Ok, after I'd already decided I don't have time for cr*p, and that's the adjective to use for describing software which poos its pants on startup with screenfuls of python barf, instead of saying that the wicd default config has access protection enabled and therefore the user runing wicd-client needs to be a member of the netdev group. Googling for the error msg has only one answer, and that's in a Polish blog. Fortunately my Polish was good enough to understand the one important word, being /etc/dbus-1/system.d/wicd.conf ;) At first glance it does what I need to do. Thanks Andrew! Now some similar program for screen sizes would be good too, as xorg.conf is empty and no obvious tool is readily apparent. vmware starting up 800x600 gets a tad annoying after a while. I also need to config an old TNT 64 Pro card where kubuntu throws the same trick. > One thing is that wicd does not play nice with network-manager. Sounds like a turf fight to me :) Thanks, Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
