Wicd doesn't connect on boot

Hi,
wicd doesn't connect my wired interface on boot. In it's log it complaints:
2008/10/11 13:22:10 :: No wired connection present, attempting to autoconnectto wireless network
I've tried to add
ifconfig -a > /tmp/ifconfig_output
at the beginning of /etc/rc.d/wicd and eth0 is present in the output.
I've tried to stop wicd, bring eth0 down, then start it again and it connected, so the problem is specific to boot time.
Following the wiki, the network daemon, dhcdbd, networkmonitor, eth0 and eth0 routes are banged out.
I am out of ideas, can you help?

Ok, for everyone else facing the problem, here is the wicd patch:
should go to: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wicd/wnettools.py

kremso,
My Installation did work before the update, then I had the same problem, but the patch does not work. I Pasted it to wnettools.py and cut the old def, still the same problem. If I connect manually after booting all is fine. Well, exept that my wireless connection has gone to nirvana after the kernel update, but that seems to be another story... Rolling distros are are a real thrill, but that's what were here for, ain't we?

  • [SOLVED] NetworkManager doesn't connect Wifi at boot

    Hi all,
    I am again here with a new problem.
    I setup my arch box to boot into console where i login and do startx to open DE.
    The problem is, NetworkManager doesn't connect to WiFi on boot.
    However it is working absolutely fine under DE (KDE). As soon as DE opens, KdeWallet ask for password and then WiFi connected.
    But i want to connect to WiFi in console (without X). It is quite annoying to fire DE just to do a wget.
    I checked, NetworkManager service is enabled and running.
    Here is output of different commands that may help

    Hi since no one else was able to help yet I will share this which I see from the Wiki:
    Once the NetworkManager daemon is started, it will automatically connect to any available "system connections" that have already been configured. Any "user connections" or unconfigured connections will need nmcli or an applet to configure and connect.
    Do you have system level connections defined with the necessary keys as opposed to just user connections?  Sorry I don't have specifics as on my laptop I always just used the kde applet and my desktop is wired.
    edit: to add if you have the authentication info stored in your wallet I don't think networkmanager has any way to get to it until you start KDE.  I could be wrong.  Look for another way to define it at the system level perhaps?  Just a guess.

  • MacBook Pro doesn't want to boot when cd rom is connected

    Hello,
    I have an issue with my MacBook Pro (2009) model.
    When I'm connecting CD-ROM (internal one) computer doesn't want to boot nither from DC ROM nor from HDD.
    As soon as I am dissconecting CD ROM system is booting up without any problem.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Dubbster

    Hi Dubbster,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your MacBook Pro is not booting when you have the Mac OS X Install DVD inserted. Do you get any boot options when you hold down the Option key during startup? Please reference the following article and let me know if you need further assistance.

    I hope this helps,

  • Start network connection during boot [KDE4]

    I want to able to connect to a network (with key) during boot.
    Right now, when my arch is booting, it is trying to connect to a dhcpcd during boot, but fails (after several seconds). Then knetworkmanager and even wicd doesn't seem to work correctly. Knetworkmanager (from KDEmod) seems like doesn't work at all.
    What can I do to make it connect during boot? (I usually connect only to one network).

    I got it working.. however, I am wondering if I have everything right in my rc.config file, in DAEMONS section (maybe I have there something extra, which I can turn off).
    #Static IP example
    #eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
    #eth0="dhcp"
    #INTERFACES=(eth0)

    # Declare each route then list in ROUTES
    # - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it

    ROUTES=(!gateway)
    # Enable these network profiles at boot-up. These are only useful
    # if you happen to need multiple network configurations (ie, laptop users)
    # - set to 'menu' to present a menu during boot-up (dialog package required)
    # - prefix an entry with a ! to disable it
    # Network profiles are found in /etc/network.d
    # This now requires the netcfg package

    Which one do I need? network, netfs? net-profiles?

  • Wireless card BCM4313 no connection at boot

    Hi,
    I have an HP Pavilion dv6 with a Broadcom BCM4313 wireless card. I use NETCFG and before the last kernel upgrade I was able to connect to my home wireless connection at boot without troubles. Now I have to do it manually and I need to try 2 or 3 times to see my connection active.

    Could anyone help me please?

    Hmm it seems your card now takes longer to connect, the 'deauthenticating by local choice' often means that the default timeout is reached and netcfg disconnects. You can try adding a specific timeout parameter to your netcfg profile:

    That doesn't explain why it takes longer to connect than before, but at least you should be able to connect in 1 try again.
    Hi,
    thank you for your time!
    I'v tried adding the timeout line to my profile but it doesn't change nothing
    I could connect at 3rd try.
    Any other idea?

  • My iPad doesn't connect to my home WiFi; but my Toshiba Laptop does?

    can any one help with my WiFi problem. My iPad doesn't connect to my home WiFi; but my Toshiba Laptop does? and my iPad works in other places but not at home????

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)

  • IMac shutting down on startup - Can't enter safe mode as wireless keyboard doesn't connect quickly enough

    Hi all,
    I was planning to use bootcamp to install Windows 7 on my mid-2010 21.5" iMac.
    Bootcamp recommended I usk disk utility to repair the drive. I had a snow leopard install disk in the drive, (I didn't realise Lion already had it's recovery tools built in to the hard drive.)
    Disk utility said it can't repair the drive and recommended I start backing up my data (because the hard drive could be about to fail). Fine, so I restarted, with the intention of backing up everything (all my work for the last 12 months). So I press the power button, grey screen comes up, then the apple logo, then a progress bar appears (found this odd at first, but later found out it has something to do with disk utility and a bad hard drive) it gets to around 20% and then all power is cut from the iMac and the hard drive stops/everything powers down.
    Now, I can't seem to get my iMac to boot into recovery utilities or into safe mode because it doesn't connect to the wireless keyboard in time before it shuts down. So, if I use a wired keyboard (I have a dell USB keyboard that I can take from the office), will I be able to boot into safe mode?
    Also, if the disk in drive is causing the problem, then I can't remove it because the wireless keyboard won't connect/register any keypresses.

    Ok so, status report:
    Wired keyboard is non responsive when I plug it in before/during boot. So i guess it needs to be plugged in before the iMac shut down. That's that out the window.
    Plugged in headphones and I can't hear the startup chime so don't know when to start holding buttons.
    To make matters worse, the wireless keyboard is no longer paired with the iMac, getting a green blinking light which indicates it wants to connect to a computer or device.
    So I can't enter any commands whatsoever, can't remove the disk in the drive or boot safe mode. It's my worst nightmare.

    Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi.

  • Airport status ok. Doesn't connect to internet.

    I boot my MacBook up, and instantly my AirPort status says im fully connected to my home network. I load up Safari or Firefox and it doesn't connect. Firefox eventually says cannot connect to server but Safari just continually says "contacting http://xxx.xxxxxx.xx.xx" in the status bar. It doesn't matter what website I try either. It just doesnt seem to want to connect.
    Any ideas on how to fix it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Curtis.

    A quick and easy thing to try:
    Disable the Airport adapter, then enable it. I've seen a problem with the same symptoms and that resolved it. The problem even persisted through a reboot of the machine. Weird.

  • IPhone 5 doesn't connect to iTunes, although I just synchronized my iPhone 3.

    I just bought an iPhone 5 and would like to sync with content from iPhone 3. When configurating the iPhone, I chose the option to connect to iTunes. However, it was impossible to click on File/ synchronize iPhone, as it was greyed out!
    As I wanted to use it straight off, I had to chose the configuration option "use as new device" (or similar).
    How do I sync with iTunes now? It still doesn't connect to my iTunes account.

  • HT201269 I have an IPhone 4 that turns off.When I plug the phone into a outlet, it says to connect to iTunes. But my phone doesn't connect. I need to backup info to sync to a new iPhone. Is there another way to get the info from the old one?

    I have an IPhone 4 that turns off on its own. When I plug the phone into an outlet, it says to connect to iTunes. When i connect my phone to itunes, the screen displays the apple icon and doesn't connect to iTunes.  I need to backup info on this phone so I can apply my back up to a new iPhone. Is there any another way i can do this? My older phone will not show it's connected to iTunes. I used iCloud on the phone with problems, but I didn't back up all the info thru iCloud. Is there another way to back up?

    Sounds like your phone is in recovery mode.  In this case, all data on it is gone.  There's nothing to back up.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar                                     
    And as necessary:
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
