I have installed wifi-radar using the following command:
pacman -Sy wifi-radar
Everything seemed OK. However, even after I have edited the sudoers file I cannot run the program.
[root@archibald james]# wifi-radar
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/wifi-radar", line 2094, in <module>
import gtk, gobject
ImportError: No module named gtk
[root@archibald james]#
Should I have installed something extra ?
Do I have to reboot ?
Thanks in advance for any help ?
Can I use something else to give me the same functions as wifi-radar

try running this with "sudo" command, normally it isn't allowed to run graphical application as root, therefor is the sudo command!

Hi there! Yes, there are several other things you can do for wireless connection. Just check out the wiki pages as you probably already have. I myself find wifi -radar about the simplest but it's still a pain to configure if you are using WPA encryption. I just reinstalled Arch on an old T21 IBM laptop and my wifi-radar icon wasn't working until I changed the command to "sudo /usr/bin/wifi-radar" even though I too had added the line "myusername ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/wifi-fi-radar" to /etc/sudoers. Now the icon works but it used to work without the sudo command. If I use a terminal and just type "wifi-radar" it now asks for my password but it works. I don't get any gtk errors but I'm using enlightenment 17 with some xfce4 apps so maybe I have the gtk libraries needed but pacman should look after any dependencies on it's own. Maybe try reinstalling if you haven't already.

For what its worth my command seems to have been installed /usr/sbin/wifi-radar.
I will try an uninstall and re-install tomorrow when I am back at the machine.
Thanks for the help.

Strangest thing, for some reason I have wifi-radar in both /usr/bin and /usr/sbin. I think I may have been having some of my problems due to the /etc/sudoers file permission at one point was /usr/sbin/ and the icon pointed to /usr/bin. Something else to check out I guess but I don't for the life of me know why it's in two places. I did a pacman -R wifi-radar and both executables disappeared and when I did pacman -S wifi-radar it came back in both places. It's set up that way for some reason, I guess.
