Gparted doesn't ask for password (SOLVED)

hi!
after a fresh reinstall of arch, when trying to start gparted, it doesn't ask me for root password. It simply says morelees that "gparted is potentially dangerous, and that i must be root". OK. But, in the previous arch installation, gparted, asked me for root password. and now no, why not?
In "privilige granting", su is selected, and it seems to work, as, for example, running "root terminal" it asks me for root password.
Thanks!
SOLUTION: With the menu editor in gnome, i changed the default command to "gksu -l /usr/sbin/gparted", i now, it promps for the root password. Thanks anyway!

SEB-APPSTORE,
I had a similar issue this how I dealt with it.
older version it may be creating problems. (they just did this starting 6/10)
WRITE DOWN ALL INFO IN ALL EDITABLE PANES IN CASE NEEDED LATER
I had this issue with passwords before and I first went and changes the password with the ESP, then I went to keychain access, passwords category, there you should see 2 mail entries imap. mail.xxxx..., and another with your email @ xxxx....
They should say application under kind column
Double click one one of them to open, then click show password, it will prompt you for the admin password, and probably again with user as well as password. Enter that info and it should show you the password, delete the password and re-enter to match the web based mail password, click save.
Repeat this for the other one, basically the same drill as above.
Then launch mail and sent something to yourself, like test, it may now prompt you for your password, enter it and click remember in my keychain, then click get mail it may a minute or two for the server to pass it along but it should come.
It took me a while to remember this, as I did it quite some time ago, when my esp changed the mail, previously.
Hope this helps

  • Pages 5.2 file is password protected but doesn't ask for password and is locked and not accessible.

    MacBook Pro, OS X 10.9.2, Pages 5.2
    File is password protected but when I go to open it I'm not asked for password and therefore the file can't be opened.  It shows up in the list of files as locked.  I have opened this file with the password many times, but now I can't open it.

  • FF 8 (and 8.0.1) doesn't ask for password until quit

    Ever since version 8 FF only asks for the password after I click on "quit." Updating to 8.0.1 did not help. How do I reset it to ask for the password FIRST, before doing anything or going anywhere?

  • HT1595 In a hilton hotel and the honors internet is recognized by my apple tv but it doesn't ask for the password.  It says it's connected but it won't bring up iTunes because it's not really connected.  help!

    I'm in a Hampton Inn trying to connect my apple tv to the wifi.  Apple TV recognizes and says it's connected but doesn't ask for the password and is not actually connected because it can't download Itunes.  How can I get the Apple TV to ask for a password.  I noticed another wifi connection from someone in another room and when I clicked on that the Apple TV asked for the password, but doesn't for the hhonors wifi.  Anyone know what to do? 

    Thanks vazandrew.  I had to call the provider, but they have 24/7 service.  They had to manually add the device.  Thanks for your help.

    When I look up the account the "password" is a long string of gobbledygook. Something I would never do.
    But when I attempt to use that pw I still can't get in.
    I have no trouble accessing that email account on my mac mini. Just on the macbook.

    Maiko,
    I'm confess I'm still trying to get a handle on your problem. You do a fantastic job of describing it ... but I'm just trying to picture it accurately in my head.
    I think, were I in your shoes, I'd begin by looking at what the debug page has to say for the specific destination in which you're interested in fixing. In other words, I'm not clear on where, exactly, this destination points ...
    Destination illinois.edu.1945806043
    Is that your site, or the division within your site that you want to fix? "Normally", you do not need to specify a site handle to get to your site within your transfer CGI ... if you say "uillinois.edu", it's enough to transfer your users to iTunes U ... but every site still has a handle, and you could, if you wanted to, actually specify it in your transfer CGI. For example, this:
    Destination uic.edu.1139051993
    is for my entire site ... it's my site handle. Whereas this:
    Destination uic.edu.1991288441
    is for a division within my site ... but it's impossible to tell the difference between "site" and "division" from just the handle (I mean, if I didn't say "this is a site" and "this is a division", there'd be no way for you to know). So when I look at your creds and permissions on your debug page, I can't quite tell if they give you download access for your site, or for the specific division you want to fix. If you could open the debug page with your division as destination (or confirm that that's what we're looking at), it'd rule out some things.

  • TS1398 Changed pw in my home network. Now when try to connect, I get message "unable to connect"' but It doesn't ask for new password. So ii'm dead in the water. How do I connect.?

    Changed PW in my home network. Now when I try to log on I get "unable to connect" , but it doesn't ask for he new (or any) password, so I'm dead in the water. Any suggestions?

    Use the Settings app to select your Wi-Fi network.
    Settings > Wi-Fi > Select the Wi-Fi Network that will not work > then select Forget this Network
    After to accept this choice your iPad should see your network again and allow you to enter the new password.

  • HT1595 My apple tv stuck at setting date and time. Also when connecting yo network doesn't ask for network password

    My apple tv stuck at setting date and time. Also when connecting yo network doesn't ask for network password

    I just went through this last night. (Aug 15, 2013)
    What I did to get back up and running. This is not the first time I have lost the network connection with my Apple TV 3
    Products effected: Apple TV 3 and Home Sharing (My Apple TV 1 was not effected)
    Power down (unplug) the Apple TV and power down your router ( in my case, it is a FIOS router, flipping the on/off works fine).
    Power both items back up.
    At this point, I usually can reenter my Apple ID and PW. and reconnect Home Sharing.  But for some reason I was unable to reconnect last night but was able to get it reconnected in the morning. I was jut to tired to deal with it last night.
    A new issue that is was able to fix after a good nights sleep.
    I did figure out, (after trying to reenter my ID and PW many times and having it tell me that my ID and PW was wrong), that when using the Apple TV on screen keypad to type in the user ID. DO NOT use the ".com" keypad button. Instead type out each character for .com. ( or what ever ending you use for your ID account.)
    Once I typed out my full ID and PW. everything is back to 100%

  • My ipad has stopped updating apps. It doesn't even ask for password, it just oges to the apps screen showing empty progress bars. I've re-synced account and restarted but with no luck. Other than deleting the apps is there anyway around this?

    My ipad has stopped updating apps. It doesn't even ask for password, it just oges to the apps screen showing empty progress bars. I've re-synced account and restarted but with no luck. Other than deleting the apps is there anyway around this?

    OK. I will work backwards.
    You certainly don't want to have to delete apps every time that they need an update, for any number of reasons. Losing data first and foremost would be a drag, but the overall hassle would be absurd. All things being equal, you should be able to update apps in the future after you delete them and reinstall them. I delete and reinstall apps all the time and I am also able to update them when updates are available for the apps. I just wanted to know if you had any success in any fashion installing apps.
    Resyncing/refreshing the Apple ID/iTunes account wouldn't seem to be the issue either if you can download apps or other content from the iStores. Your ID is being accepted.
    That leaves us with I'm not sure what. But I think I would try this trick fix and see if it helps.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.

  • I changed my apple id, but in apps store when asked for password,  original apple id appears so password doesn't work wit it.  Now can't buy apps.

    I changed my apple id, but now in apps store when asked for password, it listed my original apple id which password will not work.  How to get apps store to recognize changed apple id?

    f you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the device by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

  • MBP not consistently asking for password when opening lid

    While I'm an IT consultant with 30+ years in the PC world, I'm relatively new to the Mac world having just bought my first Mac, a rMBP 13" Late 2013.  While I tend to be pretty decent with troubleshooting, I'm having a sporadic issue with it that I'm not sure how to solve.
    My desire is to have the unit always ask for a password whenever the lid is opened. 
    The problem is that about one out of every ten times, when I open the lid on the Macbook it just unlocks and goes straight to the desktop without asking for a password.  Being in IT, and frankly maintaining a lot of confidential/security information for my clients, I'm hesitant to take this unit out of the office until I can resolve this issue once and for all.  9/10 times it opens up to the lock screen and asks for my password, which is what I want.  But three times in the past week, it has opened straight to the desktop, ready for use.  This is a security concern--if the unit is stolen I don't EVER want anyone to be able to log into it and see the data on it.  But if it's just opening straight to the desktop it circumvents that protection.
    Under Security and Privacy, I have "Require password 5 seconds after sleep or screen saver begins" set, along with (grayed/checked) "Show a message when the screen is locked" and "Disable automatic Login" set.  Each of the times I've noticed the lack of password has been after the lid was closed for a while, definitely more than an hour.  Earlier today, it happened after te notebook had been closed for at least several hours.  It's happened both with the power connected, and running on battery.
    Any ideas?  Thanks.

    If after you set the Require Password immediately and it still doesn't ask for the password then your Mac is not going into Sleep mode when the lid is closed. I have seen this happen on my 2011 model after it has been running for days, sleeping and awake for those days. I'lll close the lid at night or when I leave for work and the front white light will come on but not flash, on for a few seconds then off for a few.
    A restart fixes it but I never had this problem when Lion or Mt Lion were installed. Only since going to Mavericks. I haven't checked it lately since 10.9.2 but I will. I usually shut it down now when I know I'm not going to use for a period of hours.

  • SharePoint 2013 - Asking for password with NTLM

    Hi All,
    We have deployed a web application using NTLM with single sign on. It’s a secure site and in IIS bindings we have SSL certificate attached with this web application. However, many users are keep getting windows authentication prompt as shown:
     There are lot of blog posts that solve the issue by adjust IE settings >> Security >>
    Sites >> Advanced >> and added the site URL and
    Security
    >>   Local Intranet >> Custom Level >> At bottom choose “Automatic logon with current username and password”
    http://blog.fpweb.net/sharepoint-credentials-prompt-quick-tip/#.VPBz3vmUdUW http://www.sharepointdiary.com/2012/04/sharepoint-keeps-asking-for-password.html
    https://sysadminspot.com/windows/google-chrome-and-ntlm-auto-logon-using-windows-authentication/ (IE, Chrome, Firefox)
    http://social.education.purdue.edu/edit/2011/03/sharepoint-pw-prompts/
    I have tested the blogs posts and change the settings in our development environment
    and no windows authentication was shown with my username on the SharePoint 2013 environment. But, all related to change IE settings. In our organization, we have around
    2000 users. It be impractical to set for users for these IE settings and network team regularly pushes group polices.
    Q: Is some configuration has to be set on IIS or
    some settings on SharePoint that users don’t get windows authentication? I have tried most of options but could not resolve this issue.
    Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.    
    Cheers,

    Sites go into the Intranet Zone, not the Trusted Zone. Only Intranet is configured, by default, to automatically pass credentials to SharePoint.
    Yes, there are scenarios where this may not work, e.g. if you've configured the Web Application with Kerberos but didn't configure the SPN. Or if you're using Kerberos Constrained Delegation with Domain Controllers older than Server 2012 and your users are
    in a different forest, etc.

  • Network diagnostics asks for password for wireless network with no security

    hi
    I am trying to connect my Mac Pro to a wireless network which has no security settings. Other Macs in the house connect to the network with no problem, but the Mac Pro doesn't. I am setting up a new network as I have moved house. In the previous house the wireless worked fine on the Mac Pro.
    When I click on the Airport Icon in the menu bar, the search wheel shows and it finds the network, but when I click on the name of the network typically it doesn't connect. Occasionally it does connect, and I briefly have internet access, but then the number of bars on the Airport Icon gradually reduce and then I can't connect again.
    When I run Network Diagnostics from Safari, it finds the network also, but then typically asks for a WEP password for the Wireless Network when I haven't added any security to the network (occasionally it doesn't ask for a password and I can connect briefly)
    I have tried resetting my Time Capsule and creating a new wireless network with a different name, but still experience the same issues.
    I wonder if someone has any ideas as to what might be going on, and how I might be able to troubleshoot this.
    Thanks
    Nick

    It is one of mine. Yes. It connects to it no problem, just doesn't connect to the actual internet. Network diagnostics has all green lights until the ISP and/or Internet point. If I walk through diagnostics, it will get to the point where it says that the network requires a WEP password. I don't know why it does that because my network is not password-protected (husband claims it doesn't work well with his VPN system to get into work network). If I leave it blank, the connection will work. Eventually, after the computer is put to sleep, I will have the same problem upon waking up. I just tried renaming the network and removing all preferred networks and rebooting. Let's see how that works.

  • Outlook 2011 for MAC keeps asking for password

    Outlook for MAC 2011 keeps asking me for google password.  It wont accept what i put in.  The password is correct along with name because it works when I enter it in google.  I recently updated password.
    Need help in fixing or finding problem.
    Error message:  Mail could not be received at this time.
    The server for account Gmail returned the error (authentification failed) invalid credentials.
    Failure:  You username/password or security settings may be incorrect.
    But they are correct as I can logon to Google without problem.
    Could it have anything to due with two stage security in google?

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks for this-yes, eventually, I do send/receive fine, once I've poppedd my passwords in. 
    I think you are right in that BT seem to be having unique server/login issues...at least this is what I've read elsewhere too.
    Iroonically, this AM I opened my new Mac and have *not* been asked for passwords so perhaps the changes I made in the settings yesterday (keychain reset in Mac) and also changing it from smtp.....to mail.btinternet.com solved the issue...who knows? All I know is this last week I've nearly lost the will to live on more than one occasion, from the transition from PC Windows Live Mail to Outlook for Mac.
