Ceni

[789]

Where to get Ceni ?
Is there a pre-compiled package or source somewhere ?

[retired1af]

VL 7 uses wicd instead. Is there any particular reason you need to use ceni?

[789]

I am trying to avoid installing Python (and after installing Python, Wicd asked for some gtk module)
Perl is already there, so Ceni should work (if I knew how to set it up)

What Vector Linux distribution did you install? wicd should work immediately upon installation.

Just to satisfy my curiosity ...
Could you please post the output of these two lines in the terminal,

tail /var/log/pkgtools | grep -i removed

and in case that does not catch it, this one as well

tail /var/log/pkgtools | grep -i python   ##This may output nothing at all, but that's ok, just post if there is output.

As far as Ceni goes I can package that, but we will need to make a change to our "at" backend. Ceni does not like it as it is now.  Will just need a little time.


In the mean time you can try NetworkManager it does not seem to have a dep on python

NetworkManager needs Gnome......
Rutilt is the one that works, for now
(it is not a Vector installation)

789,

what version of VL you are using?
wicd come as default in VL7 or you just want to install VL as minimum as configure it follow your own way?

BTW, rutilt is just a wireless network manager only, right? And it seem it is not active any more...

@789
Rutilt is in the vl repositories.  Any reason you installed from external source?  Was ours not working?

quoted myself above just so the question didn't get lost.

Well I did build Ceni. That's the good news.   
Bad new's is, it is pretty specific to the debian way of doing things.
When I start it up it complains that there is no /etc/network/interfaces

Error! /etc/network/interfaces cannot be read!

As far as I know /etc/network/interfaces is Debian specific.  It just does not exist in Slackware.

Was not a total lost, I've got about 4 new perl modules I can ad to the repo that were needed as dependencies.

(it is not a Vector installation)

No Ceni, then.  On this forum the man said Ceni is for all distributions
http://forum.mepiscommunity.org/viewtopic.php?f=84&t=31280&sid=cdebd195d8715421d75fb1bea77955c0&start=10
but the reality is different. He even listed what .deb to download for it to work on non-debian (I plan to ask him)

Thank you for your time and trouble.

An other question:
This laptop is not connected to any printer;  how to disable and remove anything connected with printing ?  Can it be done ?

As ye may see from attached conky capture, it a a less then 650mb hard-drive installation (Slax 6.1.2, but only the first 2 modules, and the programms I use)

And if i may abuse the kindness--

EXT4-fs warning (device sda4): ext4_fill_super: extents feature not enabled on this filesystem, use tune2fs.

how to overcome above dmesg warning ?
