Hello,
I'm trying to get wicd to work on my laptop.
I am currently using dbus version 1.6.2-1 and wicd 1.7.2.4-3.
When I try to run wicd-curses I get the following:
Can't connect to the daemon, trying to start it automatically...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/wicd-curses.py", line 1043, in <module>

message, timeout)
dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1
My rc.conf has the following:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus !network wicd ...)
Any ideas and where I might start trying to solve this?

Can you connect manually?

I can connect via eth0, however, I am not getting DNS via the wlan0 interface.
I can ping 74.125.225.135 (google.com) via wlan0 if I resolve the DNS on another machine manually.

rc.d start wicd works just fine.
I had read that, but I just reread it and it sounds like it won't work without an .xinitrc. I don't have xorg installed on this machine. Do I need to install it for wicd to work?

Install xorg fixes the issue.

Install xorg fixes the issue.
I have the same issue as OP. The xorg package you say? I have xorg-server, xorg-xinit, and xorg-server-utils.
Edit: Using DWM and trying to use Wicd for wireless.

Yeah, I followed the beginners guide for setting up and install x found here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … #Testing_X
I wiped the system already and am starting over, or else I'd go test it again to make sure, but if I remember right I could run wicd without running x once I went through the steps above.
I removed all networking managers (network, network manager, wicd) from my rc.conf.
Then I would start dbus manually and then start wicd manually and then I would run wicd-curses.
I hope this is helpful.

I tried this and I still cannot get wicd-curses to run outside of X. I never got wicd to run either. I just recently re installed Arch.
edit: reinstalled arch and I can run wicd-curses before X. I've got some progress, I have no idea what went wrong though.
