Slackware :: Suddenly Lost Several Binaries And Wicd 'couldn't Connect To DBus Client'
Jun 19, 2011
I was playing around with bash scripting and the last thing I remember doing was checking for suid root files. However now I cannot launch sbopkg, tpfand etc and the binaries are nowhere to be seen. I was experimenting with the sticky bit for tpfand so I could load it as a normal user.
Code:
chmod u+s /usr/sbin/tpfand
chmod u-s /usr/sbin/tpfand
However now tpfand is no long in /usr/sbin. But a whereis produces the following results.
Code:
tpfand: /etc/tpfand.conf /etc/tpfand.conf~ /usr/share/tpfand
The same applies for sbopkg, which I have not touched. I think this problem is also related to the wicd error stating it cannot connect to DBus client From these symptoms has anybody experienced anything like this before from tinkering?

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?

on my laptops I used to use Wicd with the Gtk GUI. However, now there is a KDE client, which I want to use instead, from now on:
Wicd Client KDE
I installed it, and it works quite well, so far. However, whenever I logon to a KDE session, the older Gtk client is started, too. I then have both Wicd clients sitting next to each other on my panel bar, and I have to manually kill the Gtk client. How do I get rid of the Gtk client in KDE, permanently? BTW, my laptops are running Slackware 13.1 stable with all patches up to now and some additional software from various repositories.

(Background: my wireless worked fine for a long time using wicd-1.6.2.1 and then all networks became hidden. The wicd website said there was a bug in 1.6.2.1 and to upgrade.) I obtained wicd-1.7.0.tar.bz2 from sourceforge.net. Slackware man pages recommend "installpkg <name>". I did "removepkg wicd..." and then install. Installpkg said it could not install it because it did not end in .tgz,.tbz,.tlz, or .txz. I changed the name to wicd-1.7.0.tbz(assuming that was equivalent) and did installpkg again. That gave "Verifying..., Installing..., Warning: package has not been created with 'makepkg'. Package wicd-1.7.0.tbz installed."
There is no entry for it in the Kickoff Application Launcher. There is an entry for it in /var/log/packages. There is in /etc/rc.d./rc.wicd a script marked executable. Can anyone see what got lost?

using ndiswrapper for a usbwlan device. Configured and modprobe ndiswrapper confirmed working. When I 'iwlist wlan0 scan'I get cell (wifi network) profiles including my own and several of the neighbours - all showing ssid name and whether key managed or not. When I 'wicd-client' this shows my network as hidden. What makes it even stranger is that wicd-client shows all the neighbours network ssid. Check to see if my router is broadcasting ssid and is without a doubt. I have tried to connect to my router via CLI commands (iwconfig) but unable to connect as is wicd-client - will update with log files on this soon.

I just upgraded to 13.37, and for some reason wicd now cannot connect to my wireless point. It keeps saying the password is wrong, when I know for an absolute fact that it is correct (even changed the password to '1' just to make sure, and no dice. Which is weird because even though its the exact same version of wicd, and not only that, it no longer seems to be able to see networks with my built in card, so having to use a USB card. Anyway, googling turned up very little. Seems to be a common problem across distros, and some people reported that downgrading to 1.6.x fixes it.
So, I ran
Code:
removepkg wicd
And it uninstalled wicd. Downloaded wicd-1.6.2.1-x86_64-1.txz from a 13.0 mirror and did
Code:
installpkg wicd-1.6.2.1-x86_64-1.txz
While in the correct directory. It installed, and I ran wicd. But checking the version number when it loaded, it says its 1.7.0 again.
Not really sure why this happens. I'm assuming there's some remnant of wicd that removepkg doesn't dump, and its preventing me from installing this older version of wicd. What do I need to do for this? If anyone has a surefire way to make 1.7 work again, that would be fine.

After I upgraded to current(Tue Mar 2 19:07:31 UTC 2010), I could not connect to any wireless network. It will always failed in obtaining IP address. When I rebuild the package and upgrade with the new one, the problem gone. Also I notice that the package I rebuild is different with the one on the stock tree:
Code:
..ckware-mirrors/slackware64-current% md5sum /tmp/wicd-1.7.0-x86_64-1.txz

i'm having a little issue with a small script i'm working on. It's a bash script that, amongst other things, checks the current playing song in Rhythmbox with "rhythmbox-client --print-playing". Now the thing is that if I run the script by hand it works perfectly, but when it's run by cron this part gives the following error:
Code:
(rhythmbox-client:9848): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: /bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.It's running on my own cron (crontab -e) set to my user.

I'm trying to write a slackbuild for doing a slackware package from the binary distribution of scilab.org.If you want to test it, it's here
[URL]
there's also a slack64 package made from the slackbuild.to use the slackbuild you have to download your file distribution in the same folder from here [URL] and then you have to launch it like this
Code:
ARCH=x86_64 PKGTYPE=txz TAG=custom ./scilab.SlackBuild
available archs are i686 and x86_64
EDIT: edited build script to install things in /opt. updated package.

I want to be able to connect to the dbus session bus on my box from another box. I've done this before on previous linux installs by adding
Code:
<listen>tcp:host=0.0.0.0,all_interfaces=true,port=5550</listen>
in my dbus config file, but today this isn't working. nmap shows that port 5550 is open and the box can connect to this address from itself.
ie.
On the box where dbus-daemon is running (ip address 172.16.0.1):
Code:
dbus-monitor --address tcp:host=0.0.0.0,port=5550
dbus-monitor --address tcp:host=127.0.0.1,port=5550
dbus-monitor --address tcp:host=172.16.0.1,port=5550

I can install clamav from SBo no problem, but the version is outdated. I downloaded the newer source code from clamav's site, edited the slackbuild to reflect the new version number, and rebuilt the package. But I get this following error when building.
Config files are installed in the proper places (except the file /etc/clamd.conf.rej referred to below which doesn't exist). But the binaries clamd and freshclam aren't installed anywhere.
Code:
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/SBo/clamav-0.96.5/test'
Making all in clamdtop
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/SBo/clamav-0.96.5/clamdtop'

All of a sudden without rhyme or reason, My Lucid Lynx install stopped connecting to my network. This was without any intervention from me as I did not modify install or change anything prior to this happening.
What I have gathered so far is that upon initial boot eth0 seems to always be disabled. So I ifconfig eth0 up to bring it back online. All the settings in the network applet seem to be intact for my manual network that has DHCP disabled. Let me re-iterate that these settings worked fine for months then all of a sudden something went belly up. The same machine will connect fine with the same settings from within Win7.
ifconfig command shows both eth0 and the loopback interface but eth0 never manages to secure the 192.168.1.3 address that it should have. ping 192.168.1.1 returns "Network unreachable" so it appears the connection is being cut off at the machine and not the router. I did check to make sure the connection was even recognized and it sees the wired connection going to the router, but nothing else.
/etc/network/interfaces only shows two lines regarding the loopback interface and nothing else; eth0 seems non-existant within this file which I find odd.

I am running 64-bit current. I have not identified which update started the Dolphin crashes, but it recently has been happening very often, usually within a few seconds of starting it, but not always.
Googling suggested that it might be a dbus issue, so I rolled my own package using dbus-1.4.0 and the slackbuild from the 64 bit current source.
Dolphin has been rock solid since. I noticed that there was an 'allow root globally' patch which I commented out. I am guessing that this may affect applications that I have not used yet or the issue has been fixed in version 1.4.
I have not seen any evidence that other current users have had this problem, but maybe Robby would consider an upgrade?

every here and there i enter a page where a box pops up:Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page . After a number of steps I am at a page by Adobe, and I download what seems to be a generic package (Ubuntu will of course be there).But its instalation has never proved helpful. Still the same pop-up. Are there binaries for Slack or a way to get the sources?

I installed Fedora today, and I automatically had internet connection, I never had do configure anything myself. Then, I was playing around with VPN for a good while (trying to set up the VPN connection to my University), and now, I suddenly lost my connection to the internet!
But only Fedora can't connect anymore, the Windows PC has connection as well as my Mac OS X (I dualboot Linux on my MacBook). The Ethernet connection works as well, when I unplug the cable, Fedora gives me a message, but I just don't get into the internet!
Does anyone have an ides what I have to do? I don't know anything about network connections and I'm new to Linux...
I already restarted the Computer, but that didn't work, and Google didn't really held either.

I should have poked around a little harder but I remember that I was experimenting with an ssh proxy when a the hotel. Apparently when I setup the proxy settings in Chrome I must have clicked the "set system wide" button and set every browser to browse through the proxy. I even had to enter a password to change that setting. I thought I changed it back after experimenting but apparently I did not. Today I just started my Ubuntu 9.04 laptop to find that I can not browse web pages. I tried multiple browsers including Chrome, Firefox and Epiphany. Each one gives me the same error message:
Epiphany:
"www.google.com" dropped the connection.
The server dropped the connection before any data could be read. The server may be busy or you may have a network connection problem. Try again later.
Firefox:
Connection Interrupted.
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.
Chrome:
This webpage is not available.
The webpage at [URL] might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
So now most of you are ready to ask me to check my connection using ifconfig etc. But here is the rub: I can download updates, install software using apt-get, ssh, scp, download files with wget, ping web sites and browse the net using the text browser Links (so pretty much everything else works.) I cant figure out what has happened. The last time I used my laptop was this past weekend in a hotel using their wireless and then connecting using a captive portal. And everything worked fine.
My only theory is the hotels captive portal might have messed up something but what that is is beyond me. I tried using both wired and wireless connections and still the same thing. Re booting does nothing. So in order to surf the web I have to use my virtual box Windows XP image. So here I am typing this message in Firefox on windows XP in a virtual machine on my Ubuntu laptop that for some reason will not let me view websites.

1. I can connect to my slack 13 laptop via PuTTY on my GF's windows laptop. Can I actually copy things from my laptop to her machine using 'scp', or is PuTTY just used for browsing my linux filesystem on a windows machine? Google has been telling me about some software called 'WinSCP', which can copy files over, but I was just wandering if i can do this anyway using PuTTY?
2. The first time i did connect to my laptop from my GF's laptop (and also my ubuntu desktop) I get the warning about the host key is not cached in client machine("the server's rsa2 key fingerprint is: ssh-rsa XXXX xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx: etc etc). I understand why this happens, but I have no idea where to find this value on my host laptop. I can find the actual key, but not the fingerprint (i.e. the xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" etc). i blindly typed "yes" to get SSH working?
3. When i connect from the internet (rather than over my home network) will i need some kind of 'shell login account' to do this cuz i dont have a static IP. ie i'd like to do 'ssh tom@myAccount.com' rather than 'tom@123.432.32.23'? Where or how can i make this happen?

I recently installed wicd on a notebook with Squeeze. I can connect to the wireless network at my place. However I cannot connect at my friend's place. It timed out with the message: "Connection failed. Cannot obtain ip address."
It is a Thomson router/modem and the key is a 10 digit 64bit Hex. I did not see 64bit Hex option in wicd. So, I tried all 3 WEP options and none of them worked. We can connect to the same network with another computer with Squeeze and NM and also with Windows. This is the first time I am using wicd.

Newish to linux, been using Ubuntu for about a year, moved onto Sabayon 4.2 now. I also have another laptop with Kubuntu that is using Network Manager, it has no problem connecting to my wireless, one wireless uses WEP and one uses WPA 2. When my main laptop used Ubuntu it was using Network Manager, that connected with no problem. However Sabayon seems to have a problem. Initially I thought it was the DVD that I used to install it in, but after re-burning it and installing from fresh the problem still remains. What happens is that NM when connecting to a wireless prompts for a passkey, I enter it in and it fails right away.
This happens for WEP and WPA. If the network is unsecure then it connects with no problem. So I emerged WICD 1.6 to see if that would work, it hangs on 'Obtaining IP Address'. If I put static IP then it connects, but this cant be an option as at my University campus I cant set a static IP. I have tried to find the log file for NM, but cannot locate it. I understand that it should be located in /var/log/daemon.log, but daemon.log does not exist on my system. I checked every NM directory and could not find any log files. I have tried changing the settings in WICD to no effect.

I 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.

I'm at a family member's house for the holiday and was trying to use their wifi. Its a WEP connection (I tried to tell them to change but they won't listen). In the wicd connection manager, I see their network, set the encryption to WEP (passphrase), enter the password, and hit connect. It says bringing up the card, checking authentication, then gets to Acquiring IP address, sits there for a minute, then times out saying unable to connect.
I know I used the right password because it passed the Authenticating part (tested with a wrong password that hangs at this point). I know that my wifi card works because I used a store's unsecured wifi connection through wicd. I know the wifi network works because my brother's windows netbook can get on just fine. I'm running through the same router right now with a wire instead. Why I can't connect wirelessly?

I have no idea where to start with WICD. I know it's on the Slackware 13 CD and where it is on the cd but from there I'm really just lost as what to do with the files there and such.
I'm so used to Windows and programming on Windows in C# .NET and tweaking/hacking there that I have no idea where to really start with Linux so if you have any special tips or places to go to read up on stuff so I can maybe figure out more about Linux and this I'd like that a lot.
