[SOLVED] How to replace Ceni by Connman or wpa_gui? antix 19.2.1_base

[Member betman]

Hello!
After installing antiX 19.2.1_base, I followed the instructions given in this post and did the following
`
sudo apt-get –purge autoremove connman -y
sudo rfkill unblock all
sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
sudo ln -s /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
sudo killall wpa_supplicant
`
wifi started, I could manage networks. But Ceni doesn’t save passwords, so it’s a tedious job to change networks. So, I installed connman again but it’s not showing the available networks.
wpa_gui doesn’t show any adapter or network. Adding a network manually in wpa_gui returns this error Failed to enable network in wpa_supplicant configuration.
What can be done to get connman or wpa_gui working?
Thanks.

Edit /etc/network/interfaces file to only have this:

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# /etc/network/interfaces
#
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
# Used by ceni but not by connman
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

You might want a gui frontend for connman – available are connman-gtk, connman-ui or cmst

Best to reboot and then run connman again

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
