netctl-tray's Introduction

netctl-tray

A lightweight netctl tray app with notifications written in Rust.

Note: This repository has been archived, since I personally no longer use `netctl` and can't furtherly develop or fix bugs of this project. If anyone wants to take over, feel free to make an issue.

Screenshots

Usage

To launch the tray app:

$ netctl-tray

You have to be in groups wheel and network for it to work properly.
To add an user to them, use:

# usermod -a -G wheel,network <user>

Compiling

This application needs to be compiled for netctl and netctl-auto separately. For netctl:

cargo build --release

For netctl-auto:

cargo build --release --features "auto"

Installation

This app is available on the AUR: netctl-tray and netctl-tray-auto

iwconfig is a hidden (and depreacated?) dependency

Hi,

I've just stumbled your package, decided to try it, but it failed when I launched it :

> netctl-tray
thread 'main' panicked at 'failed to run iwconfig: Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }', src/main.rs:280:25
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

Because I don't have iwconfig. A quick search in the Arch Wiki led me to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_configuration/Wireless#iw_and_wireless_tools_comparison, where the first line states that iw replaces iwconfig. I'm sure of the status of iw/iwconfig, but maybe I know I have iw installed on my machine and not iwconfig.

Not sure of the solution: should you try both before failing? Use iwconfig instead?

Happy to help review as much as I can.

Btw, I'm using Arch and netcl, up-to-date of course.

tray on gnome?

when using it on gnome it says:

$ netctl-tray 
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.
QObject::connect: No such signal QPlatformNativeInterface::systemTrayWindowChanged(QScreen*)

QT_QPA_PLATFORM is set. and no tray icon appears. i saw https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-31762 though which suggests that there was a bug long time ago, but should be fixed nowadays.

netctl-tray doesn't detect that my user is in wheel group

On Arch, Wayland, Sway with Xwayland disabled.

PermissionDenied, message: "Permission denied" solved

getting a repeating error message.

I am part of the network group and wheel

Version: 0.2.1

in /etc/sudoers

%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL

uncommitted I don't know if that matters. I type in the sudo password every time.

Ping doesn't work with a VPN

I use mullvad as my VPN. If it is connected (which it always is), the icon shows a little exclamation mark and clicking on the icon shows an infinite ping.

If I disconnect the VPN then the icon loses the exclamation mark, the ping works properly, etc..

VPN connected:

Support netctl-auto

Hi! Thank you for developing this, especially seeing as all of the gnome extension packages which try to add system trays for netctl are outdated and broken.

I wanted to request support for netctl-auto. As it is, netctl list doesn't list any active profiles when netctl-auto is managing things. sudo netctl-auto list will, but it requires root for some reason probably specific to netctl.

I'm working on a PR, but if you're willing to do it, that'd be better. Thanks!

No link quality with broadcom-wl driver

I'm suffering from this problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/3wo7v5/get_wifi_strength_without_root/

Is there any way to run netctl-tray without root but still get the link quality with broadcom-wl driver? I could modify the sudoers file to allow cating /proc/net/wireless but that doesn't help at the moment since it is opened directly from rust code.

AUR package building fails

Hello, I tried to install this program from AUR and got errors during build:

   Compiling netctl-tray v0.2.0 (/home/user/.cache/yay/netctl-tray/src/netctl-tray-0.2.0)

For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0554`.

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.

How do I build this?

Can't update tray state: Os { code: 13, kind: PermissionDenied, message: "Permission denied" }

Greetings PonasKovas,
I am trying to use your netctl-tray (installed via aur (netctl-tray-auto for netctl-auto) on archlinux (i3wm, with netctl-auto, 5.12.2-arch1-1)). But I am not able to resolve the error:

Can't update tray state: Os { code: 13, kind: PermissionDenied, message: "Permission denied" }

Therefore the tray icon can't request or update the state and is just running showing some default state. It is however able to show the ESSID of the network I am connected to when I click on it.
Of course I am in the groups wheel and network. (Just double checked just in case)

Could you be so kind and look into this issue and maybe come up with some proposal on how to solve it?
