[solved] wicd-gtk broken after last update

Hey everyone,

wicd and wicd-curses still work perfectly.
But when I try to run wicd-gtk I get this dbus(?)-errors:

Has notifications support True
Loading...
Connecting to daemon...
Connected.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/wicd/gtk/wicd-client.py", line 1033, in <module>
    main(sys.argv)
  File "/usr/share/wicd/gtk/wicd-client.py", line 91, in wrapper
    return func(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/wicd/gtk/wicd-client.py", line 1005, in main
    tray_icon = TrayIcon(animate, displaytray=display_app)
  File "/usr/share/wicd/gtk/wicd-client.py", line 139, in __init__
    self.icon_info = self.TrayConnectionInfo(self, self.tr, animate)
  File "/usr/share/wicd/gtk/wicd-client.py", line 198, in __init__
    self.update_tray_icon()
  File "/usr/share/wicd/gtk/wicd-client.py", line 91, in wrapper
    return func(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/wicd/gtk/wicd-client.py", line 347, in update_tray_icon
    self.set_wired_state(info)
  File "/usr/share/wicd/gtk/wicd-client.py", line 259, in set_wired_state
    'network-wired')
  File "/usr/share/wicd/gtk/wicd-client.py", line 233, in _show_notification
    self._last_bubble.show()
glib.GError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files

Worked befored.
dbus comes before wicd in the daemon-array.

What could it be? Thx a lot

I have this error with gnome3's notification-daemon when I use an openbox session.
If you don't use gnome3 you can just install another notification daemon to replace the one from gnome (e.g. the xfce notification daemon).

system is as bleeding edge as arch is...

That's it Problem solved. Thx a lot!

Im using Fluxbox and had notification-daemon (gnome) installed...
after replacing it with "xfce4-notifyd" everything works fine.

Does anyone have an idea whether this is a notification-daemon or a wicd bug? I'd like to file a bug report but I'm not sure which bugtracker to use..

I would theorize that it is a wicd issue. It appears notification-daemon has changed since the update to gnome3. If you manually call /usr/lib/notification-daemon before running wicd-client, wicd-client will run without crashing (but notifications still won't work).

Hi.

So the workaround is to launch notification-daemon first. Personnaly, once notification-daemon launched, wicd-client launches perfectly, and notifications work. (under openbox).

Hey, I think it's a notification-daemon problem.

Reverting to an earlier version of notification-daemon should fix the problem, or switching to xfce4-notifyd.

Re: [solved] wicd-gtk broken after last update

… strange thing. I had exactly the same problem. Funny though it worked perfectly fine until I installed kde yesterday. Now switching back to lxde and the wicd icon is gone. what confuses me is that  it worked when I stated wicd-client as root, but not as normal user. how ever, installing xfce4-notifyd does the trick for me.
