the password you typed is invalid ...

[temple]

hello .. I got one more problem with default mageia..
once a time I got the pop up window with the message:
"password you typed is invalid, try again later"
this looks is happening when system is trying to do updates or upgrades automaticly..
Can someone advise how to resolve this? its not asking for password, its just giving me this message, without entering any password.. it pop up automaticaly..

this is what tail -f /var/log/messages giving me, when I click on that window to close it:

Code: Select all

Hi,
Have you tried changing the password?

[temple]

does not help

[nigelc]

hi<
Try Configure authentication for Mageia tools. In the Mageia control center. There is option for setting the passwords.

cheers

This is probably a problem with consolehelper-gtk the small program which is used by MCC where you enter your root password. All those are contained in usermode-consoleonly and usermode packages.

@nigelc: I just opened Configure authentification for Mageia tools and set no password for mageia update and will wait if pop up windows will stop to appear.
@doktor: when I start consolehelper-gtk it gives me: Fail to find selected program, but:
# which consolehelper-gtk
/usr/bin/consolehelper-gtk
# file /usr/bin/consolehelper-gtk

can you advice, how can I fix it? I tried Configure authentication for Mageia tools, many combinations, but did not help. It must be something different.
I still got the pop ups windows with that message, always and always.

-after 1st pop up appear my Mageia Control Center stops to work, I got message: application finished abnormally and only restart help till the first pop up.

Hi,
You try and go into single user mode, and see if the password works. Try adding a new user with a different password.
If that all fails re-install the system.

I saw this in one of the Alpha or Beta releases of Mageia2 and it was fixed with updates.
So the question is what did you install and have you updated?
