I'm setting up a shared laptop. When I connect the laptop to a wifi network, network-manger remember the password without asking the user if it should.Our wifi network is WPA2 enterprise protected, so we all have our unique personal username/password.I didn't find how to configure network-manager to not remember wifi passwords.
View 3 RepliesI 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?

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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got a strange issue here concerning Firefox. Of some sites i don't ant my login and password to be saved by Firefox. 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.

I'm having a wireless issue (go figure) where I can't get to the internet, can get to my LAN just fine, but trying to ping anywhere on the net just gives me "network unavailable" message.One thing I've seen noted here time and again is people saying "Use Yast vs Network manager" when I go through the Yast Network Devices GUI it tells me it's using network manager, and I need to use ifup (if I want to use Yast), however I have no clue how to go about changing it from one to the other?
Currently I'm using hard-link to get all the updates and see if that will resolve my problems, but figured I'd learn how I'm supposed to switch it for the future.
Another noob question i guess, i've installed debian squeeze on an old laptop i have but unlike ubuntu, theres no network manager icon :S
When i use ubuntu i just right click on the network manager icon to set up my mobile broadband connection but with Debian i cant (because there's no applet) . Is there any way to make the network applet appear so i can do that ?
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'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'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've tried Ubuntu, Arch, and most recently Fedora but the SUSE GNOME environment blows everything else away!
The only problem (so far) is that Network Manager requires you to enter your password every time you login to unlock the password keyring. I want to disable this.
I think some distros disable the prompt by using the login password to unlock the keyring, but I use auto-login (if that makes a difference).
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?

I have setup a nis server and client. At first I didn't have a local user defined on the client. The client then used the user and passwords from NIS, so that was ok.
The problem then is, that when the server is down, I couldn't login to my client anymore. So I created a local user with the same name on the client but with a different password (after I shut the nis server down, if nis server was on, I couldn't create a local user with the same name). I then edited etc/nssswitch.conf as follows:
Code:
# (like no NIS server responding) then the search continues with the
# next entry.
#
# Legal entries are:
#
# compat Use compatibility setup
[Code].....
If NIS server is on: client has to login with the nis password If NIS server is down: client has to login with the local password (as fallback)
However the actual behaviour is that I can only login with the local password now. The NIS pasword doesn't seem to be used anymore.
My wifi connection drops sometimes and, for some reason, Network Manager attempts to connect to my neighbor's network, which requires a password (which I don't know). Is there any way to blacklist a wireless network so that the Network Manager will never attempt to connect to it?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm a novice using Ubuntu 10.1 on an Asus EeePC. For several days, my computer has refused to connect to the office wifi, though it's had no trouble doing this in the past. It recognizes the signal, and the wifi icon keeps indicating that it's in the process of connecting, but the process never completes. Every few minutes I'll be asked to re-enter the password. Eventually it gives up.
I'm not sure if this problem extends to other wifi networks or just the one at my office.
