I'm reviving an aging Thinkpad X22 by installing Debian and running only in text mode. I've installed wicd to control the wireless network connections. When I run wicd-curses from the cli, it finds the network and I'm able to obtain an IP address. The wireless ESSID that I'm connecting to is encrypted with WPA. I can't seem to figure out how to input the encryption password so I can connect.

When I getch() a key event (UP arrow key), the getch() function return a string of characters that I cannot compare with curses.KEY_UP constant. Here is the code I use :
while True:
w = gb.scrn.getch()
c = chr(w)
otp = 'touche:'+str(w)+' '+str(c)+"
[Code]...
It seems like getch() return three distincts bytes while I would retrieve it with a single ord() instruction in python like describes in curses/python documentation.
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on a PackardBell notebook and have just got an Orange Livebox 2 for broadband connection(after years of dial-up as no adsl in my area).I am trying to connect via WiFi to the Livebox to configure, but neither NetworkManager nor Wicd will connect. NM sees the Livebox but simply fails to connect after trying; Wicd says "Bad password".The WPA2 password I have entered is definitely correct, and I have connected without any problem from an AcerOne under Linpus.I have also tried to connect using Wicd and an ethernet cable, and this doesn't connect either, returning "Connection Failed: Unable to Get IP Address"

I have a "bad password" reply using wicd 1.7.0 with WPA and a preshared key within Ubuntu 10.10, i.e., I am unable to make automatic/repeatable wireless connections using wicd without a workaround.
I believe this may be a problem interaction between wicd and the way wpa_supllicant is passing the (preshared) key to the network authority (the router). In my case, I use a Linksys WRT54GL running DD-WRT v24-sp2 (10/10/09) std - build 13064 OpenSource firmware, configured as an Access Point in Mixed mode (b/g).
I have no problem authenticating WPA Personal TKIP or AES from Windows or Mac OS X clients with a variety of wireless adapters (Linksys, D-Link, Lucent, Airport (Mac)) (No intervention is required to produce the secure connections).
With wicd 1.7.0 and wpasupplicant 0.6.10-2 (wext as wpa_supplicant driver selected in wicd by default) on Linux 2.6.35.-24-generic (Ubuntu "Maverick Meerkat") and a Lucent Orinoco Gold 802.11b wireless adapter I am able to connect to the network initialy (one time) without the "bad password" error.
After the initial successful connection, reconnection is not possible (the "bad password" error) ***unless the wireless security settings on the router are re-applied. Once reapplied/resaved, a subsequent attempt to create a wireless connection from the Linux client will succeed without any changes having been made on the client side.
The psk data being sent to the router (with respect to the Wireless security settings) is being cached in such a way the connection is initially possible but defeats subsequent attempts at connection. Perhaps the passkey is cached/stored on the client side (after it is used to make the first connection) in such a way that it will be sent incorrectly upon subequent attempts at connection? Of course, I'm simply guessing, here ... it is by luck that I found the workaround to establish this wireless connection.
**********
BTW, FYI, I was unable to use the Gnome Network-Manager to establish any wireless connections at all. Thus, Network-Manager was uninstalled (sudo apt-get purge network-manager) during the installation of wicd (Ubuntu Software centre). wpa_supplicant was re-installed (Synaptic) after wicd was installed.
I have followed everything according to the the post by: [URL] I got through everything, was able to install wicd and scan the available networks, however when I connect to my own network with WPA2, it always gives me "Bad Password" when authenticates. I tried also using WPA and WEP, nothing worked. Even when I put the security to none, it connects, but for something reason wasn't connecting to any web sites when browsed using firefox; however the status shows connected and the router shows registered when logged into 192.168.0.1.
I tried uninstall network manager and then restart with wicd, same problem. The wired network is managed without any problem. The adapter works under windows 7 and XP flawlessly. And also wicd ask for password everytime the computer starts to gain control of the network cards. is there any way to cancel that?
These problems just started the last couple of days but I have been using Lucid 10.04 for a month now. My wireless Signal varies in strength wildly. I sitting at home, not 20 feet from my router. I never had these problems before Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04. I am running both Network Manager and Wicd.
Errors:
1. Wicd states "Wrong Password" which is not true.
2. Dropping off-line for no reason, sometimes 3 or 4 times a minute and sometimes it works fine for hours.
3. Firefox 3.6.3 Automatically Checking "Work Offline"!?

I have the Proper Wireless Drivers. I have not changed my wireless settings, channel or WPA for 8 months now so I know thats not it.
In the template of Wicd, when I am outside the textbox, then everything in the textbox looks like this
(actually is was a big dot instead of a *) But whenever I clicked in the box, the text was shown
mypassword Is this something common on WiCD? And is there anyway I can fix it?
So, in any other Desktop WM, wicd never asks for passwordyesterday I installed Openbox,etc from SlackBuilds and each time I start Openbox it asks for my user's password.I did some googling but couldn't find anything regarding Slackware & wicdand I'm using -currentUser is part of netdev group so what's the issue

I've been using wicd (1.6.2.1 was the latest version on my desktop computer, maybe it got updated) without any problems for a long time.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI have finally found a native Linux music player that's as light and as simple as Foobar(unfortunately Foobar under Wine is giving me problems so I needed to find a native player). creating custom columns for the player. And since I can't find any DeadBeef forums, I'm hoping people here are familiar with this player.
So, the two main custom columns I'm looking to create are Codec and Bitrate. Codec to show if the tracker is mp3, ogg, flac, etc. And Bitrate to show the bitrate of each track.
Now there's an option in DeadBeef to create columns, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the column to show the info that I want. I was hoping that the way you get custom columns to show up in Foobar would work in DeadBeef. But inputting %bitrate% and %codec% into the columns in DeadBeef does not work.
how to get the two columns that I'm wanting to display the info that I want?
I installed Wicd in my F13 but I got problems when starting it When I try to start it I got error message:
Could not connect to wicd's D-Bus interface - Check the wicd log for error messages.
I'v just installed wicd. I can't get it to sart, I get errors saying that wicd couldn't connect to it's dbus interface and the wicd deamon has shut down. Then there's a report from SELinux saying that it's preventing /usr/bin/python "write" access on /etc/dhcp/manager-settings.conf and that access is denied to wicd. I can get wicd to start if I su to root, but I'd like to not have to do that every time I boot. Is there a fix?

Just something I've been curious about. I've been messing a fair bit with some of my own scripts, and in some cases, getting sent an IM would be useful to let me know when a task is done. the ability to set account information in a text file.It'd be okay if I can designate only a single recipient, or set recipients in the config file at the very least, jabber support.Be able to be controlled via standard shell commands - for example I should be able to pipe a message output into the program for example.

how do I find the karmic repositories links?
If you install Wicd (it is in the repositories) any network-manager will be automatically de-installed.But eventually, Wicd will still not work properly.Solution:Open your package manager and type in: network-managerIf Wicd is installed, EVERYTHING related to network-manager must be thrown out, sorry: removed!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was using wicd on a spotty network, the house blocked a lot of the signal from moving around, so wicd was having major issues with that AP. Later I was trying to connect to another AP but wicd couldn't connect plus it was saying the spotty network's name was the one it was connecting to. Although I didn't try before I left/gave up I'm sure a restart of the wicd daemon would have solved it.
But why is this even the case? is there something I could add to the scripts that would clear this issue up? (I also submitted a bug on wicd's launchpad project but haven't gotten any response... I hope this isn't a 'feature')
i'm trying to replace default F15 NetworkManager with wicd. i installed wicd and used "chkconfig NetworkManager off" to disable NM but the problem i'm getting is
1. after each reboot i have to start wicd manually from su. any solution to get it loaded automatically?
2. also as i stopped nm, i have no network shortcut in taskbar, anyway wicd icon can be integrated in taskbar?
I just updated my system to a new kernel with the update manager and now my WICD no longer obtains an IP address. Everytime I try it says "Connection Failed: Unable to get IP address".It was working fine before and even when I reboot into an older kernel it still doesn't work.I'm using a Belking Wireless G adapter.I would have tried downloading another network manager but since I can't even access the internet I'm stuck with changing current settings and nothing seems to work.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWell it seems like every 5 min the update manager is barging in telling me to update so I did last night and then this morning I turn on my computer and a window pops up that says "wicd needs your password" or something to that effect so I put it in. Then I notice wicd is not running. So I click on it in the menu and it pops up in awn for a second then disappears. As I have said before I am fairly new to linux so Im having trouble figuring this out. I don't know any commands i should run or where to start even. My computer is not much use to me without the internet so I would really like to get this fixed.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Mini with Unbuntu Hardy 8.04 with a Broadcom STA wireless card BCM4312 802.11b/g. In April the Network Manager stopped working.After trying various fixes, based on advice and instructions posted for others who had the same issue, today I decided to completely uninstall the Network Manager and install wicd- which seems like a working alternative. I uninstalled the Network Manager and used the installation instructions for wicd (URL...). While connected to the internet with a wired connection, in my Synaptic Package Manager I entered the new address deb URL... hardy extras. Then I opened a terminal and entered.It looks like an argument is needed, but I have no idea how to add that to the command. I've found the key file (I think) here URL...but I don't know what to do next.
View 7 Replies View RelatedBefore I changed the faulty wifi card I installed Wicd. Incidentally it didn't remove Network Manager, a bug that's reported in Launchpad. With the new wifi working well enough with Network Manager, I used Synaptic to remove Wicid, or so I thought.I happen to be checking .xsession-errors and there's an error reported about wicid tray desktop. I removed it and no more errors appear.
After looking for advice here and on the web I used apt-get remove and purge yet a file search of wicd still finds 25 entries, in /etc/, /usr/ and /var/.Some are archives and some are logs but some aren't, why are they still there and can I clean things up?
I removed network manager on my laptop via sudo apt-get remove --purge network manager network-manager-gnome but now I can't install wicd because I don't have Internet.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am running Natty on a Lenovo T410. I can connect to wireless with no problem using the panel applet but not using wicd. syslog shows it trying to get a DHCP address and finally timing out with no lease offers. I think a big clue is that if I monitor wlan0 using wireshark I get no traffic at all when it tries to connect, whereas with the applet I see the dhcp traffic. It seems as though wicd is connecting to the wrong wlan0. Running "dhclient wlan0" directly gives the same behavior as wicd. I need to use wicd because I typically run enlightenment so can't use the ubuntu applet.
