wicd (1.7.4+tb2-3) unstable; urgency=medium From 1.7.2.4 to 1.7.3 upstream changed the way the to-be-sent hostname is replaced in /etc/wicd/dhclient.conf.template. If you use "$_HOSTNAME" in there, please replace it accordingly to the updated template at /etc/wicd/dhclient.conf.template.default. Background is that from now on not only the hostname gets replaced but the whole line. -- Axel Beckert Mon, 16 Jan 2017 03:38:18 +0100 wicd (1.7.0+ds1-3) unstable; urgency=low From version 1.7, wicd uses /etc/wicd/dhclient.conf.template as its configuration file for dhclient(1), if you chose it as DHCP client. Before connecting, this will copied to /var/lib/wicd/dhclient.conf, after a backup of the original file has been made. The backup would be restored after the connection terminates. For more information about how to use this file, refer to dhclient.conf(5). -- David Paleino Mon, 24 May 2010 16:09:33 +0200 wicd (1.5.9-1) unstable; urgency=low From this version onwards, the wicd-client GUI will be available only to users of the `netdev' group, so as to avoid users not enabled by root to change network configuration. This means that, if you do *not* belong to that group, wicd-client will refuse to start with a permission denied error by DBus, as soon as installation of 1.5.9-1 succeeds. To add yourself to the netdev group, ask your administrator to do, or do as root yourself: # usermod --append --groups netdev (obviously replace "" with the user you want to grant access to wicd-client to). This could also be done with graphical user management programs. Also, be sure to reload the D-Bus daemon with: # /etc/init.d/dbus reload -- David Paleino Sun, 08 Feb 2009 13:43:54 +0100
