive?
I have found a few posts on the internet about this, however the fixes are either vague/hard to understand etc?

when I load into Ubuntu 11.04 from my USB drive, why can't I access the files on my internal hard drive? I mount the drive but I cannot see any of the music, videos or documents contained on that drive (which is also an Ubuntu 11.04 drive). I was wondering so I could copy those files onto my external hard drive and reinstall since my Ubuntu crashed.

I have a secondary drive on my new RedHat Linux computer and I want to make it permanently accessible from the RedHat system that is now running on the computer.
It is an old Windows NTFS drive that was a secondary drive when this was a Windows machine.
What do I need to do to, and how do I do it:
1) Format it into a format that Linux uses.
2) After it is formatted correctly, permanently mount it so it will always be accessible
3) After it is successfully formatted and mounted, how do I access it? (For example, to add a new ascii text file to it via 'cp')

I would like to access my NSA-220 Plus through the Internet without having computer turned on. I tried to set it up as a FTP server but I was not successful. I tried few tutorials but all allow me to access NSA-220 Plus only within my home network which is not what I want. Also I tried user manual which does not really tell you how to do this.
