python on FR, need a little help

2008-08-11 Thread Christian Weßel
Hello,

for my notebook I found a very good NetworkManager spare called wicd
(http://wicd.sourceforge.net/), it is a python based application to
handle WLAN.

I am a absolute python newbie. But this little appl. is pretty nice and
I want to bring it up and running on FR.

First I installed python manually following packages in this order:
libpython
python-core
python-lang
python-threading
libdbus
python-dbus
python-math
libcrypto
libssl
python-io
python-re
python-stringold
python-logging
bzip2
python-misc
python-pycairo
python-pygobject
python-shell
python-pygtk
python-fcntl
python-codecs
python-pickle
python-subprocesses
python-threading
python-xml

Allways the latest version from scaredyCat
(http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/packages/armv4t/).

I am able to enter 'python' in terminal and I get a valid answer.

Then I copied all files from wicd to there locations, replaced two PNG
files by the original one from pixmaps. After a reboot I see the appl.
at the list of appl..

But I could not start the appl. :-(. The dmesg shows me just an old
entry, so I don't know why the appl. ist not starting.

Where can I find some hints about the reasons/issues/problems etc.?

Is any python/FR guru able to give me a little help?

The daemon seems to be running.
A gui is opened with a three items on top (Network, Disconnect, Refresh)

At the same time at my ssh console I receive 'ifconfig: none: error

Before that I saw 'sh: ethtool: not found'.

Re: python on FR, need a little help

2008-08-11 Thread Christian Weßel
After the first start I got some new conf files in /opt/wicd/data/
1. manager-settings.conf
2. wired-settings.conf
3. wireless-settings.conf

Inside [1] I changed the wireless-interface to eth0 und the
wired-interface to usb0. After restart of daemon and gui now I see the
WLAN and LAN around FR. Just the handling is sad, the display is not
reacting about the clicks. So I can't configure any WLAN.

I will research further on, maybe some python guy can help.

2008-08-12 Thread Bumbl
someone @irc had a look on the wicd code
and told me that huge parts have to be rewritten to
run it with the openmoko

wicd assumes for example that a wireless interface
has to be named wlan0

That problem is solved. I got the latest version wicd-1.5.1 and now I am
discussing with the developers about a problem by
configuration/installation of wicd.

I will keep the community informed.
