Ceni basically adds info to the /etc/network/interfaces file, so when I came back in to a trinity session, it was already there. -- Paul Cartwright

It sounds like his LXDE desktop gave him the rights to make the needed entries but Trinity did not. Once the entries were made in LXDE, the Trinity tools worked fine - I suspect they did not need root privileges at that point. Just a guess - John

I posted last year a kdesu problem with X apps as root..I don't know how to link back there. I don't and won't use sudo in a debian installation. There was not much response, I can only assume everybody else here uses sudo. My fix was to purge kdesudo-trinity, then change relevant menu entries to: kdesu --nonewdcop (root app) and make sure "run as a different user" is unchecked. Ceni is not affected if called from a root terminal, it's ncurses based. For me that is the easiest method for first-off network config. After that I use wpa_gui to setup multiple wireless networks.

Never a problem here using Ceni in a Trinity session. I don't use any other network setup apps, only ceni, wpa_gui or manual configs. Ceni should be called in a root terminal. It should not matter what desktop. What actually happens when you run it in Trinity? Regarding wpa_gui, it's really good if you use more than one network. Once setup it just connects automatically to the first available. A user can edit/add networks quickly and easily. It has scan function also. It's qt4 but doesn't need many deps But it doesn't configure your interface, just networks. You have to edit /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf manually one time only. Offtopic for this thread, but are you saying you can use kdesu (it's not a package in itself) without a problem,? I cannot without the fix I mentioned before, it crashes kdeinit. With or without sudo-trinity installed. For example, how do you open kwrite, konqueror, kuser, synaptic or other X apps as root?

I'm having some problems also: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $ knetworkmanager knetworkmanager: WARNING: [Q_UINT32 Device::getDeviceType() const] knetworkmanager: WARNING: [Q_UINT32 Device::getDeviceType() const] knetworkmanager: ERROR: req name failed for org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection knetworkmanager: ERROR: req name failed for org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection.Secrets knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found! knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found! knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found! knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found! knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found! knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found! knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found! knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found! knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found! knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found! knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found! knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found! knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found! knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found! knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found! knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found! knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found! knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found! knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found! knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I managed to compile Trinity's KNetworkManager against KDE 3.5.10 but I keep getting these erros, as with 0.7, NetworkManager is version 0.8.

Because Trinity isn't available in my distro and I was recommended to wait for the CMake port before taking more serious adventures :) Best regards On Thu, Feb 17, 2011 at 12:01 AM, John A. Sullivan III < jsullivan(a)opensourcedevel.com&gt; wrote:
