Title: Problems re-startting wifi / wicd
Post by: areinink on January 11, 2011, 06:20:07 AM

I am using TC3.4, for wireless connections I use the wicd extension [2.6]
I can connect to the internet using wifi. Everthing just worked fine.

But after rebooting, the PC stopped at the point it starts/loads the extensions.
After power down and restart, TC starts normally.

Everytime I want to use the internet I have to start Wicd using "sudo wicd-start" in a terminal.
After that I have to use the connectionmanager to connect wireless and type my wifi-key to connect.
It did not find a way to preserve the settings.

Everytime I use the PC I have to follow these procedure.
Is there a way to autostart the wireless connection?

Thanks for replies!

Thanks for your quick reply.
I managed to backup the files and half the problem is solved.

To add Wicd to the startup file and have a desktop integration the info says:
[Run 'wicd-start' as root to start wicd daemon]
You can add it to Xfce4/LXDE startup
Add 'wicd-client' to Xfce4/LXDE startup to have wicd panel applet

Where can I find the "startup" ?
[I use the standard Window Manager that came with TC3.4]

Thanks for answering my question.
