WICD in Raspberry Pi

Wicd is an open source wired and wireless network manager for Linux which aims to provide a simple interface to connect to networks with a wide variety of settings.

If you are having any issue with your Ethernet interface then this tool will help you to configure your Static and DHCP IP address.

To install this you can run below mentioned command.

 

$ sudo apt-get install wicd-gtk

 

Once you restart the Pi you will get the WICD icon in the task bar left hand corner.

Then you can double click and do the changes when you want.

To change the Wifi configuration there is a inbuilt tool in Raspbian. But for Wifi configuration also you can use WICD.

Screen Capture window on Desktop

In Raspberry Pi  I have try to find a tool to do screen capture and finally I found this small tool witch can help me to get the screen shots of the things in the desktop. To run this you have to use LX Terminal.

To install this tool you can run,

sudo apt-get install scrot

Then to get the screen shot you can run,

$ sudo scrot –d7

This will take the screen cap after 7 second and the image will be saved in your default user directory (i.e. /home/pi/).
