Slackware 12.2 & wicd problem
Hello, forumfolk.
At college, I have wired internet with no option of wireless. Now that I'm home for the break, however, wireless is the only thing I have goin' for me, and I can't seem to get it going. After a bit of googling I read a bit about wicd, so I grabbed it from /extra, installed the package, ensured via chmod that rc.wicd was executable...and now I'm stuck. Here's how it went: Code:
root@darkstar:/etc/rc.d# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.wicd Thanks so much, sorry if I'm missing the obvious. Generally I can google out an answer but I'm really stumped this time. |
start wicd-client
|
Hey, cool, a step in the right direction..thanks.
But that comes up with: Code:
root@darkstar:/etc/rc.d# wicd-client EDIT: The first bit sounded sarcastic, and I swear I didn't intend for it to! I do appreciate the help. |
try to start it as user.
|
In order to get wicd to start from the command line run.
Code:
root# /etc/rc.d/rc.wicd start Code:
root# /etc/rc.d/rc.wicd restart |
Aha!
Thank you both SO much, I apologize verily for being daft. |
rc.wicd should be ran as root or with root privileges. wicd-client should be ran as a normal user.
|
You should also see Wicd as a menu item under "Internet" (if you run KDE)
