Description: Wicd Client KDE is a Wicd client build on the KDE Development Platform.
Please report bugs on https://bugs.kde.org/
Wicd Client KDE is now a plasmoid! Don't forget to add it to your panel.Last changelog:
v0.3.1 ------------------------------------------------ - Always hide password input - Fix crash if the applet is started and the daemon is not running - Fix KDE 4.5 build - Fix arm build
This is from KAuth Troubleshooting:
You tried to execute an invalid action object. If you encountered this error, you're into weird stuff. File a bug against KAuth.

I agree this is really good plasmoid. But I am unable to enter any encryption or scripts as I get an error: KAuth returned an error code: 3, when trying to do this.
Any ideas?
I'm running 0.3.1 on KDE 4.11.4. The wicd daemon works perfectly and connection is not a problem.
thanks

Hi, you should not use synchronous dbus calls in any plasmoid, they can cause the entire desktop to freeze for a few seconds, which is quite annoying. Anything that uses waitForFinished, QDBusReply or 'call()' are synchronous calls. You should try to cache the result of GetConnectionStatus and connect a signal to update to wicd daemon to just update the result.
Beautiful and Wonderful plasmoid!
...the only thing I noticed is that in some conditions (ie. when the connection is dropped because the router doesn't give an ip address) the whole plasma desktop hangs for 2/3 seconds...
Anyone else noticed this?
(I'm using archlinux, kde 4.8.2)
Hi, it's a nice widget, perfect for KDE.
But I doesn't have a possibility to configure encrypted network. No dialog or box for set enc-type and enter password.
OS:gentoo
Version:0.3.0
wicd_version: 1.7.1-r3
kde_version: 4.8.1
I raised a bug on gentoo bugzila:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409375
Thank you for a great wicd integration with KDE, it rocks! I like the new applet - simple, usable, consistent with the rest of the standard KDE applets.
Hello,
i just try to install this widget but on make i have next problem:

Hi,
yes there is a problem with the build on KDE 4.5. This will be fixed in the next version, the fix is available here:
http://commits.kde.org/wicd-kde/1dfd9999b0974337eb7625a0f93bdd2b2c76a0a0
Hi
I've added wicd-kde to the panel, and it works quite good,
though at startup if wicd daemon is not running, it makes plasma crash.
Here's a backtrace (sorry some debug symbols are missing)

good
but here on kubuntu 11.10 i have compiled
and adding to destkop ==> plasma-desktop crash
rebooting ==> no more crash
another little issue if you add to desktop insted of the panel :) it's very little you can't configure it
After much trial and error, I discovered that simply deleting the wicd-gtk.desktop file from the /usr/share/autostart/ directory is quite sufficient to keep the tray icon from loading alongside the wicd-kde icon.
Hi,
this is actually the intended behaviour. These icons do not describe status, but actions. So if the network is connected, the action the button triggers is "disconnect", thus the disconnect icon.
The status of the connection is displayed in the statusbar at the bottom.
These buttons have very strange behavior.
While original wicd manager (gnome version) has labeled buttons, and a multi-line row for each station (some kind of usual interface for gnome user, inspired by firefox multi-lists, I suppose), kde version (this one, wicd-kde) however does not follow "gnome standard" and does not have multi-lined station row nor labeled actions in it.
From other hand, wicd-kde does not follow "kde standard" approach to display status and actions (for example I have N stations scanned, but wicd-kde window layout has always N+1 disconnect buttons).
I think that wicd is a good software, but if wicd-kde tend to follow KDE usability approach, it is better to display things in a way that usual KDE user is awaiting from his/her KDE desktop (e.g. in KDE-ish way), so eye will not cry when a numerous "action" buttons change their status according to available action. In KDE environment this looks like a misproper functional overhead which does not relate to real network interface state.
I mean that indeed a network interface can be connected and disconnected, with a station as configuration parameter (ssid). But wicd-kde shows instead that station can be connected/disconnected, and these actions are self-contained (independent from each other), so "in KDE words" this looks like I can connect them all (or several), but this is not true.
If this is a KDE app, why it can not be usual to KDE user?
Hello. I am using this, and it greate compose with all qt app and desktop. but I got a problem with this old agly and huge window of wicd-gtk. What should I do to deleate it from autostart, because now I got the both: the wicd-client-kde and wicd-gtk.
J got wicd from packages of /slacware/extra from Slackware distro cd.
please help. thanks
Ok. I find out how to prevent a starting automatically the wicd-gtk window (and systray icon to)
you have to only go to the dir:
/usr/share/wicd/gtk/ (or similar- depends on distro-in my case-slackware)
and then just rename file "wicd-client.py" in the way you like it.
the program wouldnt find it and wouldnt run.
I get that error
bash-4.1$ wicd-gtk
/usr/bin/python: can't open file '/usr/share/wicd/gtk/wicd-client.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
bash-4.1$
it's all

Hi, yes there is a problem with the build on KDE 4.5. This will be fixed in the next version, the fix is available here: http://commits.kde.org/wicd-kde/1dfd9999b0974337eb7625a0f93bdd2b2c76a0a0
ok, install is pass ok and now when i try to add in panel he crash.. log say next: http://pastebin.com/BS9nT8Hk What next?
What I need is the backtrace given by Dr Konqui. Also please be sure that wicd-deamon is running before adding the applet to the panel.
that was the problem, did not start it :) thank you for this good work. best regards!
Is there a system tray icon available for those who don't use GTK nor Plasma? I want to use TDE instead http://trinitydesktop.org/ (fork of KDE3)
No but if you still use Wicd 1.7.0 you can try Wicd Client KDE v0.2.3. You'll need at least kdelibs 4.5 though.

From other hand, wicd-kde does not follow "kde standard" approach to display status and actions (for example I have N stations scanned, but wicd-kde window layout has always N+1 disconnect buttons). I think that wicd is a good software, but if wicd-kde tend to follow KDE usability approach, it is better to display things in a way that usual KDE user is awaiting from his/her KDE desktop (e.g. in KDE-ish way), so eye will not cry when a numerous "action" buttons change their status according to available action. In KDE environment this looks like a misproper functional overhead which does not relate to real network interface state. I mean that indeed a network interface can be connected and disconnected, with a station as configuration parameter (ssid). But wicd-kde shows instead that station can be connected/disconnected, and these actions are self-contained (independent from each other), so "in KDE words" this looks like I can connect them all (or several), but this is not true. If this is a KDE app, why it can not be usual to KDE user?
the selected text item in the view does not follow the "highlightedtext" set in kcmshell4 colors dialog :) good app otherwise :) //Robert
Hi, It seems to work fine here. Could you provide a screenshot?
Hello. I am using this, and it greate compose with all qt app and desktop. but I got a problem with this old agly and huge window of wicd-gtk. What should I do to deleate it from autostart, because now I got the both: the wicd-client-kde and wicd-gtk. J got wicd from packages of /slacware/extra from Slackware distro cd. please help. thanks
Ok. I find out how to prevent a starting automatically the wicd-gtk window (and systray icon to) you have to only go to the dir: /usr/share/wicd/gtk/ (or similar- depends on distro-in my case-slackware) and then just rename file "wicd-client.py" in the way you like it. the program wouldnt find it and wouldnt run. I get that error bash-4.1$ wicd-gtk /usr/bin/python: can't open file '/usr/share/wicd/gtk/wicd-client.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory bash-4.1$ it's all
hmm.. try to find the .desktop entry in ~/.config/autostart/ and simply delete.
