great add-on! Thanks for this, it was exactly what I needed ...
I would like to see an OK button instead of the Cancel only(OK and Cancel) ... just a suggestion as I was confused in the beginning ... anyhow ... great work! Thank you very much!

I would like to add that I hate macs Smile Always have, always will.
I "had" xbmcbuntu installed, but gave up and put on osx again.

I loaded win7 through bootcamp and even that didnt see the wifi card (again, OSX saw it though)

I REALLY hate using a mac. If I can get xbmcbuntu working without it, that would be great! Do you have any ideas? I think this is a late 2011 model macmini

Right now, I am using OSX with xbmc installed and everything is working fine.

Yes, that is a good point. I never saw it myself. I guess it should be only OK or perhaps Exit as the cancel button does not actually cancel anything.
I will add it as an issue at github but will not be able to fix it right away.

Feel free to make any suggestion. Many things like this one is very easy to fix next time I spend some time on it.

Ok that is why. The add-on only works with this exact network-manager. It sounds like a generic thing but it is a specific application
http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/
and I assume OSX uses something else.

ok, i didnt expect that one.
So are you saying that I would need to install that network manager in xbmcbuntu, then your addon and it will work?


RE: [RELEASE]Network-Manager front-end for XBMCbuntu - vikjon0 - 2012-06-18

the network-manager is included in xbmcbuntu and standard ubuntu-desktop.

RE: [RELEASE]Network-Manager front-end for XBMCbuntu - SkankArmor - 2012-07-10

Hey guys how's it going? So I've been working on this for like 20 hours, seems a bit long I know but I'm kind new to all of this. I was able to get the Network-Manager add-on to see all of the networks in the area. Problem is, it will not connect to any of them, there isn't even an okay button. I input a WPA2 key and nothing happens, I take away encryption so it says "NONE" and nothing happens. Am I missing something here? Proper drivers are installed, I can see networks. I am using the Network-Manager 0.1.4 add-on on a Raspberry Pi. I can hit "Enter" all day long on a SSID with "NONE" and nothing happens Sad

I have not tested on raspberry. I think there must be a crash and the background. Please paste the log on pastebin.com or some other site.
What OS have you installed? I have a raspberry in a box that I could test in.

I should mention that I am using Raspbmc on Raspberry Pi.
I have pasted my dmesg, lsmod, lsusb, and my ls from /etc/.

How do i get the log you are looking for? because I don't feel I did Undecided

I meant the xbmc.log but the daemon.log was actually not a bad idea.
For some reason I didnt get any update about your post but today I tested myself.

the add-on requires network manager 0.9 and as you can see in the deamon log (or as I did in dpkg -l) raspxbmc has v 0.8.
It is way too much work to support both versions. I have posted a request for Sam to upgrade nm to match xbmcbuntu.

I am actually using the Network Manager 0.9 from the wheezy repository. Last night however I kind of locked myself out, as I did not set a password for root. When I did a sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade, I accepted the new sudoers config which overwrote the original. I can't su- or sudo anymore and fear I'll probably have to start over.

RE: [RELEASE]Network-Manager front-end for XBMCbuntu - vikjon0 - 2012-07-12

According to the daemon log you use /used
Jan 1 00:00:26 raspbmc NetworkManager[528]: <info> NetworkManager (version 0.8.4.0) is starting...

The add-on did not run during the xbmc.log above.

BTW, you can auto upload the log with the log add-on. (worked on pi after re-boot)

Hi There,

I'm using a Raspberry pi (Raspbmc RC4) with the latest update (it uses network-manager-0.9.4) and I get the same as SkankArmor in that I can see the list of networks, and it appears as though everything goes ok, but the network is never connected. I've uploaded my logs here:

Here is an interested extract from the xbmc.log session:

Not sure. I just tested on Ubuntu 12.04 where 0.9.4 is default and it works fine.
I need to test it myself when I can find the time. Have you tested the same wifi adaptor on the same wifi on xbmcbuntu?
(To exclude the possibility that the problem is unrelated to pi)
