Bug#642546: wicd-curses: wired autoconnect doesn't work
David Does it happen if you run the client as non-root? No, it works now. I don't know if it is the non-root or something else I changed, but it connects automatically now as expected. Sorry it took me so lang to get back to this issue. -- Ian Zimmerman gpg public key: 1024D/C6FF61AD fingerprint: 66DC D68F 5C1B 4D71 2EE5 BD03 8A00 786C C6FF 61AD Rule 420: All persons more than eight miles high to leave the court. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#642546: wicd-curses: wired autoconnect doesn't work
Package: wicd-curses Version: 1.7.0+ds1-6 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, In the wicd-curses interface, I went to the Prefs panel (by hitting P) and selected the option Always switch to wired connection when available. I saved the prefs (with F10), exited wicd-curses, shut down the computer, connected the ethernet cable, and booted back up. Result: no network connection. Moreover, when I start wicd-curses, before the interface is displayed, I get a brief message Rename failed. Connection still down when wicd-curses interface comes up. But manually selecting the wired connection in the list and hitting C to connect does work. Note that when I don't connect the ehternet cable, the computer connects automatically to my home WiFi upon boot, as expected. I expected that it would work with similar ease for the wired connection. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages wicd-curses depends on: ii python2.6.7-3 ii python-urwid 0.9.9.2-1 ii wicd-daemon 1.7.0+ds1-6 Versions of packages wicd-curses recommends: pn sudo none wicd-curses suggests no packages.

But manually selecting the wired connection in the list and hitting C to connect does work. I got that reported in the upstream IRC channel as well. However, that rename failed is because it couldn't rename the process from python to something more sensible. I don't think it's related to the connection at all. Would you please attach relevant parts of /var/log/wicd/wicd.log ? Also with debugging information enabled could be useful, thanks. Do you have the chance to test the graphical client (wicd-gtk)?

David I got that reported in the upstream IRC channel as well. However, David that rename failed is because it couldn't rename the process David from python to something more sensible. I don't think it's David related to the connection at all. Ok, makes sense. David Would you please attach relevant parts of /var/log/wicd/wicd.log David ? Also with debugging information enabled could be useful, David thanks. It must be sanitized, since it contains the WPA preshared key. (Which is pretty scary in itself, I think). So it will take a while. David Do you have the chance to test the graphical client (wicd-gtk)? David So that we can exclude a problem in wicd-curses itself. Hmm .. I'm not into running graphical apps as root. I'll try the command line client, though. BTW, I lied: it behaves the same for the wireless connection now. It definitely used to autoconnect to that, though. So it's a regression :-P -- Ian Zimmerman gpg public key: 1024D/C6FF61AD fingerprint: 66DC D68F 5C1B 4D71 2EE5 BD03 8A00 786C C6FF 61AD Rule 420: All persons more than eight miles high to leave the court. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
