yesterday i forgot to plug in the power cable so i ran out of battery. I still dont have a Backup so i had to do it again. I thought it would be easy to get the wifi working but now i cant even start wicd.
when i try to start it, it says:

Code: [Select]
stopped /usr/local/bin/dbus-daemon (pid 5988)
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "usr/local/share/wicd/daemon/wicd-daemon.py", line 46, in <module>
      import gobject
ImportError: No module named gobject

What could be the problem this time?
I already found out that it is something with a python gtk, but i dont really know how to solve that problem and why i didnt have it last time.

thnx again, SixT7

Most probably you have missing extension(s) due a corruption. Check extensions against md5 and reinstall demaged one. Is your TCE on a FAT/ext2 or a journaling file system, like ext3?

After booting TC from CD are you installing WICD with the AppBrowser or it is already available?

SixT7:

it is not a problem at your side. Issue is caused by pygobject.tcz extension which was updated ob February 23. It seems to be broken :(

Previous version of pygobject.tcz was restored in the repository rolling back faulty update made on February 23. Tested, WICD now works again.
