Haha thx

Actually , im talking about the autorun of nm-applet and feh ive included inside xinitrc , it wont run

Thx for the mocp

nm-applet? time to use wicd-curses

btw to make feh set your default background every logon, just put this in your .xinitrc after you've set it in feh.

I was noob enough to know that GDM does not start from xinitrc anymore

Created a .desktop and put it inside xsessions folder which will run my script all at once

wicd-curses doesn works for me weird

U didn't tell u're using GDM.
Wicd didn't work? U're using network-manager package?

@Zai
I thought you wanted a lightweight system. Why did you install GDM? O_o ... SOunds like you're trying to turn your lightweight Debian netinstall back into Gnome Debian/Ubuntu again. >_<

What kind of connection do you have? Is it a 3G USB dongle thing?
If not, can you tell us why wicd-curses didn't work? Also, NM-applet requites a systray, which Scrotwm doesn't support. (the ScrotWM dev, Marco's philosophy = if scripters don't need it, it's bullshit, so I won't support it, which is why ScrotWM doesn't have support for systrays ... and I agree with it 100%, btw)

I heard there's some sort of CLI frontend for Network manager, but I'm not sure. There's also some app for those 3G USB modems. If you use one of those, let me know and I'll hunt down my friend in IRC and ask him what he uses.

I need help here

Debian help me install gnome by itself

How am i gonna remove it fully without affecting nm-applet ? Coz my modem only give access to nm-applet

HELP !!!!!!!!! HELP HELP HELP

Really having a problem here

wicd can only connect to my eth but not wlan

an excerpt of the wicd.log :



Its weird that it is running DHCP with hostname since i did not set it so

Really need help here

your network manager has stop completely?

Yup , i killed it to test the standalone wicd

But it wont connect

Wifi right? Coz i got no experience with 3G dongle all those things.
This is my setting in Wicd.

Hmm , so we must include static ip as well ?

U're using DHCP or Static? Man.. i'm bad at teaching

nt sure la

@Zai
Sorry mate. I had a busy day at work and couldn't check back in here.
How's everything? Mind giving a status report on the current setup/installation you have. Is the Gnome libs problem solved?

Regarding your wicd problem, first tell us what kind of internet you have (DSL, Streamyx, USB3G, Maxis... etc). Then tell us what kind of wireless chipset you have.

Can Wicd see your modem or not? ... or you mean WICD cannot start?

Ok Ive installed sLim , sleek

Hmm , gonna remove everything gnome out of my debian soon after i fix this wicd problem

Im using Streamyx now , and my wireless is RTL8187B

Wicd can detect everything nicely , ive just edited my config similar to Acid but altered abit - still cant , stuck at Authentication

Aah .. so your wireless is functioning and can see your router/modem, but you just can't connect to it. Your connection is DHCP, so you you can leave stuff like IP, Netmash and Gateway under the Statip IP section blank (note, I'm talking about wicd-curses ... dunno about the GUI version). Authentication failure usually means a wrong passphrase (make sure you know whether your router uses WEP, WPA or WPA2 and change accordingly. Might be a channel clog as well, you could try setting to a different channel on your router settings.

Hmm , DHCP , trying now What should i write on the DHCP column ?

Huh? ... I don't see any DHCP column in wicd-curses. It should be just set to "automatic" . If it's asking for DHCP hostname, then give your system hostname (if your term prompt is zai@cocooh, means your hostname = cocooh)
