wicd problem with dbus

Whenever I want to start wicd from the consle it fails and I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./wicd-client.py", line 50, in <module>
    import wicd.gui as gui
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/wicd/gui.py", line 2005, in <module>
    setup_dbus()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/wicd/gui.py", line 177, in setup_dbus
    proxy_obj = bus.get_object("org.wicd.daemon", '/org/wicd/daemon')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 244, in get_object
    follow_name_owner_changes=follow_name_owner_changes)

    '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

Restarting all the connected daemons (wicd, dbus, hal) doesn;t solve the problem. I use the newest packages available in the repo.

Re: wicd problem with dbus

I am also having this problem. Not sure what to do. It seems like this same thing happened before 2 versions ago or something.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Re: wicd problem with dbus

nevermind stupid user error again. I had the wicd daemon before hal in the daemons array. Switched it and is working fine again.
