NetGUI
NetGUI is a Graphical User Interface for NetCTL. NetCTL "is a CLI-based tool used to configure and manage network connections via profiles." NetGUI expands upon this by created a GUI interface. In short, NetGUI runs NetCTL commands to help make utilizing NetCTL a modern possibility, instead of what most people think of when they hear Linux.
Features
NetGUI is currently in beta, and has just recently come out of a development hiatus. NetGUI has several features, and they are: Scanning for new networks via wpa
- GUI way to create new profiles (Under development)
- Connecting to any created profiles
- Automatic connection to created profiles (Under Development)
- Simple, intuitive interface for Gnome/GTK
- Simple editing of current profiles(Under Development)
- Automatically connect to open/unsecured networks (disabled on first run, enable through preferences) (WIP)
- Integration with Gnome Shell (an indicator in the top right bar of gnome, where volume etc... is, e.g. the panel) (Slightly, but badly, implemented)
- Notifications
- Open source under custom MIT license
What is TO-DO?
As with all software, NetGUI has to accomplish more items before I can consider it gold. These are:
- add a tray icon (at least for GNOME 3)
- interface with auto roaming
- Some mild network diagnostics
- Incorporate a launcher in the Activities menu.
