wicd does not start

Hi @all,

my wicd does not start on slitaz 5:

root@slitaz:~$ wicd

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/share/wicd/daemon/wicd-daemon.py", line 46, in <module>

    import gobject

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gobject/__init__.py", line 47, in <module>

    from gobject.constants import *

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gobject/constants.py", line 24, in <module>

    import gobject._gobject

ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gobject/_gobject.so: undefined symbol: g_type_check_instance_is_fundamentally_a

Any ideas for possible reasons?

Regards,

Michael

Re: wicd does not start

Well, I can live with it as it is possible to configure the WLAN using tazpanel. But I find it strange. There was no error message when installing wicd.

What to do now? Just uninstall it and try it anew?

Re: wicd does not start

Just for fun I tried to install wicd on another installation - and got this error:

So apparently there is something wrong?

Re: wicd does not start

Hi Michael,

Something wrong, I can't exactly get it: on your side, or on mirror side. Can you try the next steps in the terminal?

1. [c]tazpkg info ethtool[/c]

My output:

[c]TazPkg information
================================================================================
Package    : ethtool
State      : mirrored package
Version    : 4.2
Category   : network
Short desc : Display or change ethernet card settings.
Web site   : https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool
Size       : 76K/252K
Tags       : ethernet
================================================================================[/c]
What is version displayed on your side? 3.12.1 or 4.2?

2. Become root and update package database: [c]tazpkg recharge[/c]

Any errors while command executed?

3. Repeat step #1 again. Is version changed to the correct one?

4. If step #3 and/or #4 fail(s), change "mirror" to "mirror1" inside your [c]/var/lib/tazpkg/mirror[/c] file and re-try the steps above.

________

Facts:

Correct version of the ethtool is 4.2:

http://pkgs.slitaz.org/?info=ethtool

http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?pkg=ethtool

Packages database also contains 4.2 as for ethtool version: I manually downloaded http://mirror1.slitaz.org/packages/5.0/bundle.tar.lzma and looked inside.

Re: wicd does not start

@Dear Aleksej,

I did what you recommended. No error seen. But again it does not work:

root@slitaz:~$ wicd &

root@slitaz:~$ Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/share/wicd/daemon/wicd-daemon.py", line 46, in <module>

    import gobject

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gobject/__init__.py", line 47, in <module>

    from gobject.constants import *

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gobject/constants.py", line 24, in <module>

    import gobject._gobject

ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gobject/_gobject.so: undefined symbol: g_type_check_instance_is_fundamentally_a

[1]+  Done(1)                    wicd

May be there is somewhere some wrong config-file?

Re: wicd does not start

@michaelbischof

WICD is working here on a full 5.0 install.

Based on your WICD start error you have possible incomplete installs of WICD and/or some of the programs it depends on.

Since the error output mentions gobject, verify pygobject install is good.

Install is good if it can be repacked successfully:

[c]tazpkg repack pygobject[/c]

Re: wicd does not start

@mojo,

repacking work flawlessly. So I guess I should try later to control that I have indeed a complete install of Wicd .

root@slitaz:~$ tazpkg repack pygobject

Repacking: pygobject-2.28.6.tazpkg

================================================================================

Package pygobject repacked successfully.

Size: 136.0K    pygobject-2.28.6.tazpkg

Have a nice weekend,

Michael
