Wicd problems
I'm having problems with wicd. First i could run it (version 1.4.1-3) but couldn't get the network working (wired nor wireless). Now with new version (1.4.1-4) i can't even run it. When trying to run tray.py or gui.py they say that the daemon isn't running and it is, because i start it on boot. I tried it manually and the results were the same. Does anyone have a clue what could this be??

Re: Wicd problems
I had similar problems with Wicd > 1.3.1-10, but now everytning is working.
Try the following (as root):
1) Stop wicd and network;
2) remowe wicd: pacman -R wicd
3) IMPORTANT! remove wicd folder: rm -R /usr/lib/wicd (don't forget to backup it - just in case);
4) install wicd again: pacman -S wicd;
5) start wicd daemon: /etc/rc.d/wicd start
6) start wicd gui as regular user an firstly go to Wicd Manager Preferences and check that you have here your WPA driver and intefaces;
7) Configure your interfaces.
Main idea behind this is to completely remove old wicd and only then install new one.

Re: Wicd problems
...And remember that the wicd daemon requires that dbus is running.

Re: Wicd problems
Thanks ziggy. I removed wicd folder as you suggested and now it worked. Wired network works and i will try wireless in few days and get back to you on that. Thank you once again.

Re: Wicd problems
I have new question now. Can i define certain connections in wicd which i would like to be auto connected?? Now i must click on the connect button every time i enter fluxbox. It's quite annoying.

Re: Wicd problems
For wireless networks, the FIRST option for each profile is "Automatically connect to this network". Or are you looking for something different?
