I've edited my /etc/dbus-1/system.d/wicd.conf as said by the wiki, and added myself to the network group. But upon startup wicd just says it needs access to my network card and asks for my root password. Then when I try to start wicd-client it just says "Could not connect to wicd's D-Bus interface. Check the wicd log for error messages"
here's the log for the last event:

Hello zephyrus17!
Could you follow this thread? http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/sup … 04521.html

Nope. didn't work. I copied
<allow send_requested_reply="true" send_type="method_call"/>
into the <policy> section of /etc/dbus-1/system.conf. The error message still appears. The password asking disappeared, though.

i had a similar problem, i had a malformed config file (an empty wired network entry), after deleting the entry everything went back to normal!

what's the name of your config file?
Offline
config-file:
/etc/wicd/wired-settings.conf
i had a profile without a name in my config file, something like that:
[]
[wired-default]
afterscript = None
use_static_dns = False
dns3 = None
ip = None
dns1 = None
lastused = True
broadcast = None
default = 0
netmask = None
dns2 = None
beforescript = None
disconnectscript = None
gateway = None
use_global_dns = False
i had to delete "[]" ...

Nope. mine is fine. No extra stuff.

I had same problem. I removed the wicd package, deleted whole /etc/wcid and reinstalled the package, and it works again . Maybe you can try it?

Hmm.. I could have, but out of frustration I did a complete reinstall of arch. Everything works now. Very odd.
