DetailsDescription:
Right after installing Arch linux from a non-network install cd, I installed wicd (from the network, and after updating the package database first). After fixing a bug where a broken (empty) wicd config file was preventing dbus from running, and making sure that that config file now contained all the proper stuff (I just took the wicd.conf from wicd's bz2 and placed it in /etc/dbus-l/system.d), I made sure dbus and wicd were running and then tried wicd-client -n from a terminal in xorg. Wicd-client failed silently without any error message. This leads me to believe there is something wrong with the wicd package, likely a missing dependency. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/wicd/+bug/579740 Additional info: * package version(s) 1.7.0-3 * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: |
This task depends upon

Reason for closing: Fixed
Additional comments about closing: This shouldn't happen anymore with the new package in [extra]. wicd runs fine on my computers.

I noticed that when I scan for wireless networks with wicd-client, my Conky RAM readout skyrockets, and then starts swapping every bit as fast as RAM. This doesn't happen in 1.7.0-2 or 1.7.0-3 when scanning/connecting using wicd-curses, however.
