Every time I try to run any command with "sudo", my system hangs, and the terminal that I entered this into becomes unusable (no ctrl+C will exit the process).
For some reason wicd is also not running; when I use "wicd-client" from the command line, I get this error:
ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.22:/org/wicd/daemon: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply.
I have hal in my DAEMONS section of my rc.conf, which should start dbus (I have also tried adding dbus right before hal as well), so while dbus has started, it doesn't seem to be working.
I can supply any more information, but this problem has gone past my individual troubleshooting capability and a conventional google search.

When did the sudo problem start? What is the error message? Have you configured sudo according to this wiki article?

Is your user in the /etc/sudoers file and a part of the wheel group?

Yes, sudo was working before I updated, as it should. Sudo returns no error, simply any command ran with sudo fails to start.
Offline
Updated what and when?
Offline
Everything today, with pacman -Syyu. I know kernel updated from 2.6.32 to 2.6.33 but I can't tell you much else.

When you start the process with sudo, try checking what happens to it with a system monitor like htop.

The process running is "sudo wicd-client", the status is D+ (meaning foreground uninterruptible sleep) according to ps

Perhaps try reinstalling sudo and dependencies. Also, can you post your sudoers.conf?

This is not a sudo bug from what I can tell, but rather a dbus bug that is breaking many programs, sudo included.
Reinstalling could be difficult, since wicd will not start, I have no internet.
EDIT: also rebooting does not work, I have to force power off. The system stalls at trying to halt the dbus daemon.

As far as I know, sudo doesn't depend on dbus. Do you have wired internet?
Offline
No, but I can move over individual packages from my netbook.

Try reinstalling dbus from your netbook. You may also want to downgrade it.

Reinstalling does nothing and I have no clue where I'd get a package for downgrading. Could it be a kernel problem?
EDIT: On reboot I've lost all keyboard use and gdm fails to start...
