Hello Everybody,
I just installed slackware linux and i have problem with my wireless after some searching i understood that the solution of my problem was to install wicd network manager but with slackware is a bit difficult for me as it does not have a good package manager or if it has one i am not sure.
Can you tell me instructions on how to install it.From sites to commands.
I really like slackware but i have a problem installing tarballs , generally from the start that i had ubuntu...
Thanks everyone in advance!

Wicd is in /extra on the slackware install media. To immediately install it:

# installpkg <path to /extra> wicd...txz

However, there are other "package-management"-type* ways to install it, via pkgtool or slackpkg (my personal fave..), eg

uncomment a suitable mirror in /etc/slackpkg/mirrors, and after running:

# slackpkg update
# slackpkg install-new
# slackpkg upgrade-all
This brings your system up-to-date,

Then,

# slackpkg install wicd

will install wicd.

You can also download the package from a suitable slackware mirror.

* as far as package management is concerned, Slackware, ultimately has the best package management system: YOU.

cheers,

well thank you wicd is installed.
Now i have the following problems:
slackpkg command , terminal says it is wrong
and
wicd does not open when i click on it.

The command installpkg is very useful thank you!

You must run slackpkg as root...otherwise, we'd need to know the exact error message to help you.

You must make /etc/rc.d/rc.wicd executable:

# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.wicd

Then, start the daemon:

# /etc/rc.d/rc.wicd start


Then, as user in X:

$ wicd-client

cheers,

When i write slackpkg install <program> it just says: Command slackpkg not found.
Wicd does not open either.
When i write wicd-client in the terminal i get this:
/usr/bin/wicd-gtk: line 12: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/wicd-gtk: line 12: exec: /usr/bin/python: cannot execute: No such file or directory

Any ideas?

Well,
I fixed slackpkg.I installed the package from slackpkg.org.
Wicd still does not work any ideas how to fix it?
I tried installing python but no luck.

Anyway i just fixed it.
I did a clean install and i installed all packages even KDE
but i chose XFCE as my default DE.I dont load modules of KDE or GNOME so
i dont loose more RAM and i dont care for my hard disk's space because i have enough.
Any way thank you mrclisdue.
