WICD and CNETWORKMANAGER python pro *** SOLVED BY QUICK ACTIN DEV**

OrangeRoot1000 · 2010-01-19 01:35:06

Hi all I seem to be having some serious issues with this install for Arch. I am trying to get my networking going and since I travel a lot Wicd in GUI and Curses does a fine job handling wired and wifi connections. However, it is having some python problems as well as CNetworkManager. I can't downgrade to a prior version of anything because everything is new. Help would be appreciated.

I am also getting the same error from wicd-curses. Downgrading python-urwid from 0.9.9-1 to 0.9.8.4-1 fixes it for me. I tried rebuilding both python-urwid and wicd without luck.

There is already a bug filed: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/17899

The bug is fixed. I have moved wicd-1.7.0 to extra which was built against python-urwid 0.9.9 which is in extra. So wicd should be fine after you update your packages (and after your mirror synced it).

Once fi mirror updated at 1700 hrs I dropped in Wicd and it works like a charm. Hey I need to learn to do it the manual way too.....

Thanks. I appreciate it, and I'm sure other Wicd users do too.
