I need help, please...

Looks like DBUS daemon is not running at first glance.

Are you starting WICD according to the info file with command 'sudo wicd-start' ?

[jur]

Yes. I just started getting the dbus messages after last night's update.

I'll delete dbus and download it again.

[bmarkus]

Make sure that all of the extensions are up to date.

[jur]

OK that didn't help...

As far as I know, they are all up to date as last night I used tce-update which does all it finds in batch mode.

Looks like I may have to delete absolutely everything and start from scratch to make sure there isn't something that was skipped for whatever reason.

Is there some way dbus should be started?

[bmarkus]

Is there some way dbus should be started?

Yes:

$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus [start|stop|restart|status]

but it is done by WICD.

Advice is to make a clean install on USB stick and try it.

[jur]

OK I'll report back when I have done that. It may take a day or so.

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

[jur]

Right, pygobject did not fix my problem so I started fresh and now it's OK again.
