Re: Magick
Hi, Thanks, now I have a better understanding of dpkg. MatthewMPP Francis Earl wrote: I used synaptic to verify that all of them were installed and then I tried to run them as root, and still the computer responded "command not found". Does anyone have any advice? In the future, I'd like you recommend trying 'dpkg -L ' to list the contents of the package... if you're only looking for the binary just grep it to find bin files 'dpkg -L | grep bin'... then you can read the man pages for each binary that has one... Conversely, -S does the opposite, so you could do 'dpkg -S /usr/bin/convert' to find out that this came from ImageMagick... Much faster than asking a mailing list for such simple answers... --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
unlock keyring
OK, I installed ubuntu 9.04 as the only system on the computer. (Did this at the instalfest about a month ago...) It fired up and worked great -- I installed a new wireless card, and obtained wireless access at the instalfest no problem..got home, and tried to log on to my home wireless...no joy. I fiddled and screwed around, looked at docs, emailed some for help, and finally, this morning got back to serious business trying to 'fix' this thing. I "think" I may have found the problem (don't ask my why, but it seems the driver was not activated? If that is so, how did I connect at the installfest???), but now another one has blocked my access to the wireless section -- during all this messing around, I must have placed a password on the keyring..#$*&^%$ Passwords, anyway Well, I've tried every password combination I can think of, no joy. Is there any way to see what it should be, and then either remove it or change it or WRITE IT DOWN for future use?

Re: unlock keyring
the Gnome keyring is stored in ~/.gnome2/keyrings. rm everything under that directory and you'll be able to start over with a new keyring password (warning, you will lose all passwords stored in the keyring, but I presume that's what you want to do in this case).

Re: unlock keyring
Lyle, I had the same issue, setting passwords in the "password and encryption key" manager section. By default it relies on your login, once logged in, unlocks that user. If you set a different password, the system can no longer transparently pass those credentials to the application requesting keyring access. You're not going to be able to reverse/see the password on your keyring, so best option would be to delete your existing keys and start over. If you delete your "my personal keys", log out, and log back in, I think it'll rebuild them. This should bind everything to your login account credentials, which is what you'll want for a desktop os. Anything else ends up being a PITA with Ubuntu. A more heavy handed approach would be to nuke the directory as Joseph recommended, log out, and log back in. I believe this is what I did after futzing with it for far too long after being nagged incessantly to authorize for wifi keys distribution. -mb On Sat, 2009-05-23 at 08:58 -0700, Lyle Tuttle wrote: > OK, I installed ubuntu 9.04 as the only system on the computer.
