 Posted: Sat Dec 20, 2014 10:19 pm Post subject: [Solved!] wpa_gui won't work, wpa_supplicant manual does |
 |
|
Hello,
I can't get wpa_gui to work. The error message is "Could not get status from wpa_supplicant". The wpa_supplicant service is started, the wpa_supplicant.conf contains
| Code: | ctrl_interface=DIR=/sbin/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
update_config=1 |
and my users belong to group "wheel". The configuration manually of wpa_supplicant does make my wireless work, anyway I want to fix the wpa_gui problem.
Does anyone know how to fix wpa_gui?
Thanks, and sorry for my bad english.

ProjectMirin ... that should point to the ctrl_interface dir ... it should read:
| Code: | | ctrl_interface=DIR=/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel |
HTH & best ... khay |

Thanks for your answer, but /run doesn't contain wpa_supplicant. |

ProjectMirin ... you're welcome. Its the path where the directory will be created (thats why its in the wpa_supplicant.conf).
| Code: | # ls -l /run/wpa_supplicant
total 0
srwxrwx--- 1 root wheel 0 2014-12-20 20:41 wlan0= |
(the "=" shows its a socket)
best ... khay |
