Wicd - Keeps "disconnecting"

Draucia · 2011-12-04 17:32:40

I'm having a problem with wicd. I went to my friend's house a week ago and it keep dropping the connection. It wouldn't say disconnected, but I can't ping or visit any sites (it would say, connected to XXX at XX%). I thought it was just his router, but when I got home the same thing happened. It seems to happen every 10-15 minutes. It gets fixed if I disconnect and reconnect, but this is very annoying since I play an online game. Here is the wicd log:

I've also been having problems with wicd. I've now just abandoned it in favour of running wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd directly. It feels cooler to do stuff from the command line anyway :-)

There alot of WARNINGS in the log under the 'wicd initializing...' header, complaining about not finding path to some module. Have you installed all the dependencies? Try reinstalling wicd. If this is not the problem, check if you have the dbus loaded before wicd in the DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf and that you are sure aren't running any other network managers. What are your preferences?

I installed it through pacman so it should of handled all of the dependencies. I also tried reinstalling. And yes, dbus is loaded before wicd in my rc.conf. I'm not running any other network managers. And what do you mean by preferences? I kept all the settings in wicd as default.

I had the same problem with wicd on my netbook, it kept disconnecting my network connections (wired as well wifi)

In my case there was a conflict with the package wicd-nogtk.

Removing the package wicd-nogtk solved the problem for me.

However since I wasn't running the latest versions of wicd-kde and wicd-nogtk I'm not even sure if those packages were creating the problem or if it was as a result of the fact that I hadn't updated them for quite some time.

Perhaps it might help you home in on the problem though.

Try networkmanager, it fixed my wireless issues honestly.
