[SOLVED] Wicd doesn't work any more

I there, I get

# wicd-curses
Can't connect to the daemon, trying to start it automatically...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/wicd/wicd-curses.py", line 1034, in <module>
    setup_dbus()
  File "/usr/lib/wicd/wicd-curses.py", line 1024, in setup_dbus
    dbus_ifaces = dbusmanager.get_dbus_ifaces()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/wicd/dbusmanager.py", line 36, in get_dbus_ifaces
    return DBUS_MANAGER.get_dbus_ifaces()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/wicd/dbusmanager.py", line 62, in get_dbus_ifaces

    self._named_service = conn.activate_name_owner(bus_name)

    self.start_service_by_name(bus_name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 281, in start_service_by_name
    'su', (bus_name, flags)))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 622, in call_blocking
    message, timeout)
dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.wicd.daemon was not provided by any .service files

Trying to start Wicd GUI, it asks for root password and does nothing.

Wicd daemon seems to load properly. Version is 1.6.2.2-2.

Thanks for any guidance.

HAL is supposed to take care of that. And yes, I confirm dbus runs.

Take a look here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=80363
Maybe you can find the solution there or at least some more ideas.

Re: [SOLVED] Wicd doesn't work any more

Thanks R00KIE for pointing me to a relevant topic. It looks like something changed in Wicd configuration files, so I had to remove them and reconfigure all my networks.

Re: [SOLVED] Wicd doesn't work any more

Why, oh, why does it happen each time wicd gets updated??
It happened twice this week. This is highly irritating...
