[request] Nuts network manager for qt4

adamruss · 2008-08-13 09:03:19

it seems kde4 has not a good network manager yet, i encounterd this:
http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/NUT … tent=78106

i understand it is divided into 3-6 packages i dont really get it, if someone can pkgbuild these it will be great thanks!

Perhaps you should look at the alternatives first? For Qt4, have you considered Archassistant/Netcfg? For me, it's better than NetworkManager and the alternatives (which hung my system).

i tried kwlan-svn but i just dont get it.. i cant figure out how to use it.
for now i'm using wicd-svn which is great but gtk... i will try your suggestion.
thanks

If you try everything available and nothing suits you still, I will try to tackle that PKGBUILD for you

@ intrepid

could you try to make a PKGBUILD for this?
I tried to make one according to this ebuild I found on the homepage of nut, but didn't suceed, as I never before created a PKGBUILD myself.

Started on a PKGBUILD, but didn't have enough time to finish. The following errors still remain:

-Can't seem to install to $startdir.
-Dependencies aren't handled correctly. I can't remember how to find out which package provides a certain files. In this case, libiw and resolveconf.
-I couldn't get "makepkg -g" to produce a checksum.
-I couldn't find the license of the package, though I'd image that since it uses Qt4 that it would have to be GPL.
-Off the top of my head I can't remember what flag to send qmake to set the prefix.

Anyone who has the solution to these problems feel free to edit the PKGBUILD and submit it to the AUR when it's ready. Otherwise, I'll finish it up once I have more time. I figured if there was something to work with then it'd be better than nothing.

thanks!
I hope that it will work someday

Ok, I took a peek at the ebuild (I don't think I ever want to see another ebuild again :-\) and made the appropriate corrections, resolving all prior issues. I'm not publishing this PKGBUILD on the AUR myself because I don't use nut (if I have to hack together a .conf file, why not stick with netcfg?), so I wouldn't make the best maintainer for the package.

At any rate, here's the PKGBUILD:

Wow, that would be why I don't use Nut. Thanks though. Since you're so knowledgable, would you mind finishing the PKGBUILD?

Funny thing is, it seemd to load correctly, though admittedly I didn't spend too much time with it.

Neuro · 2008-12-21 15:39:47

I'm also interested in this network manager though I sadly don't have enough free time to make a working PKGBUILD for it.

Has anyone succeeded?

Neuro · 2009-04-28 07:48:29

Has anyone since tried this network manager?

quarkup · 2009-04-30 18:22:08

seems to be a nice app.

Neuro, I committed our PKGBUILDs to AUR:

... but still don't get my wlan running with nuts ... eth0 is fine.
