Is there a gnome 3 WICD applet available?

i'm currently running gnome 3 with wicd as my internet interface... and it works great, i installed the wicd-gtk package so i had an easy to access icon in the notification bar (bottom right corner).  but i'm a little jealous of the more prominent network manager applet that shows up in the top right corner.  i tried switching back to network manager, but it just sucks.  is there any available modification to put the wicd notifier in the applet spot in gnome shell?  i think i remember hearing that gnome shell is written almost entirely in javascript or something else simple, so maybe it's a possibility?

I've been looking for the same thing ever since GNOME3 came out.  I actually found a few references where I was able to sort of hack my own solution. 
http://blog.fpmurphy.com/2011/04/gnome- … sions.html
http://blog.fpmurphy.com/2011/05/more-g … ation.html
The above links boil down to simply creating a new GNOME 3 extension and filling the extension.js file with the following code:
const Panel = imports.ui.panel;
const StatusIconDispatcher = imports.ui.statusIconDispatcher;
function main() {
StatusIconDispatcher.STANDARD_TRAY_ICON_IMPLEMENTATIONS['wicd-client.py'] = 'wicd-gtk';
I also like to change the default icon set to better match other GNOME 3 icons. I find these to be the best:
Faenza wicd Icon Set
Wicd icon for Ambiance Theme
I use the second, as I prefer the wave look to the sort of cellphone signal look. Just extract all the images, then copy them into /usr/share/pixmaps/wicd/, and the new icons should appear almost right away, better matching the GNOME3 theme. It's not quite nm-applet since clicking the icon brings up the classic wicd-gtk gui, but looks a lot better this way. 
Happy Hacking
[edit]
I forgot to mention that every time wicd-gtk is upgraded in pacman, you will have to recopy the images to /usr/share/pixmaps/wicd/.  I am not aware of a way to define wicd icons on a per user basis to get around this.

  • Gnome Power Manager Applet

    Hi all,
    since the last update, the gnome power manager applet is gone. I can change the preferences with the gnome-power-preferences tool, but the applet in the system bar is gone... Any idea?

    So what's going on?
    I do not assume, that users of other distros have such problems, at least in Foresight Linux the applet is working as supposed to, which confirms that it's not an upstream problem. There is a bug open, but no info about any progress.
    Is anybody working on a fix?
    Jan de Groot has been assigned to this task a few days ago. Jan works on 580 open tasks, most of which have a higher priority then this bug.
    As seen from the screenshot threads, quite some Arch users are on Gnome, so that's surely not something just a minority is in need of.
    What's with the Gnome 2.18.1 updates (though the working version of the Gnome Power Manager in Foresight Linux is 2.18.2 as well)?
    Oh my, an icon is not shown, man the life boats. The gnome-power-manager works perfectly -- at least for me -- it just doesn't show an icon in the notification area. If you absolutely need the icon, deploy Iloeki's script. It should do the job.

  • I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be back

    I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be backed up. I am supposed to do this before I go to the Apple store today to get my phone fixed. Can someone please help me? I have done almost everything.

    This article explains ways to reduce your iCloud storage: Managing your iCloud storage.  In addition to what's mentioned in the article, if you have lots of photos and videos attached to your text messages, these are all included in your iCloud backup and deleting them can sometimes significantly reduce the size of your backup.
    If worse comes to worse, back up your phone to your computer rather than iCloud.  To do this, connect it to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Back Up and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  This can be used to restore your data when you get your phone back.  (In fact, it's faster because you don't have to download the data from iCloud.)

  • "Error Message" "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request"

    Full Error Message
    "(shared network name)is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this network resource. contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon
    request"
    When trying to enter via "Map Network Drive" and click "Connect using different credentials", once entering the credentials, error
    "The Network folder specified is currently mapped using a different user name and password. To connect using a different user name and password, first disconnect any existing mappings to this network share."
    As I am not particularly tech savvy, am not the one who set up this network drive, I dont want to interfere with it too much. I simply want to be able to get a basic understanding of the issue. We had set up a previous share, since deleted, that allowed
    us to have a shared folder to work on documents between the US and Ireland. This new share has been working fine up until yesterday, when we got the above error messages when trying to access the share. Later in the day, it just worked again. Today, I go to
    open the folder and the same error messages turned up, what could be going on??

    Hi Tomas,
    Did your computer join the domain? How did you access that shared resource?
    Please turn off your firewall temporarily and type the correct UNC address to access for test:
    \\servername\sharename \file_path
    If it doesn't work, use the IP address of the remote server when you try to connect to the network share.
    Meanwhile, please read this reference:

  • Changing network password...There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request in Windows 8 and 8.1 Enterprise

    We currently are running Windows 7 in our enterprise environment. Everything works as expected when the user tries to
    change their network password via crtl+alt+del, change a password. We are now testing and trying to deploy Windows 8.1 to a test group and are running into an issue when any AD user tries to change their network password. The user can logon to the
    PC just fine when the PC is on the domain, however as soon as they go to change their password they are getting the error "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request". The end result is that the user can not change
    their password. We tried this via connected to the dock with a network cable, on corporate wireless, with a Windows 8.1 machine completely patched over with all Microsoft patches, and a Windows 8.1 machine that is not patched and are running into the same
    issue. Has anyone ran into this? Is there something that has to be changed on the infrastructure side?

  • There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request

    I am trying to recover from a catastrophic SBS 2008 disk failure.
    This machine was a stand-alone Domain Controller, and as luck would (NOT!) have it, both disks in a RAID1 configuration failed in rapid succession.  Therefore, all I have is server backups to work with.
    I have tried many permutations to get this data restored and the domain functional again, but so far, no dice.
    I have successfully restored the system disk data from the most recent backup, but when I go to boot the system, I get a reboot loop.  When I tell it not to reboot on error, it gives me:
    S c00002e2 Directory Services could not start because of the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning. Error Status: 0xc0000001. Please shutdown this system and
    reboot into Directory Services Restore mode, check the event log for more detailed information.
    When I reboot into Directory Services Restore Mode, the system quickly says that AD is clean, but doesn't take me to a command prompt, it takes me to the login screen. When I try to log in as Domain admin, it says:
    There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request
    And I'm stuck.  Unless I can somehow find out what the local admin credentials are, I can't get in to the system.
    I have removed the disk and put it in a Hard drive enclosure, so I can access the files.
    At first, I had some complaints about the disk driver, so I found the correct driver version from Intel to circumvent that problem when doing the restore.
    I can boot from the installation disk, but I can't use wbadmin from there in the restore mode.
    Right now, I'm trying an earlier backup, but something tells me I might have some real trouble here.  This has turned in to quite the mess.
    I have also tried reinstalling the OS to a new RAID array, but am loath to try putting the backup on there for fear I will be taken back to square one.
    Do I have to start from scratch and recreate the domain and rejoin all the computers to it, or do I have a better alternative?
    I have actually restored a SBS 2008 stand-alone DC from backup before, but that was RAID 5, so slightly different. I seem to remember having some driver headaches with that, but I did overcome them by getting into recovery and replacing the driver files
    on the disk.  Tried that here, but still no luck.
    HELP!!!!

  • The operation cannot complete because there isn't enough memory (RAM) available

    Illustrator CS5 Verison 15.1 on a MacBook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013 Processor  2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3,
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB. Illustrator opens .ai and .pdf files.

I have been using the program for some time to successfully open .dwg files. This is a recent occurrence and I have not made any changes to the hard drive other than installing OS 10.9

    Have you already opened that specific file at some former time?
    Have you already tried a restart?
    Apart from that:
    Illustrator CS5 cannot use more than 3 GB of RAM, no matter how much is installed. OS 10.9 causes all kinds of problem even with newer versions of Illustrator.

    AFAIK, no one makes an add on camera for the iPad1.  If selling your iPad1 and buying an iPad2 is out, then you can use Skype on the iPad1.  Although the other person won't see you, the iPad1 will receive Skype video so you can see them, if they enable their video.

  • Is there any table or report that available in SAP for any PR/STR

    HI All,
    Is there any table or report that available in SAP for any PR/STR that are remain opened after S/O canceled.
    Please advice at the earliest.
    Thanks
    Chandru

    Chandru,
    Of course.  The standard MD06 transaction will display ALL MRP generated exception messages, and will take you to the individual material to allow you to determine how you wish to respond to it.
    So, MD06>enter the plant.  Optionally, enter the controller if you wish to limit the results by planner.
    If you are interested in Sales order cancellations, then these exceptions would be categorized by SAP as belonging to the  "exceptions during Scheduling" or "exceptions during availability" groups.  On the Exceptions group tab, select these two items (6&7), deselect the rest. Enter.
    You are now presented with a list of all materials that contain one or more of these exceptions.  From the menu bar at the top, select Edit>Find.  If you get a 'statistics' popup, click through.  Select the 'Find Exceptions' tab.
    Message 26 "excess stock in individual segment" means that in a MTO environment, you have more supply than demand against given order/items (as you would have if a cust. cancelled his MTO order).  Select this message.
    Message 20 "Cancel Process" means that you have a supply element that has NO requirements (as you would have if a cust. cancelled his MTS order).  Select this messaege.
    Message 15 " Postpone process" means that you have supply elements that are scheduled to be received earlier that necessary (as you might have if a Cust cancelled his MTS order). Optionally select this message.
    Clik the green check.  You will now notice that certain rows on the listing are highlighted.  These are the ones that contain your problem children.  Hit the "glasses selected MRP list" button.
    This takes you to the first MD05 of the highlighted items.  Review the problem.  Decide what to do:  Cancel a supply element?  Push out a supply element? Leave it alone?  Call customer service to discuss which order was cancelled and why?  etc etc etc...
    Once you are done with the first material, clik on the 'next material' icon or hit Ctrl-F2.  Repeat.  Continue till all materials have been evaluated and resolved.
    This works for any other MRP message as well.
    Regards,
    DB49
