Hello,

Network-Manager-Applet isn't present in my install of Arch. I installed nm-applet and this is the error:

[root@darkstar wicd]# nm-applet
**
GLib-GIO:ERROR:gdbusconnection.c:2270:initable_init: assertion failed: (connection->initialization_error == NULL)
Aborted

I can't get wicd-client working ether. This is the output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/wicd/gtk/wicd-client.py", line 63, in <module>

Any Help? Thanks

Did you install them both? If so, that may be your problem. They'll conflict with each other since both of them have a service that runs at startup. Try stopping one and then restarting the other. I prefer wicd myself.

Yea, I installed them both. How would I disable one of them?

Temporarily just to see if they're conflicting, you can just /etc/rc.d/<whichever> stop then /etc/rc.d/<the other> restart and launch it's corresponding frontend to see if it works then. If one/both does work with having the other service stopped, uninstall whichever one doesn't work for you or whichever one you simply prefer less. No point in having them both installed.
