[DNG] simple-netaid-backend debugged.
Hi Everyone, My version of simple-netaid-backend has been debugged to connect when there is only one active wifi hotspot. It was previously failing to connect because there was an error in a while loop which prevented iteration from taking place when there was only one active wifi hotspot. Please, note my graphical frontend does not use unnecessary cosmetics to make it look appealing to the eyes. My aim was simplicity and low use of system processing and memory. Moreover, the backend establishes a connection using low level calls to avoid using ifupdown. It uses instead ifconfig, iwconfig, wpa_supplicant and dhclient. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

I’m running consolekit with lightdm on a regular ascii. I just installed slim alongside lightdm and set it as default. Rebooted and logged in via slim. I get nothing listed when running 'w' and 'who'. Checking output of 'last' shows the reboot time correctly but my slim login doesn’t appear at all. I switched back to lightdm and I see my user appearing in the output of both 'w' and 'who'. The 'last' output also shows my lightdm login from tty7. I should note that this login account comes from winbind, but I don’t think that should be affecting this at all? —Tom ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Yes, though I just discovered it on my system, and whilst I believe it's a plain, dist-upgraded ascii with a well-defined couple of variations, I've also "fixed things"(tm). Does anyone else have bogus 'w'/'last' reports? Ralph. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

I was too fast: I'm still getting the 'w' report: -- 08:06:53 up 0 min, 0 users, load average: 0.29, 0.08, 0.02 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT -- (I was logged in on tty1 and confused myself before) Likewise, 'last' tells about reboot and tty1 login(s) but not my 'slim' logins. But, it seems unrelated to the update, since I getting the same with the previous slim distributions as well; I returned to 1.3.6-5.1+devuan2 just to verify, and I've now also gone "back" to 1.3.6-5+devuan4, which 'apt-cache policy slim' claims is the jessie version; the 'w' report stays the same (also after reboots). So, apparently 'slim' since long ago believes something else is responsible for registring the session(s), but that something else doesn't agree. Maybe that's down to 'consolekit', then? A fantastic opportunity for me to gain some "new" knowledge, that I ran into by accident :) Ralph. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

I mainly test with elogind so reports of working with consolekit is very helpful. Thanks Mark ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
Re: [DNG] Request for testing of slim/experimental
Hmm .. a reboot sorted it(?) I had "0 users" before, but now I'm counted. I pulled in the updated slim (downgrade) into my ASCII laptop, and is using consolekit (and xfce4), so maybe this is not a useful test at all. Sorry for the noise. (It seems though the required libfontconfig1 upgrade was an improvement; so I'll keep this). Ralph.

I don't see this -- last and w output sane data. Are you using consolekit2 or elogind? Mark ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
