    I'm guessing that the behavior you'd like to see is a button (or similar) to hide all of the currently displayed attach points, both in the list and in the charts. A similar behavior would be would be to have a button to clear and forget all of the found attach points, effectively starting from scratch, but of course the list and charts would fill up again with all of the previously cleared entries. Am I correct that the first behaviour is the one you're looking for, and not the second?

    Version 3.6 now latest, OK, so I've been really bored. Plus, my neighbor just installed a mesh network with 16(!) attach points!. Dual band, so 8 nodes. One for each room in his house plus a bathroom or two. (What is he thinking!?) Another neighbor has a mesh as well, so now able to see if LinSSID can decipher mesh. This release makes an attempt to decipher mesh according to 802.11s. WDS is still up in the air.

    I got bored and made another couple of tweeks to LinSSID. Version 3.5 is now current. What changed: Vendor database now includes not just IEEE MAC large block subscribers, but also medium and small block subscribers. The trick was to find a way to match 6-nibble, 7-nibble, and 9-nibble MAC address groups in a binary chop search. SSID display now shows "<hidden>" instead of just blank for hidden attach points.

    Version 3.4 is now current. This is a bug-fix revision. It fixes the issue that began in version 3.1, where the necessity of using Policykit caused the preferences and datalog files to be stored in /root and owned by root. Now, using the standard .desktop launch with pkexec, the preferences and and datalog files are placed in $HOME and owned by $USER as it should be. Also fixed is the vendor database file which in version 3.3 had some extraneous characters at the end of the vendor names that played...

    Dear Vítězslav, Thank you for the report. I will look into it immediately. Edit 20180613_0103 UTC: I have gone through my stack of WiFi USB adapters and all work with LInSSID with two adapters active. I can not reproduce the problem. If you will launch LinSSID in a terminal window with: linssid-pkexec 2>&1 and report any error messages it will be helpful. Thanks! -Warren

    Latest LinSSID is 3.3. This version adds the ability to select table font size within a limited range. A small feature, but a lot of work. You wouldn't believe.

  • wseverin wseverin posted a comment on discussion General Discussion

    Latest LinSSID is 3.2. The channel plots now place a marker for the control channel on the plots of APs of 40 MHz or greater bandwidth. Also a small change to fix a potential but unverified memory leak.

    I have just posted a significant update to LinSSID, now version 3.1. I hope to have fixed most of the hang problems. From the README file: - Big change - now requires polkit (policykit) authentication. No way around this as debian/ubuntu/etc has emasculated su and sudo. A step backward IMHO. Now the whole app must run as root. So, all of the prefs and log files are now in /root and are owned by root. And, the whole app must run as root instead of just well-tested system parts. - Major rewrite of...

    I've been a frequent user of zenity and just a few days ago decided to see what I could do with yad. Here is the fruit – a simple random password generator that lets the user pick symbol sets and some constraints. I'm sure there are better ways to do some of the things here, but it may be a helpful example for future yad users. This works with yad 0.38.2 on Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful). 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43...

    The first question is, have you disconnected your laptop from your WiFi attach point when you initiate LinSSID? This is important. Scans, as from LinSSID, will take up nearly 100% of the availability of your WiFi card. Meanwhile, if your laptop is connected to an attach point, other processes are trying to do periodic communications with their mother ships. In this case queues get backed up and not all WiFi drivers and versions of the OS handle this well. So, if you've not done so, disconnect your...
