Subject: [gentoo-user] wicd fails to set wireless connection
Date: Tue, 05 Jul 2011 10:32:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <iuui7k$paa$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)

Since yesterday I cannot use wicd any more to get a wireless connection (wired
still works fine). I think this has to do with a dbus update, but I'm not sure.
I have done several restarts, re-emerged all relevant packages (dbus, dbus-python,
wicd) but still it stops shortly after clicking the connect button in the GUI
window, saying "Disconnecting active connections..." in the status bar (even though
no connections were active).

If I start wicd-gtk from the command line I sometimes get the errors below, but
often it just "hangs". wicd-curses always fails reliably with the output below.
Does that ring a bell with someone?

Cheers,
    Peter.

$ wicd-curses


DBus failure! This is most likely caused by the wicd daemon stopping while wicd-curses is running. Please restart the daemon, and then restart wicd-curses.
