Yes Im sure. It's like something is hijacking stdin during the password prompt.
I have been having massive issues with this ever since I upgraded to karmic. When I boot, I get the prompts for my luks passwords, but I cannot type anything. The only key accepted is the enter key....
You need to import the private key into your keyring, then enigmail should be able to access it.
Import private key to keyring:
gpg --allow-secret-key-import --import private.key

I recently setup a raid1 array to handle all my household backups, and decided on using backintime to handle this task. Given how important these backups are, I wanted to keep a close watch on them...
The backintime program is what makes the entries in crontab. When any backups occur it is supposed to look for $HOME/.config/backintime/user.callback and execute it if it exists. This only seems to...
Im using backintime to do my local backups. I wanted to take advantage of its user.callback functionality, so I wrote a small shell script to email me the results of the backups when they occur.

I seem to have multiple entries for the same 2 computers under "Places>Network". Does anyone know how to remove obsolete entries under here? I've tried deleting and it wont let me. I've also tried...
I never had any luck with network-manager either. On my system I did the following to have everything managed through the interfaces file:
sudo apt-get purge -y network-manager-gnome
This...
Ok, why dont you post the contents of /etc/network/interfaces and lets see if theres an issue there.
I may have misspelled it. It may be spelled networking-manager as opposed to network-manager.
Hmm..Im a bit unfamiliar with network-manager, but you may try and restart it. You should be able to type
sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager start
Perhaps if there are errors you will see...
Are your interfaces managed through network-manager or the interfaces file? Whats the output of ifconfig?
I had a similar problem to this where many programs that auto-started at boot didnt carry...
No they are not. How do I get them where they need to be? Not sure whether I need anacron or cron to be autostarted. I think in Jaunty it was anacron.
Solution: I installed sysv-rc-conf and was...
I upgraded to Karmic, and have found that certain system services i.e. cron,ssh,atd,samba all need to be manually started. They used to autostart. I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how to get...
I woke up this morning and noticed that my backups had not completed for several days. I've been using rdiff-backup for quite some time via cron, but somehow 5 days ago it all stopped. Seems as...
If you're trying to recover data, doesn't the command
mdadm --create wipe out all your data?
I am going to be setting up a luks encrypted software RAID 1 on my ubuntu machine. I want to make sure I cover all my bases and understand how to move it to another computer in the future.
I've...
This has been solved. One of the virtual host server names had an underscore in it. Apparantly bind doesnt like that. I renamed the virtualhost without the underscore, changed the corresponding A...
I am trying to setup dns for my local network. The purpose of this setup is to allow all the machines on my network access the multiple websites I develop on my machine. Currently I have only a...
Ok Ive narrowed this down. Looks like it works fine if you use firefox. IE on the otherhand is not playing nice (shocker). IE reports no errors, but somehow is not liking my jQuery or my php.
Im currently running Intrepid. I have the lamp server installed via
sudo tasksel install lamp-server
I have developed a website (currently hosted on my machine) backed by a mysql database....
By chance does your /etc/crypttab have incorrect entries in it? Perhaps it refers to the disks UID as opposed to its name?
You can generate a public key from a private key, but not the other way around.
