wicd doesn't start after upgrade dbus problem??

yesterday i upgrade the wicd packages... then wicd-client doesn't start...

the daemon wicd start, but if i run ps aux | grep wicd i don't see anythyng..

then if i try to run wicd-client i see this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/wicd/wicd-client.py", line 50, in <module>
    import wicd.gui as gui
  File "usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wicd/gui.py", line 2061, in <module>

    message, timeout)
dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.wicd.daemon was not provided by any .service files

obviusly the must be the dbus-python packages or is a error for wicd daemon... why wicd daemon doesn't start
when i run /etc/rc.d/wicd start i don't see a error....

any idea?

Re: wicd doesn't start after upgrade dbus problem??

I just installed wicd on kdemod, and it worked.... i removed knetworkmanager3 and its dependencies; i.e. dhcdbd iproute libnetworkmanager libnl networkmanager and dbus-qt3, rebooted, and it gave me this same error.

Re: wicd doesn't start after upgrade dbus problem??

You already found out the wicd daemon is not running. But instead of finding out why it's not running, you're going to remove/install random packages and start looking into the client that tells the daemon isn't running.

Are you sure the wicd daemon is running?
That exact same error will only appear if the daemon is not running.

What is the error given after starting wicd daemon through

sudo /etc/rc.d/wicd start

Re: wicd doesn't start after upgrade dbus problem??

after i installed wicd, same problem here...

but i noticed it said make services dbus start before wicd..

after start dbus using "/etc/rc.d/dbus start", wicd works

only thing need to do is add 'dbus' in DAEMONS of /etc/rc.conf

Re: wicd doesn't start after upgrade dbus problem??

This is strange. If you have hal in /etc/rc.conf, it will start dbus, so you shouldn't need to start dbus separatedly...

Re: wicd doesn't start after upgrade dbus problem??

Very strange. I just had the same problem after upgrade to wicd 1.5.5 . I managed to solve it with deleting directory /var/log/wicd . After I remove it, wicd daemon started normal. It create a new log directory with that permisions:

d-wxrw--wt  2 root root    60 2008-12-02 20:58 wicd

Re: wicd doesn't start after upgrade dbus problem??

believe me wicd is a bad package, I don't know, it works well sometimes and sometimes it refuses to work, building it with the same parameters. Just strange.

This works for me.

EDIT: It doesn't work again.
EDIT: removing wicd package, /etc/wicd, /var/log/wicd and installing wicd again solved problem.
