What kind of encryption do you use (set in your router, not computer) .... WEP or WPA1/2
If it's WPA, check to see if you have wpa_supplicant installed.

Also, if WPA you can try manually.

In term:
CODE
# ifconfig wlan0 up
# iwconfig wlan0 essid "my_network"
# wpa_supplicant -B -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
# dhcpcd wlan0

replace "wlan0" with your own (usually wlan0 is correct, but some systems default to eth1)
replace "my network" with your routers essid.

FWIW, WEP is so insecure that it's basically the same as having no encyption at all.

Anyways, I'm not quite sure what the problem could be. It might be a problem with your particulat card's driver, it might be a wicd related problem (did you try wicd-curses in terminal instead of the normal wicd gui?), it could be an encryption issue...etc.

what does this output?
CODE
iwconfig


Also, to connect manually, try this:
CODE
iwconfig wlan0 enc blah-blah

replace wlan0 with your wireless device if necessary. replace blah-blah with your WEP encryption key.
If you can some error message, try replacing enc with "key' (without quotes)

...then
CODE
ifconfig wlan0 essid any


...and then
CODE
iwconfig wlan0 up


You should "man iwconfig" in terminal to check all it's options.

Just to note, you have to check if your wireless network uses WEP Passphrase or Preshared key. wicd differentiates it. If you set wicd to Passphrase but your router is set to Preshared, then you will get an authentication failure.

Hope Zai's still around to try it. He's been quiet for a few hours now, I'm worried he ran back to Gnome and/or *buntu already. sweat.gif

LOL worried....

At least its still linux. If he said he is going back to Windows or :gasp: OSX, then somebody better stop him quick.

But he might have messed up all the configs with all the codes being thrown around. I think its better to put everything to default 1st. Wireless is usually dynamic addresses (dhcp assigned). This is because if you assign it as static, you'll have problems at starbucks/coffeebeans/oldkopitiam for sure.

LOL -- i never go back to ubuntu

Was busy finishing my slides last night laugh.gif sry

here , iwconfig


lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=27 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:6469-6E67-3932-3132-3330-3130-33

pan0 no wireless extensions.

Hmm , i guess everyones modem is passphrase ?

Added on July 13, 2011, 4:37 pmUpdate : even if i connect to wireless manually via urxvt with commands ~ still give me timeout when i typed dhcpcd wlan0

But it seems no error with : iwconfig wlan0 essid "HausOfGaga" key "s:xxxxx"

sweat.gif

@farkinid , Any how i can revert the settings back to normal ? sweat.gif

I assume that you are using a tiling WM. So everything is command line right?

I don't think there is a revert to default button, so you'll have to manually undo everything you have done so far. Once that is done you can check and see if you are having the authentication problem again. If you aren't but yet still can't get connected, I suggest d/l-ing aircrack-ng to get your wireless card associated with the wireless network.

Aircrack won't fix your problem but it might help testing if your wireless card has problems associating with the network. There might be an easier method to check for association problems but I've always just used aircrack. Also if it does get associated, you can try wireshark analysis to find out what packets are being thrown back and forth.

It doesn't sound like a problem in acquiring network address. The 3 main parts of connecting to a wireless network are
  1. Association
  2. Authentication
  3. Acquisition

At this point, the only thing we know is that Authentication already fails. Acquisition doesn't come into the picture yet. Therefore, need to check the 1st 2.

Good to hear you're solving issues by yourself. Best way to learn. smile.gif

Those weird A things in your scrotbar. Unfortunately, ScrotWM doesn't seem to recognize UTF-8 symbols (like degrees or boxes). You often get those weird A things if you use them. modify your conkyrc or baraction.sh accordingly.

So it's not just chromium but other GTK/GUI apps as well?

Okay, first try this.

Check to see if you have a .fonts.conf file in your home folder (enable hidden files in your file manager). If you don't have it, create it. If you already have it, make a backup and keep it somewhere safe.

Then, in an empty .fonts.conf, put these contents in and save. I'll give you 3 separate configs. Try em all and see which one fits you best.

Type1:

</fontconfig>

<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle"><const>hintnone</const></edit>

</fontconfig>


Note: You'll need to restart X for each different setting to take effect.

Also,
If you're still not satisfied with that, you can try installing a patched version of libcairo2.

The safest way is to add mozilla sources. Details found here: http://mozilla.debian.net/
Remember to choose the correct type for your install (Squeeze, testing, unstable) and select either 'release' or 'beta' for the version. Also make sure to authenticate and import keyrings (be safe, it's the Debian way).

Then, as root (or sudo) do:
CODE
apt-get update
apt-get install libcairo2


Restart X.

Note: I'm not 100% sure about Chrome/Chromium font rendering, but it does improve the fonts for all other GTK/QT/GUI apps. I read somewhere that Chrome had some issues with rendering, but that was long ago.

Edit:
Ah, almost forgot. Some websites will only display their stoopid Ariel or Helvetica nonsense correctly only if you have that msttcorefonts package installed.
CODE
apt-get install msttcorefonts
