LinSSID detects 6 GHz networks, lists their frequency correctly, but the channel number ist always 0. The 6 GHz networks are shown in the 5 GHz graph on the extreme left side. They should be in an own graph with correct channel number. The protocol column of the table omits 802.11 a, ax and be capabilities. My 802.11be networks are shown as "bg" when they should be "abgnacaxbe".
Hi! Please make it so log file can be moved to another directory other than /root. Thank You! Have A Healthy, Prosperous Day! - - -rob

When installing linssid_3.6-1_amd64.deb, I got an error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libboost-regex1.65.1. But I can only find later versions (1.67, 1.71, 1.74) of libboost-regex. Best regards -- Francis
The attached patch fixes the problem for me.
Correction, I suspect this is caused by qwt 6.2.0. Anyway I'm at loss.
Using linssid 3.6 on openSUSE Tumbleweed. After (I believe) updating to gcc11, I see a build error, see attached log.
Hi! I found the same behaviour. It's a Dell Vostro machine with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. When I first installed LinSSD, it worked fine. LinSSD version now is 2.7 and Ubuntu tells me that 2,7 already is the newest version . Since some update Linssd doesn't show any WiFi graph.

Registered an account here so I could share what I learned. I've been a user of the Ubuntu family since I started using Linux, but now I am giving Fedora (KDE) a try, and LinSSID is the only thing thus far that I have not found a Fedora binary for that I had in Ubuntu. In order to get this to compile on Fedora (32, currently), I installed the following packages: qt5-qtbase-devel qt5-qtsvg-devel qwt-devel boost-devel qwt5-qt5-devel when those are installed, enter this: sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libqwt-qt5.so.6...

Hi. Tnx for the tool. Trying to install, but i get this error during make "In file included from Getter.cpp:17: MainForm.h:16:10: fatal error: qwt.h: File o directory non esistente 16 | #include <qwt.h></qwt.h>" Thanks in advance (Working on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with linSSID already installed and ok)
Hi again, Today I fixed a new warning from Debian. The .desktop file should use a 64x64 (or higher) icon to be compliant with AppStream, followed by Debian. Consequently, I did the following change: -Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/linssid48.png +Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/linssid.png Cheers, Eriberto
Hi Warren, I attached manpages created in Debian Project. Feel free to use it and modify if needed. Regards, Eriberto
Hi Warren, The attached patch, sent to Debian, allows linssid to build in several environments. Regards, Eriberto
Hi Warren, I am putting here a copy of a email message sent by me in 2018-10-12. The intent is not forget some ideas. Regards, Eriberto The new version of LinSSID was sent to Debian. The .desktop file has some issues. Please, check the following lintian messages in Google: desktop-entry-contains-encoding-key: I: linssid: desktop-entry-contains-encoding-key usr/share/applications/linssid.desktop:4 Encoding desktop-entry-lacks-keywords-entry: I: linssid: desktop-entry-lacks-keywords-entry usr/share/applications/linssid.desktop...
Hi I appreciate the tool and the source. I've extended some functions that I find useful/necessary for very crowded environment. If you are interested to incorparate any into your package, please free feel to review and pick it up here: https://github.com/chunmeng/linssid-ex
Reason for me installing LinSSId was that in using wifi at Starbucks at least two people, one who spends probably 7 or more hours here seem to overpower Starbucks' wifi signal. My thinking was to find some proof of this and report to FCC. My surprise after installing the program to Debian 9 and scanning I no longer have the problem. While my netbook is using wifi successfully, attempt to use wifi on my Android phone often doesn't work and am assuming it is the idiots interfering. One thing I've learned...
Please make available FLATPAK of this application and an RPM for Fedora 30. Not everyone is using DEB.
Hi everyone! Using LinSSID version 3.6. I do not have enough to export the scan result to a file, such as a .csv file. Is it possible to implement this? Still. The LinSSID settings have the "Log Data" option. Write, please, what is this option, what is the data and where is it written?
Hi, the behaviour I'm looking for is to clear the list and forget all attach points. Therefore it woule be the same result as closing and reopening the application. Button will be nice, but I would also love keyboard shortcut (like mentioned Ctrl+X) ;-) PS. should I get e-mail notification every time the topic is updated if I check the below "Subscribe to this topic" link?
Great WIFI tool. I've used inssider for a while on windows and this tool fills the need on Linux. I have version 3.6 compiled under Raspbian Stretch running on raspberry pi 3B+ and 0W hardware. Very useful. Is there a method/option to get it to start up in the running state? I attached a pi to a monitor and have linssid startup under autostart but it comes up paused, requiring a mouse to be attach to start scanning. Thanks!
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?
Hallo, I've recently came across LinSSID when I was searching suitable replacement for WifiInfoView (great tiny tool) on Linux. While it seems that LinSSID would be a good replacement, I miss the ability to clean detected network list. In WifiInfoView it is done by Ctrl+X. The advantage is that if I test something in the lab, I want to get rid of all non-existent networks on the list. BR, Kiziuk.

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
Dear Vítězslav, Thank you for the report. I will look into it immediately.
With two APs with the same essid Application won't start scaning and hang with no lines in chart. Maybe bug ? Anyway - very good application. Thank you for your code!
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.
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...

Hi! The shipped .desktop file should be updated in 2 points: Version=2.9 -> That version is invalid, as it not specify the package version, but desktop entry specification. -> Either remove or change to 1.0 Categories=Application;Network;Internet; The categories Application and Internet are deprecated and should not be used anymore. -> Proposal: Network;System Cheers Conrad

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...
I realize this is an old report thread but I'm now just having this same problem on Ubuntu. I recall not long ago this was working.... It now hangs during the scan and never reports. I have to kill the process. LinSSD 2.7 on Linux 4.4.0-93-generic #116~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 14 16:07:05 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Lenovo T530 Laptop.
