Since emerging world two days ago I cannot use wicd any more to get a wireless connection, wired still works fine. Just before this happened I emerged world with ~90 updated packages, including dbus-1.4.12 (update from 1.4.6) and python 2.7.2 (update from 2.7.1-r1). I did restart dbus afterwards (actually I rebooted several times). I tried to re-emerge dbus, dbus-python, and wicd, and also downgrade dbus, python and some other packages to their earlier versions, without success. If I start wicd-gtk from the command line I sometimes get the errors below, but often it just "hangs". wicd-curses always fails reliably with the output below. (I posted the same problem to the gentoo-user yesterday but haven't gotten any useful hints.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: With wicd-curses 1. start wicd-curses 2. select wireless router 3. hit enter With the GNOME 2.33.1 tray icon: 1. Press left mouse button to open windowed GUI 2. Press Connect of the wireless node 3. Progress bar at the bottom stops shortly afterwards, saying "Disconnecting active connections..." in the status bar (even if no connections were active). Actual Results: Crashes or hangs, with one of the following outputs: $ wicd-gtk Has notifications support True Loading... Connecting to daemon... Connected. displaytray True Done loading.

Oh well. I needed wireless to work, so I restored my root fs from a backup from before the latest world emerge. Now the error is gone, I therefore resolve it as WFM, at least until I emerge world again.

Now the error is gone, I therefore resolve it > as WFM, at least until I emerge world again. I could not reproduce it either. Everything fine here. You may try to split the upgrade by doing dbus and wicd alone with nothing else, then see if the problem comes up again. Thanks for your report.
I have same issue: can't use wireless with wicd after upgrade to net-misc/wicd-1.7.1_pre20111210 with wired network all ok. With wireless router all too, because nothing chnges ito it and my phone connects wifi without any problem.

(In reply to comment #3) > I have same issue: can't use wireless with wicd after upgrade to > net-misc/wicd-1.7.1_pre20111210 with wired network all ok. Hi, thanks for your report. The particular problem reported in this bug could not be reproduced and went away. Please open a new bug with your problem (which is probably different, because the current version of wicd was not in the tree at the time this bug was active). Before that, please try downgrading to wicd-1.7.1_beta2-r7. Does it work again then? If yes, please open a new bug and attach also the content of /var/log/wicd/wicd.log before and after the upgrade. Please not this file may contain IP-addresses of your local network and other *sensitive data*. Please cut that data before uploading. Thanks.

Thanks, Thomas, for You reply. While looking info about this problem i've noticed that now wicd has new format of config files. So, I try to umerge wicd with all dependecies. Remove all config files and then compile new version of wicd. After fresh install and configure all start works fine. Thanks, again.
