Have you tried Wpa_Gui that's in the tray?
Yes, it did not work either.


Jim can you attach your /var/log/messages to a post? The forum might only allow compressed attachments. To compress it open a terminal and type:

Code:
# gzip /var/log/messages


Then attach it.

Thanks
Attached, the problem could be that I just don't know what I should be entering using the Wpa_Gui. I believe that I do have the correct entries for Pwireless.

Thanks,
Jim

Jim,

It looks like your wireless is trying to connect to a open network. Wpa_gui is setup to automatically connect to what it thinks is the best open network. Sometimes the wifi driver doesn't report signal strength correctly and you connect to a weak access point. If your wireless access point is encrypted and there is also a open network available (maybe your neighbors with a weak signal) wpa_gui will automatically try to connect to the open network. This can all be overridden though. Here's how to connect using Wpa_gui.

1) Click on the Wpa_gui icon in the tray.

2) Click on scan.

3) Double click on the network you want in the scan results list. If you don't see your network in the list, go back and click disconnect, and then click scan again.

4) Enter your password, if needed, and click on add.

5) Close the scan results window (optional).

6) Use the 'Network' pull-down list to select your network (That's the second one after 'Adapter').

After that just wait a minute to connect and for dhcpcd to get a address.

The problem that I had with the Wpa_gui is the confusing layout of the NetworkConfig dialogue box. It starts with the improper notation in the Authentication box "(no authentication)", that's only correct for an open wifi network connection. Confused Note that the password box is grayed out. I finally discovered that the password must be entered in the WEP keys at "key 0" box which now states "[key is configured]". Translation, correct password was entered.Embarassed Not me, but the dialogue box designer should be.

Hopefully, someone else will benefit from my learning that the password must be entered in the key box, not the grayed out password box.

This is being posted from my laptop and everything checked so far is working fine and as I indicated earlier, some functions are faster than my desktop which has a faster processor. Very Happy

Thanks for being patient with me,
Jim

Hahaha Very Happy Can you please run "calcfreespace.sh" from terminal and copy and paste the output here? Most likely has been fixed but still good to know why it fails on your machine.

Jim, I'd never guess you are running a WEP network. It is deprecated and much less secure than WPA/WPA2. Anyway, with that hindsight now, for WEP, whatever settings you put in your wireless router, you will have do duplicate it in wpa_gui (I'm sure your router also has 4 fields for WEP key).

Anyway, here is Linus Torvalds (no less!) comments on slow blkid ... http://www.spinics.net/lists/util-linux-ng/msg02852.html He was complaining that it took 30 seconds just to scan a (admittedly slow) usb disk.

jamesbond don't forget mhwaveedit. I tried the one in the 500 repo but it didn't work. Was missing an .so file.

Thanks

I unplugged the usb printer and got the same results with no save file, about 10 min for desktop drive icons to show up versus about 20 sec with the save file with the fixed code, you PM'd. Of course, when blkid is disabled, drive icons show up immediately as they do with Fatdog64-521. I am curious about why others haven't observed the same problem. Although drive icons show up immediately on my Laptop with a similar i7 processor and on an old Dell computer with a much slower 2-core processor.

Hopefully alpha 3 won't have this problem on any hardware.

Cheers,
Jim

That's probably correct, but confusing. With WEP you have Open System authentication and Shared Key authentication, the first being more common and probably what you're using. With Open System authentication you can associate with the access point without being authenticated. You can't connect to the network without the key but anyone can associate with the access point. But like James wrote, WEP is broke. Even with bad luck you can crack 128bit WEP in less than an hour. But in reality almost no one is that interested to try.

Please include a battery monitor or am I overlooking it on my laptop installation. Sad

Thanks,

Then, there is another problem. There are a number of missing tray icons. See desktop image below.

The problem is only with the JWM desktop. I switched back to Openbox and see the icons.

JWM is still in there, but we don't really support it. Mainly because nether one of us use it. It probably should be removed, unless James wants to do something with it. I haven't tried JWM for a while, maybe it's better now?
Anyway, please use Openbox. Sorry for the confusion.

Later JWM versions are improving, fullscreen bugs fixed, screen rotation.. but there is a compositing bug which Joe is working on.

Ok.. there is a "bug" with your nifty samba share rox app.. and it only occurs when mounting a Mac share [ Rolling Eyes ]. ( I might "steal" this one Wink )

My wife has a macbook and the sharename is "Kriista's Public Folder" .. yeah trust mac devs to whack in spaces and an apostrophe for good measure!

Any way, I patched the rox app for my purposes and it seems to work fine. I'll offer the patch FWIW, so anyone who knows what they're doing can patch and use with a mac. It doesn't break windows share mount with my limited testing, but, I could have introduced something.. as there appear a lot of "mounts" for my son's windows 7 machine which aren't really shares.

Also, I made a cool overlay that I use as a "mount" icon. Attached.
