Wicd Introspect error

[mkdosh]

I've recently installed YDL 6.1 on my PS3. For the first few days I was able to connect to the router on my PC gateway via Wicd. In subsequent efforts to set up access to my home wireless network for printer service (using Senario 3 of the posted network set up notes) I get an error as Wicd starts up.

"Introspect error: The name org.wicd.daemon was not provided by any .service files"

Is this repairable? How?

Did you try this from the Wireless tips and tricks for YDL 6.1 post? viewtopic.php?f=19&t=4534#p23390

Also - I did run into the "Can't start wicd manager" issue. It was resolved by following the steps in this post
http://us.fixstars.com/support/advisories.shtml
with the exception of sudo. sudo is not set up on YDL systems by default. Instead, use su - for that step.

Just checking the obvious before we start digging deeper.

I've had no success with this procedure. I launched the terminal and typeed "sudo bash". I got the prompt for my password but my keystrokes did not register. But I entered my passward, anyway. I got an error message saying that my user id was not in the "sudoers file".

Re-read my quote carefully. I'll boldface the key part of that quote:

You'll need to use su - instead of sudo. That's su followed by a space and a dash. So instead of

sudo bash - [ENTER]

you would just use

su - [ENTER]

Also - your password is never echoed back when you type it. That's a security feature so others can't see your password.

Oops! I did miss that. The procedure did reconnet me to the Internet. Thanks for your help and pactience.
