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 changed my account password but now when i log in a keychain manager pops up and asks for the old password to join wifi.
how can i update the keychain password to match the account password?

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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu 9.10 as a web/ftp/etc server. I like to work on stuff from remote locations and have set it up to be accessed it with the external IP address by my laptop.The problem is that if I'm at a remote location and tell it to restart, when it boots up it won't log me on unless I enter the password, but I can't remote access it until I'm logged in.So, is there a command or script that I can run that will tell it to restart and bypass entering a login password?I'm only looking for something to bypass it ONCE per command/script, NOT to disable my password.

When the computer is locked. I can smiply go to switch users. when the list of users logins are shown all i have to do is click on my user name and it allows me into my account without typing in a password. I can lock the computer manually or wait for it to time out it doesn't matter. the switch users method allows me to bypass the password protection.
I am used to, on starting Ubuntu on my Netbook, being prompted with a password challenge to open my Keychain required to authenticate against the WPA enabled WiFi network.
Now, Ive recently installed Ubuntu on a desktop PC, along with some dev tools (Code::Blocks etc.) but it gives me a keychain access challenge about 4 times on startup. I can't seem to figure out which app is trying to (get my permission to) access my keychain, and for what Purpose.
(By contrast: on my Mac, when an application tries to open the keychain, the application, its certificate, and the search data of the matching key that will be accessed are all displayed making it much easier to determine what app is being naughty) How do I do simular diagnostics with Natty?
When I cancel these requests, nothing "breaks".
I've got a recurring problem on the latest install of Ubuntu 10.4 64 Bit. Everytime I log in, in order to use establish a wifi connection I have to enter my password again to unlock the system keychain. Until I do this no Wifi connection is established.
I've got the system setup on an Acer Aspire Revo which has an RaLink rt3090 card in it. I was using the 2.1.3 driver but have updated to the latest .7 driver and still have them same problem but I suspect this is some sort issue with Ubuntu rather than the driver.
The machine is setup as an HTPC to logs in automatically and boots up Boxee which needs an internet connection so it'd be great to get the internet working from the get go rather than having to enter the password again.
Anyone got any ideas why I'm being asked to unlock the key chain again and to stop this from happening so the wifi works immediately after logged in.
I recently configured a server that I would like to access remotely. I want to start x through ssh and then log in through vnc, but I get prompted to type in my password in gnome before I have a change to login. Which is a problem because you need to be at the box to enter the password. Is there a way to authenticate this through ssh or give vnc automatic keychain access?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedYesterday 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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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

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?

My router is crap. If I use DHCP it sets all the computers DNS to itself and all DNS requests get cached in the router. It even starts to loose some DNS request if to many are made at once. On my windows PCs this isnt a problem I just set DNS to google's public DNS servers (8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4) and bypass my router and ISP alltogether but when i go to pref>network_connections i have to either set DHCP or manual, there is no option to set DHCP with custom DNS.
I'm sure there must be a way to do this in terminal, can someone tell me how?
