Network-Manager on XBian - blazinramirez - 14th Dec, 2012 02:49 AM
Hi Guys,
I love the xbian version of xbmc. I have tried every other version but this is the fastest. There is only one problem, I want to use wifi by using network-manager because it has a network scanner and can remember my settings better than using ssh to configure it manually.
So I tried to install the network-manager from the xbmc repo but I got a script.linux.nm failed. On raspbmc it is working. How can I make it work on xBian?
Sorry for my bad English (I'm Dutch)

Your English is fine
I guess Koenkk or Curlymo will be here soon to answer your question

A user is currently working on a XBMC port of xbian-config. Until then, use the bash version of xbian-config which you can find by logging in through ssh.

Thanks for your replys,
It works on raspbmc. I logged in into the ssh but can't find the script.linux.nm. Does anyone know where
that file is located? If I know that maby I can fix the problem myself.

But xbian-config didn't work?
RE: Network-Manager on XBian - blazinramirez - 14th Dec, 2012 06:48 AM
No, what do I need to change to make it work? I did copy the .xbmc folder from my raspbmc image and pasted that into the xbian by using sftp. I can only see the addons but it is still asking for the script. I also tried it by using xbmc backup program in the xbmc repo. The results are still the same.

Just calm down here. If xbian-config didn't work, we really want to know why because it should.
However it still figured it out:
Code:
apt-get install network-manager python-dbusRE: Network-Manager on XBian - blazinramirez - 14th Dec, 2012 07:59 PM

When I do that i get this:

For these occasions, the forum has a "Say thanks!" button. You're welcome!

Just a simple question. I got these 2 dongles: Wireless USB Adapter 54g WL-608 and TP-Link TL-WN725N. Both of them are not working in the manager. That's a little strange because they both worked. I think it is a driver problem. Do you have a command to help me install those drivers?
Thx
RE: Network-Manager on XBian - CurlyMo - 14th Dec, 2012 11:30 PM
Can you post the output of "dmesg", "ifconfig" and "lsmod"
RE: Network-Manager on XBian - blazinramirez - 14th Dec, 2012 11:34 PM
Sorry I don't have that much experience with ssh. Can you give me instructions to get the dmesg ipconfig and lsmod?
RE: Network-Manager on XBian - CurlyMo - 14th Dec, 2012 11:38 PM
Those are just commands you can type as root:
Code:
sudo su
dmesg
