python-gnome2-extras Where? how?

[KurtB]

Hi,

I've tried to install gtkwifi1.06.deb, but it needs the python-gnome2-extras dependency

Where do I get it? can't find it in synaptic. Can't find it online,...

And how do I install it?


thx

Make sure you have the proper repositories. http://ubuntuguide.org/#extrarepositories

Thx!

I don't get the dependency error anymore,...so I went on installing the gtkwifi.

cd to the dir with the package "python-gnome2-extras"

then:
:~/Desktop$ sudo apt-get install gtkwifi-1.06.deb

but then it says:

E: Couldn't find package gtkwifi-1.06.deb

Huh? :(

apt-get is used for grabing remote files via a properly setup repository.
You want dpkg
sudo dpkg -i gtkwifi-1.06.deb

Thx,

got it installed now :)

But it doesn't find my hidden SSID, does v1.06 supported hidden SSID's?

If not I'l have to install v1.08... :???:

(that won't be a problem any more ;-) ...but how do I get rid from the v1.06 then?)

I don't know much about what you're trying to install, but to remove your package.
sudo dpkg -r gtkwifi-1.06

For more info
man dpkg

thx!

I'll try this tomorrow...

Basically tryin' to get my wifi working under ubuntu:
* tried linuxant -> no good, pay for a driver?! :(
* tried ndiswrapper -> sees SSID, can't connect (getting DISCOVERS, NO OFFER...)
* installed v1.06 -> apparently doesn't see my hidden SSID
* now uninstalling 1.06 & hopefully installing 1.08 will solve my wifi-trouble...
