WICD crashes on launch

Just did a new install of 6.2 on my Apple G4 MDD last night. It has an Airport card installed.

Attempting to launch WICD, this is what happens:

Code: Select all
Introspect error: The name org.wicd.daemon was not provided by any .service files
Introspect error: The name org.wicd.daemon was not provided by any .service files
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/wicd/wicd-client.py", line 557, in ?

File "/usr/lib/wicd/wicd-client.py", line 531, in main
the_gui = gui.appGui()
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wicd/gui.py", line 1262, in __init__
self.refresh_networks(fresh=False)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wicd/gui.py", line 1740, in refresh_networks
if wired.CheckPluggedIn() or wired.GetAlwaysShowWiredInterface():
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 102, in __call__
reply_message = self._connection.send_with_reply_and_block(message, timeout)
File "dbus_bindings.pyx", line 455, in dbus_bindings.Connection.send_with_reply_and_block
dbus_bindings.DBusException: The name org.wicd.daemon was not provided by any .service files


Any suggestions?

BTW, does having to manually load the Airport firmware as documented in 6.1 apply to the 6.2 distribution?

The wireless card is detected in the network manager as eth0.

*scratches head*

Start here:
http://www.ydl.net/support/advisories.shtml

and look for the section If Wicd Network Manager dies after reboot ...

Try that procedure first.

NOTE: YDL doesn't have sudo setup by default. So - for step 2, you'll have to use this command instead:

Code: Select all
su --login [ENTER]


Cheers,
Paul

The very first thing you must try is the procedure I outlined above:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7639&p=39802#p39744

If that doesn't work, then post your results here.

Cheers,
Paul

Hallo again)))

I try this procedure but in step
4. nano /etc/wicd/manager-settings.conf [ENTER]

nano open empty file manager-settings.conf (or even create new one)

so for step

5. Change 'signal_display_type = False' to 'signal_display_type = 0'

its nothing to change in blank file

what can I do?)

Interesting - it should be there. Well - let's start from the beginning. What's the output of this command? (You'll have to type this in a terminal window)

rpm -qa | grep wicd

You should see something like this:

Code: Select all
[ppietro@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep wicd
wicd-1.5.3-7.ydl6.1


Also - just to be certain - you're using YDL 6.2, right? There are other issues with wicd and YDL 6.1.

Cheers,
Paul

Yes im using YDL 6.1)))


You should have mentioned that. I assumed you had YDL 6.2 like amstel78 from your previous post:

There's a separate issue with YDL 6.1 and wicd that doesn't appear to affect YDL 6.2. I would like to you apply our community patch here:

viewtopic.php?f=19&t=4534#p24084

and see if that allows you to start wicd. We can do some more troubleshooting from there.
