Hello All

The current version of wicd is not playing ball with my atheros wlan card. Yes I have checked that the ath9k module is loaded.
Here is the output from wicd-client

root@box:home/tc/# wicd-start
root@box:home/tc/# wicd-client
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".

Any suggestions would be great!
Many thanks, Miller.

According to the message it has nothing to do with the wireless card; DBUS subsystem is not running.

Miller:
Hi Bela

How do I get the dbus subsystem to run please?

Miller.

wicd-start does the job normally, no any other action needed. However in some cases you have to wait a bit till it starts-up, so try to run client a bit later. Are you using LXDE or Xfce4? If not, use 'wicd-client -n' to start GUI.

One more thing. Run client as user (tc) and not as root. Lets see the result.

Miller:
Hi Bela

Thanks for your reply.

I'm using FLWM topside (default). I ran wicd-client -n as non root user and the same error messages appears as before.


Miller.
