Re: [Solved]Problem with Wicd and D-bus

Did you make sure hal is started _before_ you try to start the wicd daemon?

Re: [Solved]Problem with Wicd and D-bus

Then the only thing I can think of is that for some reason the wicd daemon isn't running due to so problem, check the logs and see if you can find anything that looks suspicious.

Re: [Solved]Problem with Wicd and D-bus

It isn't starting as a regular user here. Also, there's a bug report filed against it that's probably related:

Re: [Solved]Problem with Wicd and D-bus

Same problem here with KDE. The only version that works fine for me is 1.5.9. Try downgrading to this package.

Re: [Solved]Problem with Wicd and D-bus

It starts fine here on xfce, but I think I've seen a report of the latest wicd not working fine on xfce.

Re: [Solved]Problem with Wicd and D-bus

Philip's solution wasn't complete for me.

You also need to ensure that you have installed the notification-daemon package, as seen here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15089

If you still have problems, also look here with regards to connecting as a normal user: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wic … ormal_User

Re: [Solved]Problem with Wicd and D-bus

If I'm running kdm, I have no issue at all with wicd-client loading, however if I log into a wm/de (usually openbox) without kdm running wicd-client will not load, even after trying the above solutions....

Re: [Solved]Problem with Wicd and D-bus

Try adding this to autostart.sh

# D-bus
if which dbus-launch >/dev/null && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then
       eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi

Re: [Solved]Problem with Wicd and D-bus

Note: Solved by adding my user to the users group, and restarting dbus/wicd

Re: [Solved]Problem with Wicd and D-bus

I had the same problem when I start my DE by startx, and tried those solutions mentioned above but didn't help anyway. Now, I start my DE by xinit, wicd works like a charm.

Thanks for your concern mates!
