python/wicd is broken in Slackware 14.0 on my system, and I can't figure out why.
I tried to load wicd and this happened:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/wicd/daemon/wicd-daemon.py", line 56, in <module>
from wicd import wpath
ImportError: No module named wicd
I googled for a couple of hours and I found it somewhere where it said to refresh the modules, but that was for debian and does not seem like an option here. If you know anything about this, please post and thanks in advanced.
root@darkstar:~# wicd
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/wicd/daemon/wicd-daemon.py", line 56, in <module>
from wicd import wpath
ImportError: No module named wicd
Is it a fresh slackware 14 install or an upgrade from 13.37? If it's an upgrade you might need to recompile wicd as Python was upgraded in the last current cycle.
By the lack of any response to my question I assume it is a fresh install.
Did you install wicd from /extra? Have you changed anything in you environment variables?
I also assume you installed wicd for the right architecture.
It seems like wicd hasn't been correctly installed. You should have the wicd directory in site-packages. Have you installed any other version of Python on top of the stock one?
It looks like it's not a fresh install after all. You installed wicd before the upgrade of Python from 2.6 to 2.7. The upgrade took place a few months ago before the release of Slackware 14. Uninstall wicd and install it from /extra in Slackware64 14.
I deleted everything today, so I can guarantee that is a fresh install. Though the iso I made might have not been, so I will download the package from a new source, considering that this iso I made could have been from a bad mirror from what you said.
Yeah it is a bad mirror, so I guess I am going to have to reinstall everything and delete the scripts and get the official iso. Sorry for wasting anyone's time.
