Dear all Recently Wicd started to always fail at start-up, with a dbus related error: "Could not connect to wicd's D-Bus interface. Check the wicd log for error messages."
Strangely the icon will load, but when clicking to access the interface it will pop up the next error: "The wicd daemon has shut down. The UI will not function properly until it is restarted." On the command line I get this: li...@debian-liv:~$ wicd-client Has notifications support True Loading... Connecting to daemon... Can't connect to the daemon, trying to start it automatically... sudo: sorry, a password is required to run sudo Wicd daemon is shutting down! Done loading. I tried to switch back to NetworkManager, but it's too unstable for me. And I am not aware of other alternatives. At the end of the e-mail are the messages that I get when I run Wicd from the root commandline, and the log file. I get similar behaviour with both testing and sid versions (1.6.1 and 1.6.2.2). Thank you Liviu ### root command line ### debian-liv:/home/liviu# /etc/init.d/wicd restart * Restarting Network connection manager wicd [ ok ] debian-liv:/home/liviu# wicd-client libnotify-Message: Unable to get session bus: Did not receive a reply.
