WLAssistant Not Running

I have downloaded, compiled and installed the latest source of WLAssistant (http://wlassistant.sourceforge.net) and when I go to open the program, nothing will open.  I wasn't able to find any error logs about it.  Are there any known problems with WLAssistant and Arch?

Re: WLAssistant Not Running

I have just compiled and installed it....it works fine for me, it was able to detect and connect to my AP and even allow DHCP. Therefore, i personally would say that there aren't any problems with that utility and arch.  I also used a tool i found on kde-look.org called 'kompile'.  It will automatically compile from source when you right click the tarball.  Nice find with wlassistant, i will be using this myself! smile

Re: WLAssistant Not Running

OK, I'll keep trying.  I'll see if it will work better with Kompile.  Thanks for the info.

Re: WLAssistant Not Running

You may have already looked after this, in which case, sorry for the noise.  WLAssistant needs sudo working on your machine.  Simply install sudo (from Current, I think), and configure the sudoers file in /etc (instructions in the Wiki).  I did these things, and WLAssistant works fine for me.

Re: WLAssistant Not Running

Yeah, I got it working,  I had forgotten to modify /etc/sudoers.  Thanks for the help.

Re: WLAssistant Not Running

I recently reinstalled Arch, and now I can't remember what I had for the sudo entry.  I tried using KSudo to set it up, but got a syntax error after creating a new privilege entry.  What should it read to allow me to use wlassistant?
