Re: [i3] managing wifi with i3

[Jeff Bauer]

I use wicd with i3, but it always fails when I attempt to connect to a network
that requires authentication (virtually all of them, these days).  There's some
error in the Python code that I have tracked down yet, so I log into new
networks with nm-applet the first time, then with wicd thereafter.

[Valentin Rusu]

I use wicd instead of NetworkManager and I'm very happy with it. It
would connect as soon as I login in text mode, so by the time I3 is up,
the connection is already there.

Re: [i3] Mouse capture problem i3 and OBS

[Michael Stapelberg]

Have you tried reproducing this problem with any other window manager that
offers a tabbed mode?

[i3] Mouse capture problem i3 and OBS

[Zenny]

Hi,

Having problem with redundant mouse capture in OBS running with i3-wm.

When the mouse is moved to change some recording settings in the OBS
interface at the bottom or in the canvas, the mouse movement for those
modifications gets displayed in the canvas and gets recorded in the
final input, even when there is no source of screen capture of the
machine in which OBS is running.

This problem is only when in the tabbed mode, but not in the tiling
mode of i3-wm. By changing the tabbed mode ($MOD+w) to tiling mode
($MOD+e), the mouse movements for OBS settings modifications
disappears and that is what actually desired.

Posted a bug report to OBS guys:
https://obsproject.com/mantis/view.php?id=340 and posting here if that
has to anything with i3-wm?

Thanks!

I have the following in my ~/.xsessionrc, and it works correctly:

if [ "X$DESKTOP_SESSION" = Xi3 ]; then
nm-applet &
# and other stuff
fi

Re: [i3] managing wifi with i3

[Ingo Bürk]

The window manager is neither responsible nor involved in network
management at all, so I'm afraid you're looking in the wrong direction here.

[i3] managing wifi with i3

[Robert Grah]

Hey there,



I am having some problems getting wifi to work in i3. I tried to add



exec--no-startup-id nm-applet
to my config and this braught me the icon, but it can not find any wifi 
networks.

It seems that there are some problems with the session or similar. I also tried 
wicd or gnome-network-manager all without results. 



I am using Ubuntu 15.04 and i3 4.10.4.



Any ideas?
