wicd network manager issues.
Hello again. So I want to connect to different wifi networks and haven't really figured out how/if I can have profiles in inet1.conf. Thought I would give wicd a try. The little app starts up great, nice little window, but precious little else.
I ask it to find my essid via 'find hidden network' and nothing seems to happen. I make changes to preferences such as wired interface = eth0, wireless ineterface = wlan0, dns, etc. Click 'apply' and next time I check the settings are not saved, just blank. I know the interfaces are not meant to be configured via inet1.conf so commented them out. What am I missing or doing wrong? Thanks in advance, BashTin. Oh, PS, when I start it up from the command line I get Code:
$wicd-client-kde |
Have you run the rc.wicd startup script in /etc/rc.d?
As root: Code:
sh /etc/rc.d/rc.wicd start Code:
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.wicd |
yep, tried that. I get '/etc/rc.d/rc.wicd: No such file or directory'
Mine is located at /usr/bin/wicd-client-kde BashTin. |

Did you install wicd-client-kde from SlackBuilds? Uninstall that and install wicd from /extra... I had the same problem initially

Is your user account a member of the "netdev" group?

Test:
Code:
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager Peace |
Thanks guys. Uninstalled it and installed the one from the /extra dir. Added myself to netdev, rebooted and all is fine. Looks a good little app. Will give it a more thorough road test. Have a few other issues which I will start another thread on.
Thanks, BashTin. |
