Package: wicd-daemon Version: 1.7.2.4-2 Severity: serious Justification: Fails to do its job
Hi, wicd-daemon comes with those two settings: - per-connection: Automatically connect to this network - globally: Automatically reconnect on network connection loss Both of which are checked here. Nevertheless, the following happens: sudo rfkill block wlan → Status switches from “Connected to FOO” to “Not connected”, good. sudo rfkill unblock wlan → [nothing happens], bad. Even worse, when rfkill block wlan has been done, a click on “Connect” leads to “FOO: Putting the interface up”, then “FOO: Validating authentication”. It finally ends up with: “FOO: Connection Failed: Bad password”, which is utterly wrong! For a daemon supposed to handle networking, that looks like a serious issue. (Imagine how fun it is when a machine boots with wlan blocked by rfkill; one has to disconnect all, refresh, etc. a few times before being able to connect successfully. It takes more time than the whole boot sequence!) NM does support that properly, FWIW. Similar bug report, with a quite old version and some bits of noise from another user, which is what I'm trying to avoid by filing my own bug with trivially reproducible steps: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=582567 Mraw, KiBi. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages wicd-daemon depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii dbus 1.6.8-1 ii debconf 1.5.46 ii iproute 20120521-3 ii iputils-ping 3:20101006-1+b1 ii isc-dhcp-client [dhcp3-client] 4.2.2.dfsg.1-5+deb70u2 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian7 ii net-tools 1.60-24.2 ii psmisc 22.19-1 ii python 2.7.3~rc2-1 ii python-dbus 1.1.1-1 ii python-gobject 3.2.2-1 ii python-wicd 1.7.2.4-2 ii wireless-tools 30~pre9-8 ii wpasupplicant 1.0-2 Versions of packages wicd-daemon recommends: ii wicd-gtk [wicd-client] 1.7.2.4-2 Versions of packages wicd-daemon suggests: ii pm-utils 1.4.1-9 Versions of packages wicd-gtk depends on: ii python 2.7.3~rc2-1 ii python-glade2 2.24.0-3 ii python-gtk2 2.24.0-3 Versions of packages wicd-gtk recommends: ii gksu 2.0.2-6 ii python-notify 0.1.1-3 Versions of packages wicd-curses depends on: ii python 2.7.3~rc2-1 ii python-urwid 1.0.1-2 Versions of packages wicd-curses recommends: ii sudo 1.8.5p2-1 Versions of packages python-wicd depends on: ii python 2.7.3~rc2-1 ii python2.6 2.6.8-0.2 ii python2.7 2.7.3~rc2-2.1 -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
