Hello,
I have a desktop computer which has a PCI Wi Fi card. Internet is only available via Wi Fi.
When I installed OnepSuSe
You managed to make four mistakes in distribution name. That's a bit too much for an accident.
LEAP, it started up and Wi Fi was not working. I went into YaST and found that "Wicked services" was set as the network setup manager, but I found no way to start wicd. So I was stuck without it.
wicd has nothing to do with wicked - they are two separate pieces of software. wicd was never configurable via YaST; you need to do this manually. wicked should be started automatically; how do you know it was *not* started? How did you check it?
When I (with some prompting from IRC) switched the setting to Network manager, YaST wanted to install a package and the Internet was not there. Thankfully I got around this by getting an open wifi network up temporarily and connecting to it using iwconfig.
Now everything works and there is a nice Network Manager widget in the KDE system tray. But why was wicd the initial setting and where was its UI?
Usually installer defaults to Network Manager on notebooks (as long as it can guess it is notebook) and to wicked (or ifup in the past) on desktops on the premises that desktop needs just one static connection. It is hard to tell why wicked did not work in your case; did you configure it during (or after) installation at all? Wicked does not have desktop UI as far as I know. It is more server oriented where you have fixed connection that is simply started when system boots. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
