wicd-curses bitrate error

justwantin · 02-13-2016, 01:03 PM

Apparently the bitrate problem was never fixed in wicd-1.7.4. I have installed current as of 11/02 and wicd-curses falls over as was the case with 1.7.3 before it was patched in current.

Code:

<snipped>
File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/netentry_curses.py", line 543, in set_values
    wireless.GetWirelessProperty(networkID, 'bitrate')
ValueError: None is not in list

I had a look in currents's extra/source/wicd and the patch used for 1.7.3 is no longer there.

I thought you told me 1.7.4 had the patch ? :-)

Sorry, been out to lunch, we're 0ne short of a stack at work. Didn't see this till tonight.

You had patched 1.7.3 and there was no bit rate error. The patch was in wicd's source. You have bumped up to 1.7.4 but whether or not the patch was needed or applied I don't know. the slackbuild in slackwarearm-current/extra/source/wicd/wicd.SlackBuild reads:

Code:

# Apply patches:
zcat $CWD/wicd-1.7.3-urwid-1.3.0.patch.gz | patch -p0 || exit 1

My email had said that your patched 1.7.3 worked then after you replied I had noted that there was a 1.7.4 just released

Sorry I didn't mention this in previous post, There is a new version of wicd, 7.4.4, out this month. I was looking for your build script to build it when I found that you had patched 7.4.3.

My apologies, I perhaps did not explain myself clearly. and perhaps in the future correspondence should remain in the same place :<( mia culpa

Perhaps I'm the only one who has noticed the problem but may I add that wicd-curses offers much more than networkmanager CLI via ssh which is how I access my arm boards.
