I'm using e17-lighte iso.
Should I kill any running network application before start wicd?
I quite network-applet from system tray before starting wicd.

Try the following:

Code: [Select]

suThen enter your root-password (you won't see any reaction, until you press <ENTER>)
After that:

Code: [Select]

dbus-launch wicd
And let us know what happens

Hi rubentje1991.

Nothing happens. There is no any output.



However when I enter
# dbus-launch wicd-gtk

2 error massages appear:

1) Could not connect to wicd's D-Bus interface.  Check the wicd log for error messages.

2) The wicd daemon has shut down. The UI will not function properly until it is restarted.

Is there something going wrong with the standard net_applet? (network manager)?

Does someone know where the log of Wicd is located (it's NOT in /opt/wicd/.... suggested by some Google searching)...?

With standard net_applet (configure interface) I can set this wifi card to share inet by adhoc.
But when i select mode managed I can`t connect to any wireless AP.
And it doesn't give a reason, just an error. I thought wicd will give more output.
Where can I see why connection doesn't work with standard net_applet?
