I'm having several problems trying to install programs. Some sort of problem with authentication. I then tried to upgrade to Maverick Meercat and it gives the problem that you can see in the uploaded pic.

my server uses plain text authentication on port 25. I would like to use security like SSL, but this particular server is unsecured.
If I am running a script, let's say a install script. Is there a way to make Su repeat authentication rather then just returning "Authentication failed" and continuing the script?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to make a choice on what authentication protocol I want to use for Authentication and Authorization. I was looking at Radius and then literature suggested that Diameter was a better protocol. Keep in mind I need this on a hetrogeneous setup ( linux & windows together). Diameter seemed like a good fit until I discovered that the open source code no longer seems to be maintained ( C/C++).
I was also looking at Kerberos as an option though there is alot overhead with the server. SSL/TLS or EAP? I am looking for simple but secure and am new at the security protocols.
I have a problem with ldap client authentication in ubuntu. I am using rhel5 as openldap server and I configured ubuntu as client, when I am trying to login the following message is coming."su: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info. Sorry"

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a server that was running 11.0 and was set up so that a number of other machines could connect to it via ssh without needing a password by using rsa key authentication. This has worked for a couple of years without problem. I have just progressively upgraded 11.0->11.1, 11.1->11.2 and 11.2->11.3 so now I'm running 11.3 and the above authentication is not working.
My logs show the errors gkr-pam: couldn't get the password from user: Conversation error error: ssh_msg_send: write pam_unix2(sshd:auth): conversation failed error: ssh_msg_send: write
when the automated logins are attempted. Are there any configuration changes that need to be made to get this to work again with 11.3?

I started using Ubuntu a few days ago due to a classmates recommendation, and I simply cannot get this program I need for class to install. Or if it does, I don't know how to make it work.
I've got to install VMWare Server 2.0 for my class so we can make virtual computers and what not. But, no matter what I do I can't get it to install. Whenever I try to install it like I was told on various websites (here's one for examples sake [URL], I do this: sudo ./vmware-install.pl and get this: Can't install perl script "./vmware-install.pl" : No such file or directory
I've tried putting in stuff like home/computername/Desktop/vmware-install.pl, but I still get the same problem. I've racked my brain and my browser trying to figure this out, but I've had no luck.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI decided to download Blender as a tar.bz2 file from the site instead of using synaptic (synaptic had an older version)What is the best place to extract such a program? Right now, I just made a folder in my /home/ directory and extracted there. It works, but I want to know if that's the "right" way to do things.I've read the explanations of linux file system folders, but this is my first practical application of that stuff, and I'm confused.Am I supposed to put it in /usr/ or /opt/ or something?

View 3 Replies View Relatedinstalling programs on ubuntu, you see i run ubuntu on my old time computer from around late 90's early 2000 and the internet port on the back is for old telephone lines but i no longer have these wires. So I decided to download the packages on my newer acer laptop, put them on a usb and plug it in, but i have found out that .tar.gz is nothing like the windows executable .exe and scince i'm quite new to linux i have no where to start.
P.S i have already tried installing in terminal but failed miserably...
so i just did a fresh install of lucid last night. it went relatively well, but there's a few minor issues.. one of them being that i can't install certain software from ubuntu software center because it tells me that the program isn't offered for amd64.
for example, when i try to install skype, it tells me
Quote:
Sorry, 'skype' is not available for this type of computer (amd64).
i even downloaded the 64 bit skype from the website, but when it doesn't want to install that either and just leaves me with a broken package.
the thing is, these programs that won't install with lucid worked perfectly with karmic.. so i guess it has something to do with lucid..
I don't know how to install programs from the net on here >.< this is driving me up the wall. Just about any program I download doesnt have an install option.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI installed WINE to get some old games to work on my Ubuntu box. (Return to Castle Wolfenstein)I tried downloading some demos and it says BLOCKED: WINE START UNIX and to read the executable bit. I did, and it says it will NOT install any programs downloaded from the internet. I thought 'fine, I guess they have to be retail games' so I popped the disk in and it tells me the same thing. Any exe program I EVER try to install from anywhere is just BLOCKED: WINE START UNIX. Why is this happening?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI wanted to install it on a secondary computer in my house for web browsing and little-to-nothing more.
How can I fix or get around the error 'Authentication failed' when attempting to login?
I just installed openSUSE. The installation seemed to go well. After installation, everything loaded up and I was using the OS with no problems.
I restarted the computer to change my boot sequence in the BIOS. Then I got to the openSUSE login screen. I was presented with three options:
1. my username - When I enter in the password I specified during the OS installation it says "Authentication failure"
2. Automatic Login - just says "Permission denied"
3. Other... - Nothing seems to work here
How can I login?
I am fairly new to ubuntu and linux in general but have bee experimenting for a little while. As part of that experimentation I ended up with a set of fedora 11 install cd's except for disc 4 which had a faulty image.The fedora cd's have some programs that may be handy in setting up a server. This prompts my thoughts to turn to getting the programs off the fedora cd's and installing them on ubuntu.Both are a gnome desktop environment, and there are a whole heap of files with names that look to me like files for part of a serious installation.
is it possible to use the ubuntu installer program to look at these and then install only some which I can't do if I just look at the filenames.
After trying out ubuntu for a while (and messing something up that required I reinstall), I installed karmic using the encrypt home directory option. Now I can't run several programs, such as Computer Janitor, SBackup, Software Sources, and Synaptic Package Manager (I can run Synaptic only if I launch it through a terminal using "sudo synaptic"). All of these programs worked flawlessly for me when I didn't have an encrypted install. I am very new to linux, the join date to the left is about when I started trying ubuntu
View 1 Replies View RelatedAnyone know of an easy & practical way to re-package (in to debs) all the programs I have installed on a system so I can copy them on to a disc & install on another machine? Basically so I only ever download the programs I want once but can install them as often as I need. I'm sure I read that by just copying the /usr directory to a target machine may work (although I haven't tried I doubt it). I've also read that it may be possable to simply copy a whole Ubuntu installation to another drive & use it in another machine.
