Package: wicd Version: 1.7.0+ds1-5 Severity: normal After a lot of debugging I believe it is related to the fact that I cannot run a command like:
$ gksudo ls on my system... The result is a blink on the screen and the error message: (gksudo:8199): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_str_has_prefix: assertion `str != NULL' failed On the other hand, $ gksu ls works fine. Both ask for a password, and causes the screen to blink white after the correct password was inputted, but only the latter command produces useful output. I have hacked in support for wicd to run gksu-polkit instead of gksudo, and now I am able to configure the scripts. Now that I think of it, perhaps I should have tried to convert wicd to use gksu instead of gksudo. - Torquil -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35.4 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages wicd depends on: ii wicd-daemon 1.7.0+ds1-5 wired and wireless network manager ii wicd-gtk [wicd-client] 1.7.0+ds1-5 wired and wireless network manager wicd recommends no packages. wicd suggests no packages.
