Cryptic error message
When I run dhcpcd-gtk in a console I get this error message / maybe make it a bit more explicit , because I have not figured yet how to solve the problem
dhcpcd-gtk version: 0.7.8-1 on an uptodate linux mint
dhcpcd-gtk ** Message: 19:53:54.820: Connecting ... ** Message: 19:53:54.820: Status changed to down
** (dhcpcd-gtk:5144): CRITICAL **: 19:53:54.820: dhcpcd_open: No such file or directory ^C
dhcpcd_open: No such file or directory
Looks pretty clear to me - dhcpcd-gtk cannot open a connection to dhcpcd because the socket does not exist. This means a few things:
- dhcpcd is not running
- dhcpcd is running for a specific interface
- dhcpcd is running for a specific family
For dhcpcd-gtk, dhcpcd-qt, etc to work, dhcpcd needs to be running in manager mode without any interface or family specified on the command line. Or, putting it another way, started as a service rather than part of an interface.
Does this help?
