Fedora :: Does Sudo Have To Ask For Password Every Single Time?

Feb 9, 2011

It seems that every time I use the 'sudo' command I have to type a password. Is there a way to get 'sudo' to remember the password at least for the current session after I use it once or something like that?

Ubuntu :: When Type Localpurge In Synaptic There Is No Entry

Nov 15, 2010

(10.10) Now and again I get this message in terminal after installing -

You have to configure "localepurge" with the command dpkg-reconfigure localepurge to make /usr/sbin/localepurge actually start to function. Nothing to be done, exiting ...

If I enter the command dpkg-reconfigure localpurge as asked I get:

root@dadubuntu:/home/dad# dpkg-reconfigure localpurge Package `localpurge' is not installed and no info is available. Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: localpurge is not installed.

When I type localpurge in Synaptic there is no entry.

Ubuntu :: Xubuntu's Synaptic Can't Authenticate Sudo's Update

Mar 2, 2010

I recently installed Xubuntu (9.10) in my computer, but... I have been having intermitent hard disk problems, and so I decided to google a little and after reading this:

[URL]

I did use Synaptic to search for smartmontools and then install it.

Synaptic complained that it couldn't autenticate the packet, but I figured this was happening because... this is not an application supported by Canonical? I clicked and installed the packet (well, in fact, I *think* it has installed two applications, not just one).

Then later, I saw one of those arrows at the top right of the screen, and clicked it to install updates. Synaptic told me to update SUDO. Hmm... serious. And then even more: it told me that it couldn't autenticate it I stopped the installation and registered at these forums.

And more: before posting, I tried to reproduce the "error" (and again, stop before installing the "suspicious" SUDO update) but Synaptic now autenticated it troubleless and installed it.

Well, now I have a LOT of questions:

1. Where do I place this post?. Security?. Hardware problems?. Update and installation? (Linux noobiness?)

2. my hard disk?. I've read somewhere that an application called "fsck"

3. What may have happened with Synaptic?. Why wouldn't it autenticate a SUDO update?

4. Have I done something wrong?. Something unrepairable?

5. Can I trust the SUDO version that now I have installed in my system?

6. How could I check what has Synaptic exactly installed?. Is there any log file anywhere in my system?

Ubuntu :: Sudo And Login Password Recognized - Password Box Does Not Like

Apr 27, 2010

I needed to use Synaptic Package Manager to install an app, but the dialog box ("enter the Administrative Password") that pops up before you can use Synaptic doesn't recognize my password ("incorrect password). I tried typing it into a text editor and it's spelled right, caps lock not turned on or anything.

In Terminal, sudo recognizes it, and it is recognized when I log into Ubuntu. I'm the sole user, I have admin privileges, I've been doing admin things.

I just now did System > Administration > Users and Groups and got a dialog box saying

"Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See [URL] for information. (Details - 1: Server ping error: IDLmg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0)"

Moving past that, I changed my user password, and Ubuntu authenticated it.

How do you launch Synaptic Package Manager from the command line?

Ubuntu :: Synaptic Asks For Root Password?

Nov 7, 2010

I can't use synaptic. Starting it from the gui appears to make it ask for the root password (of which there is none!). If i sudo synaptic, it starts fine with the appropriate privileges.

I ran into this problem first when I used rhythmbox for the first time. It needed to install plugins for my mp3s, but I can't authenticate into synaptic. The dialogue asks for "Password for root:", where I think it should ask for "Password for $USER:"

Why is this, and what can I do about it.

PS, This is a fresh install of 10.10. When transferring my old userfiles over from my old Karmic install I had to userdel the user I used when installing, and then create another user with the same name and details. The reasons for this escape me at the moment, and no doubt were entirely of my own making, but that's what happened. Has this got something to do with it?

Ubuntu :: Synaptic Package Manager Won't Recognize Password?

May 23, 2011

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 i386 and I installed the unity desktop by using sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. However when I try to open the synaptic package manager it won't recognize my password. It just keeps asking me for the administrator password. I can open update manager which also needs the admin password. This is a fresh install all I have done is installed the ubuntu desktop. I am currently trying to install KDE desktop to see if it works on there. I also have had this problem on my laptop which runs 11.04 x64 desktop edition. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me? and is there a fix? also what is the terminal command to launch the packet manager? edit. It started working on my laptop a week or so ago after I did updates. So I'm not sure if the server version of unity or the packet manager is just behind? I have run the update manager on my server and it says its uptodate.

Ubuntu :: Synaptic Does Not Recognize Password & Add/remove Programs Not Showing Up?

Feb 3, 2010

I've just did a fresh install of Xubuntu 9.10 x86 in a 4 gig pendrive.Just one ext4 partition for / and /home and a swap partition. Only one user created during installation.Everything's fine so far except for two things:-If I launch synaptic from the start menu, it asks for my password which I type in or even copy-paste to be sure.Strangely it always comes back saying incorrect password. If I open a terminal and call "sudo synaptic" and type in my password when prompted, the application shows up fine. Again if I do the same via the Run dialog (alt+F2), that is "sudo synaptic", nothing comes up. If I just type "synaptic", a pop up says that as a user I won't be able to install anything and blah-blah, and the application displays properly

Ubuntu :: Sudo Isn't Asking For Password?

Jul 27, 2010

I installed ubuntu minimal install with xorg, lxde, and lxdm During the manual install, I do remember it asking something about extra encryption on password or something like that which was "highly recommended" and I chose yes, which probably has nothing to do with my problem, which is: Whenever I run something in the terminal with sudo, it just opens without asking for password. What did I do wrong? How might I fix this?

Ubuntu :: Ask For Root Password Instead Of Sudo?

Dec 16, 2010

When i install or upgrade the system I want to be asked for the root password instead of just the normal password for sudo. The reason for this is that the kids and so on uses my system and know my password. They do not know my root password though. I do not want them to install or mess up my system by pure fumbling, so is this possible to do. A simple change in who runs the updater/install features...

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Sudo Not Needing Password

May 4, 2010

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 as a vm in VMPlayer 3.0. My correct user password is required to log in. When I use the sudo command or enter an area that requires my password, the password box pops up as it should.

The problem is:
If I enter my actual password, it is not accepted.
But if I enter nothing, as in just hit enter, it works. It shouldn't.

That seems just a little backwards and I don't get it. I've re-installed the vm and still have the same problem.

Ubuntu :: No Need To Type Password To Mount HDD Partition

Jan 10, 2010

I am having a dual boot system vista/ubuntu 9.04. Till recently whenever I wanted to access my vista partition I had to type in the administrative password. However, strangely, for last few days whenever I access the vista partition I don't need to type the password. The partition is just mounted and I can access the files. I would like to know the reasons and if possible to get back the previous situation (needing password to access the vista partition).

Ubuntu Installation :: Cannot Type Password To Login?

Apr 29, 2010

Fresh install from the new CD (via BitTorrent). Installation seemed to go cleanly, with no errors or warnings, but a long delay while some files were downloading from the overloaded servers. However, after the reboot, the machine was unusable. Can't log in because it won't recognize any characters coming from the keyboard when I try to type my password. Hardware is a Lenovo (IBM) ThinkPad R52 with 1.5 GB RAM. Extremely vanilla machine. Possible wrinkle in that I'm trying another VM this time around, using VMware Player 3.0.1. Right now I'm assuming this installation is dead and non-recoverable.

Ubuntu :: Sudo: 3 Incorrect Password Attempts

Feb 7, 2010

My root filesystem recently filled up. I finally established why - that my /media directory had filled up due to the USB-attached device having been unmounted for whatever reason, and SimpleBackup tried backing up without the mount in place - thereby filling up the filesystem.

I discovered that the root directory was full when the machine tried to get updates, and couldn't. So, I went into /media and tried to delete the backup directory and file(s) that were in that directory, but it tells me that permission is denied. So I try to SUDO the same command, and it tells me 3 times in a row, "Sorry, try again", followed by "sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts".

So, how to I get root privileges back again?

Code:
name@machine:/media$ sudo rm -R FreeAgent
Sorry, try again.
Sorry, try again.
Sorry, try again.

[Code].....

I've read through some threads here but the problem I'm having doesn't seem to be the problem others are having.

I just reinstalled 10.04 today after my last installation messed up after a month.

early when I first installed the terminal and sudo were working perfect but now, this is what I'm getting:

[sudo] password for dimebag:
<password>
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for dimebag:

[Code].....

I tried every solution I saw and nothing works. I've been having a heck of a time trying to install things.
