This is just what I have been looking for but I am a Linux newbie.I am using Fedora Core 2 and I downloaded the RPM and installed it. All seemed to go OK. If I look in Control Centre services (Startup) I can see it listed with a tick next to it but the message says "Not Running". If I highlight it the button "Start" lights. But no matter how many times I click this button nothing happens. I have tried restarting the computer but the result is still the same.

Any help please.

For a mor detailed discussion, look into Fedora specific forums or E-Mail me.
But as a first try: start kcontrol in konsole, and look if you get error messages while you try to start knemo.

Try starting kcontrol as root and starting the service. This worked for me... It could point to a file not having the correct permissions but I haven't found which one yet...

nice program!

the only thing i have to complain about is the color of the wlan icons. these red aerials look somehow as if something were wrong (i mean that red is always used for danger or the like - i hope you know what i mean). in addition one can't really see if the card sends or receives signals - the "blinking" of the aerials attracts too little attention.

at least imho.

Hi ogott,

maybe you would like to try creating some better icons yourself?

As you have seen I am not an exceptionally gifted icon artist. So I agree with you that these icons aren't very nice but I don't have the skills to make better ones.

Any idle icon artist around?

awesome program. working on my t42 with 0 issues for the past 2 weeks. no hazzles with install and i have not found any bugs. i started using it for the custom menus which i added for my wireless (a LEAP authentication script using the custom menu since ifup-wireless dont do it).

There's do or no do. There's no try.

I really like the app (service).

One thing that is kind of disturbing, is that when one logs off, the icons appear in the top left corner of the screen for a millisecond. Seams something with logoff interpretation is wrong. But this is not top priority. ;-)

Keep it up!

Hi Martin,

is noticed this behaviour also with KLaptopDaemon. I am not sure if there is something I can do about it, because I use the standard KDE classes for applications with systray icons and I am not aware of anything I have to take care of when KNemo gets shut down.

Any hint from a developer with more experience in this area is appreciated.

Hi, IMHO the problem concern Kicker, which gets killed before (or quicker than) systray apps...
Well, I think... :-)

Link Quality tooltip

Hey,

On my wireless connection, the Link Quality section on the tooltip doesn't have a value. It just says "Link Quality". For the rest, this is an awesome piece of software :).

Hi,

is it also empty on the status dialog (left click on icon) or only in the tooltip?

Could you please send me the output of 'iwconfig' when you are connected with your access point.

Yes, it's also empty when I click the icon.

Here's my iwconfig:

Quick fix is:

Open file interfaceupdater.cpp in folder 'knemod', goto line 401 and change it from

regExp.setPattern( "Link Quality:([\\d/])" );

to

regExp.setPattern( "Link Quality[=:]([\\d/])" );

It would be even nicer, if it had the ability to show errors in transmission (RX/TX).

No, there is no such list. But you could write me a mail with your wishes. Or even better: send me a patch! :-)

I put the RX/TX thing on the TODO list but at the moment I have only little notion to work on KNemo.

So please be patient! :-)
