How to permanently set wicd wired interface? eth0 changes to vboxnet0

I use wicd in Gnome. Works well, only problem is that everytime I use the laptop on-the-go (which is daily) without a wired LAN connection via eth0, wicd changes my default wired connection to vboxnet0 (obviously, I have virtualbox installed). Is there some way of permanently setting my wired connection to be eth0? It gets iritating to keep having to manually change it back when I get back to my office.
For the record, the output of cat /etc/wicd/manager-settings.conf shows
wired_interface = eth0
Can't think of any other configuration files I may edit, except for /usr/lib/*.py, which I don't have the command of python to grasp.
Assistance appreciated. And yes, i do know about netcfg, but don't really want to be hand-editing stuff for networking.

Problem solved? If not, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ude … _Each_Boot

  • How can you set a wired mouse to scroll down?

    My mouse is set to scroll horizontaly and vertically but it will only scroll up on a page, not down.  Is there any way I could fix this so my mouse can scroll down as well?

    A mouse that will scroll down but not up typically has a mouse ball with junk in it.
    To clean, turn upside-down and roll around on a rough-ish piece of clean white paper such as copy paper.

  • How do i set up controls to not change value when patches change?

    Just bought mainstage and want to set up the following  - piano or rhodes with mutes/volume available all the time, both with editable controls, PLUS hammond and pads available all the time too with mutes/volumes but using mainstage patches to select different hammond/pad configurations so that i can 'one' touch a new hammond sound WITHOUT changing my piano sounds, that have been tweeked live.  I had hoped that 'keep' in the patch change preferences would preserve my piano changes, but no they reset with every patch change.  All my sounds are AU's (ivory for piano, vb3 for hammond, sampletank for pads, and mr ray for rhodes (but seems to crash too much so may have to use evb88:-(. Any help would be gratefully received.

  • How do I set the preference to use Wired interface instead of Wifi for network?

    I have a MacBook Pro, with Thunderbolt.  Am using the Time Capsule for my wifi and backups.  Is there a way to have both Wired and Wifi connected, but use Wired when available for faster downloads as well as faster backups?
    WIll simply having the wired interface above the wifi in Network Preferences give it priority?

    Sure there is. Just run an Ethernet cable to the notebook and connect it to the Ethernet port. OS X will fedault to the wired connection and or you can turn off WiFi.
    EDIT:
    I see at the bottom of your post you have a Retina, should of stated that in the header or body of the post.
    You will need either a Thunderbolt to Ethernet or USB to Ethernet adapter to have a Wired connection to your router.

  • How to set netctl to have eth0 up and wifi

    I didn't find the clear answer, yet.
    My situation require to connect via wifi and a access point hooked on eth0 to serve more wifi users. The system works, but I must enable the eth0 manually.
    This is my setting ( a small ASCII drawing )

    Here's my setting
    $ ip route
    default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0 proto static
    192.168.1.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.2 metric 9
    192.168.2.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.2.2
    During boot I face privoxy failure because it's looking on the ethernet to be available, that it isn't automatically up, as the wifi should take priority.
    I configured a profile for route like
    $ cat /etc/netctl/wired
    Description='A basic static ethernet connection'
    Interface=eth0
    #Connection=ethernet
    IP=static
    Address=('192.168.2.2/24')
    Routes=('default metric 1 via 192.168.1.2')
    #Gateway='127.0.0.1'
    DNS=('127.0.0.1')
    DNS is managed by pdnsd. Also the internet sharing is working and iptables is finely set. Only the bother to re-enable the ethernet every boot.
    I'm afraid it doesn't start the wired configuration by netctl-systemd, At the moment I don't will to shut down, so I can't ensure that is possible. I most of my trial didn't work, then I just have to do the old style ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up and restart privoxy.
    Any advice, please.

    The Ethernet connection is used to get into my box (sets as a server), which provide Internet sharing, by some nice junk filtering.
    Then for my box the route to Internet is on 192.168.1.1, that is the gateway.
    The second route is an incoming route which will follow the the 192.168.1.1 branch. Maybe it's defined as bridge, but it isn't something of my knowledge.
    Practically we, family members, might chose either to connect to the modem directly or to my AP, the disadvantage to go directly, conflicts with my box, slower DNS and a big bunch of advertisement.
    So, the traffic starts from the right hand side to go to Internet (on the shown sketch). The AP just take newcomers to go to my box, via Ethernet connection.
    So yesterday I waited to stop, to much traffic. But this morning I restarted, because of new kernel too, but the netctl profile blatantly failed on me at the first trial. The I got back to the elder style to get things going. But I do believe that it should have a chance to start automatically.
    I read the wiki, but no one mention about this kind of lay-out.
    Furthermore, I should arrange privoxy to look out this and start after

  • Tabs: previous versions allowed for saving all tabs in a bookmark folder. The new tab groups do not behave this way. How can I save permanent set of tabs as a group that is available later, like the folder of bookmars was?

    tabs: previous versions of firefox allowed for saving all tabs with a group name, so you could open them all again later at your convenience. The new firefox 4.0.1 has a new tab feature, but the tab groups do not seem to persist once you shut down, and are not saved as a folder in your bookmarks. What am I missing? How can I do what I want (save permanent set of tabs as a group that is available later, like the folder of bookmarks was)? Thanks

    Right click one of the tabs, the "Bookmark all tabs..." option.
    Does it do what you want?

  • How can I set a permanent default language for Firefox's spellcheck feature, so that I don't have to keep manually selecting the spellcheck language I want?

    I have a few languages installed, and Firefox's spellcheck seems to decide which language to use ''at random''. So I have to keep manually selecting the language I want. 99% of the time I want English. So how can I set English as a permanent default language, and leave the manual selection for those infrequent occasions when I want another language spellchecked?

    Firefox should store the last used dictionary in the spellchecker.dictionary pref that you can check on the about:config page.

    In addition to RyanJC's comments, the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can store up to five different http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108081 configuration profiles. You will need to use the AirPort Utility to create & save these profiles.
    To create a new profile:
    Open AirPort Utility, select your AX from the list, and then, click "Manual Setup."
    From the AirPort Utility menu, select "Base Station," and then "Manage Profiles."
    Click "+" to create a new profile; give it a name, and then, click OK.
    Set options, such as network name, passwords, Internet connection method, etc.
    When done setting the options, click Update.
    To switch profiles:
    Open the AirPort Utility, select your AX from the list, and then, click "Manual Setup."
    From the AirPort Utility menu, select "Base Station," and then "Manage Profiles."
    Click on the desired profile, and then, click OK to apply the new profile and restart the AX.
    Just remember to switch to the desired configuration profile before removing power from the AX.

  • How do I set up the port interface for the WAN side of my RVS4000 to 100T Full Duplex?

    How do I set up the port interface for the WAN side of my RVS4000? The ISP says I need to set it to 100T Full Duplex, but where would I do that? In the Router's administration GUI I can't find any options to make such settings for the WAN side.

    The setup of the folders in Finder is entirely up to you. Whatever suits your needs is what you should do. Lightroom will be fine no matter how you set it up.
    So I'm not really sure what your question is.

  • How do I set an x-net can interface to listen-onl​y in Veristand?

    How can I set an X-NET CAN interface to listen-only mode, i.e. to not send any acknowledgements, in Veristand 2012?
    I can't find "Listen Only" as an option under Targets->..->Hardware->NI-XNET->CAN->CAN1->CAN Port Settings.
    Thanks,

    Hi Ken,
    I did some checking with some of my colleagues to make sure, but it sounds like you will have to create a custom device that does not send ACK messages on the bus.  The X-Net Bus Monitor does in fact send out ACK messages when it is monitoring the bus, so the only way to stop this from happening is to create your own method.  The documentation below outlines the process for creating a custom device, but we do not have guidelines for performing the specific task you are trying to accomplish.  Additionally, you could check around on our forums to see if anyone has implemented something similar.
