it's showing signal quality in % and signal and noise level in dBm
if you have some new ideas for improve I would like to hear it... leave comments
note: If you want to vote bad, please let me know what you don't like so I can improve it...
important: if you have status:not connected please send me your ifconfig and iwconfig output
----------------------------------
***KNOWN BUG:
if you run from terminal and get this output:
Error in screenlets.services.get_service_by_name: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:
or this:
stats['percentage'] = self.get_percentage(int(stats['quality']), int(stats['quality_max']))
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''
--screenlet can't find your iwconfig and ifconfig
solution:
1) in terminaltype: locate ifconfig
2) again type: locate iwconfig
3) open WirelessScreenlet.py file and replace this line
ip = commands.getoutput("LANG="" ifconfig "+ interface)
with
ip = commands.getoutput("LANG="" STEP_1_OUTPUT "+ interface)
and this line
iwconfig = commands.getoutput("iwconfig "+ interface)
with
iwconfig = commands.getoutput("STEP_2_OUTPUT "+ interface)
note: STEP_1and2_OUTPUT should look something like this
/sbin/ifconfig
/sbin/iwconfig
or
/usr/sbin/ifconfig
/usr/sbin/iwconfig
or something similar depending on your distro...

I just downloaded this screenlet but in does not start.
how it doesn't start? can you run it via terminal and paste output here?
Working now...thanx. One step closer to losing the panel.
Would be a great widget to have, but doesn't work for me. For some reason it displays an IP address different to that shown on the GNOME Network Manager Applet. Help would be appreciated.
type ifconfig xxx0 where xxx0 is your wlan device.. example: ifconfig wlan0 and in it's output will write your IP adress, same as screenlet shows.. maybee your Network Manager Applet is showing global IP, and this screelnet shows local
Since an older version of WirelessScreenlet is already available on Screenlets PPA, maybe you would be interested in developing your code directly under the project https://launchpad.net/indiv-screenlets. There is some documentation on this as well as connected topics at http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/Documentation#Why_should_I_add_my_Screenlet_to_individual_Screenlets_project.
I am already on universal applets on launchpad, but I didn't submit or change anything for at least a year. I develope screenlets only when I have time, but I study and work and... blah blah.. you are free to add it (if you can), just leave my name in author section ;)
Well, just to let you know, since Universal Applets never got to a stable release, I took up the old Screenlets and added some parts from U-A and updated Screenlets a bit. The plan is to incorporate U-A step by step into the old Screenlets branch. There is no deadline though. If you are member of U-A, then U-A is automatically a member of individual Screenlets. I was just proposing that you can use the individual Screenlets branch for VCS of your projects, because it is published automatically on Screenlets PPA and gives possibility to translate individual Screenlets etc, but it's up to you of course. I do not plan to update your Screenlet at the repository myself, though. It's up to you as an original developer or whoever wishes to do it.
Tried downloading this screenlet, but the download link is dead.
maybe you're behind some proxy server or something, one guy was on university connection and he couldn't download too.. its hosted on fileden, and I just now downloaded and it works..

can you give me iwconfig and ifconfig?

it's not problem with screenlet... look at your iwconfig... it says eth1 IEEE 802.11 Nickname:"" Access Point: Not-Associated and it should be something like this wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"HALLSYS-NET-NRV" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.432 GHz Access Point: 00:14:78:EE:F2:D8 Bit Rate=36 Mb/s Tx-Power:20 dBm Sensitivity=-109 dBm RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=2346 B Power Management:off Link Quality:73/100 Signal level:-49 dBm Noise level:-96 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 ------------ do you see diference... in your case screenlet has no data to read from command output so it doesn't work :S
not sure how to install this.
http://www.njsoft.iz.rs it's out. Another site to upload, please??
hm... it works for me... look my ping result... --- www.njsoft.iz.rs ping statistics --- 63 packets transmitted, 63 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 230.2/250.5/350.9 ms
ping: unknown host http://www.njsoft.iz.rs what's the problem???? My connection works perfectly but i can't download your screenlet by njsoft since two month more or less.... I don't understand...
fck it if doesn't work... but... hm... I don't know why doesnt work for you... use this direct link http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/8/23/1373806/download/Wireless.tar.gz
hey, i have no idea how to install this thing, i have it downloaded and extracted, thats as far as i got successfully, tell me what to do!
hey, i have a new account, please help me because this will be very useful to me, thankyou
1)open terminal 2)sudo apt-get install-screenlets 3) mkdir .screenlets 4)tar - xvzf Desktop/Wireless.tar.gz (i assumed that you downloaded it to Desktop) 5)cp Desktop/Wireless .screenlets
sudo apt-get install screenlets i made type error
I managed to get it working as root, it works just fine as root but nothing as a user, im sure it has something to do with the path "/sbin/iwconfig" instead of just iwconfig or something like that, where do i change the path in WirelessScreenlet.py?? if somebody just tell me so i can get this to work normally. PS. im on ubuntu 8.10 32bit Thank you.
