Cryptic error message #10

When I run dhcpcd-gtk in a console I get this error message / maybe make it a bit more explicit , because I have not figured yet how to solve the problem

dhcpcd-gtk version: 0.7.8-1 on an uptodate linux mint

dhcpcd-gtk Message: 19:53:54.820: Connecting ... Message: 19:53:54.820: Status changed to down

(dhcpcd-gtk:5144): CRITICAL : 19:53:54.820: dhcpcd_open: No such file or directory ^C

dhcpcd_open: No such file or directory

Looks pretty clear to me - dhcpcd-gtk cannot open a connection to dhcpcd because the socket does not exist. This means a few things:

For dhcpcd-gtk, dhcpcd-qt, etc to work, dhcpcd needs to be running in manager mode without any interface or family specified on the command line. Or, putting it another way, started as a service rather than part of an interface.

Does this help?
