Re: wicd error

put in /etc/rc.conf in DAEMONS list hal. this will start dbus as well. don't forget to add your username to proper groups.

gpasswd -a your_username dbus
gpasswd -a your_username hal
gpasswd -a your_username network

for more details please read -> http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wicd

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: wicd error

Ok, I had this problem before. Make sure you DON'T have dbus in your daemons line if you have hal in it. Also, make sure the wicd daemon is after the hal daemon.
