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 RepliesI installed Enlightenment into my machine and, in the course of the installation, Network Manager was removed. I now have no internet connection. I've searched and tried a couple of possible solutions here but I cannot get them to work. When I try to use a downloaded deb file Gdebi cannot install it. It seems that if I re-install Network Manager I'll lose a lot of my Enlightenment installation. What I'd like to do is install Wicd. I dual boot with Win 7 so all is not lost. I understand that there's a way to istall Wicd from the command line without an internet connection but I cannot figure out how to do it.
View 3 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.

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 RelatedI'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 a Ubuntu 10.04 laptop that gets its Internet connection via WIFI using WICD as network manager, and Windows XP desktop with no Internet connection. What I want to do is share my Internet connection from my laptop with my desktop via a Ethernet cable. But i have no idea what to do. How do i go about doing this?

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?

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 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 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 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.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I seem to be having "disconnects" from my wireless network where I stay connected but am unable to ping any hosts, including my router.
I would like to make a simple cron script that checks for this and reconnects.
Is there a clean way to tell wicd to reconnect?
How about sudo /etc/init.d/wicd restart?

I have just installed Ubuntu 9.10 (64 Bit) and I'm trying my best to get this Linksys WMP300N wireless adapter to work.I have searched and gone through a number of threads here with some level of progress but I still can not get this to work.Adapter info is BCM43XG [14e4:4329] rev 01I have installed driver bcmwl5.inf using ndiswrapper and ndisgtk.I had absolutely no success trying to use network manager applet so uninstalled it and went with Wicd instead which at least sees my SSID network with a strong signal.My network is encrypted using WPA and I entered the passphrase which seems to pass authentication but it keeps trying to get an IP address until finally it just tosses a failed message.I feel as though I'm really close but it just won't connect.
iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

I've installed ubuntu 9.10 using a minimal install and started from there installing the rest of the things I needed.
I'm running KDE4.4 and Wicd 1.6.1.
Problem is, wicd worked fine, but I don't know what happened before I got this annoying problem.
After logging into KDE, wicd asks me for my password in order to connect to the network-device. After filling that in, I get the message code...
As you can see in the logging, internet is working fine. I manually have to start wicd-client and I get an extra wicd-icon in the taskbar showing me the signal strength as it should do.
I've been searching a lot, but can't find anything about this, except a lot of people having the same errormessage, but they have some errors in the wicd.log too.
i just installed ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix on my acer aspireone ao532h netbook, and so far, it's been working beautifully. much better than the windows 7 starter edition that came with the machine. the only problem i've experienced so far had to do with the wireless connection. initially, the connection would drop during certain types of activities (e.g. downloading updates or programs, or even streaming videos videos) and the network manager would freeze so completely that i'd have to hard reboot. that seems to have been fixed by installing wicd (following a suggestion here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1135723&page=2), meaning that it hasn't disconnected in the several hours since i've been using it. however, wicd has a different problem: it disconnects after a suspend / resume cycle. this requires a reboot to fix also, as not only does it disconnect, but it looses awareness of the network altogether. obviously, this could be a real headache on a netbook that gets closed and opened frequently.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI had no luck with network manager and i was surfing the net and it said wicd was better so i installed that and installed 1.6.1 But it was not obtaining an ip address
So i searched again and ppl said that its a problem with 1.6.1 and they said 1.5.9 was better. So i installed wicd 1.5.9 and its still not obtaining an ip address.
The router is unencrypted no security, ppl suggested trying to set a security on it so i tried WEP and when i do that it gets stuck on trying to authenticate the key phrase.code...
Trying this on a Lenovo with 10.04. but after a few updates and some basic software (restricted extras) the network manager is missing. I tried installing WICD but that doesn't show up either. Going to the startup applications, it is listed and checked, and dragging it to the panel works, but clicking it does nothing.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use wicd instead of network manager because I want a "no fuss" way to use wireless on wmii. However, wicd will not find any networks unless network-manager has been run and has connected to a network since startup. If it hasn't connected to a wireless network, the wicd will find no networks, and iwlist won't provide a list of networks either.
This seems to mean that network-manager is doing something to the interface when it connects that needs to be done to make it usable, but I'm not sure what it is or how exactly to find out. I do know that the interface (eth2) will not appear in ifconfig if network manager hasn't connected, which I assume means that it hasn't been brought up. ifconfig eth2 up makes it show up, but I still can't connect with wicd. What can I do?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI use Wicd 1.7.0 to manage my wired/wireless network connections and it worked well with Ubuntu 10.10. Now that I upgraded to 11.04 the wireless indicator does not show up on the top bar, even though the wireless is connected and working. I have no way to see my connection, or view available wireless connections. I looked through system settings, but don't see any options for selecting what shows up on the top bar.
