The DBus API changed in 1.7.1, and the upcoming wicd-kde release will support it. Unfortunately, current wicd-kde in Debian doesn't. Me and wicd-kde's upstream coordinated the respective releases on 17-18 December, so that should be fixed by then :) > Trying to launch wicd-curses gives this error: > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/wicd-curses.py", line 1063, in <module> > main() > File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/wicd-curses.py", line 995, in main > ui.run_wrapper(run) > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/urwid/raw_display.py", line > 229, in run_wrapper > return fn() > File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/wicd-curses.py", line 89, in wrapper > return func(*args, **kargs) > File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/wicd-curses.py", line 1003, in run > app = appGUI() > File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/wicd-curses.py", line 551, in __init__ > self.update_netlist(force_check=True,firstrun=True) > File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/wicd-curses.py", line 89, in wrapper > return func(*args, **kargs) > File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/wicd-curses.py", line 670, in update_netlist > wiredL,wlessL = gen_network_list() > File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/wicd-curses.py", line 177, in > gen_network_list > label = NetLabel(network_id,is_active) > File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/wicd-curses.py", line 358, in __init__ > self.stren,self.essid,self.encrypt,self.bssid,self.mode,self.channel) > UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 5: > ordinal not in range(128) I *hate* this Unicode mess in Python :( > So there is indeed a bug where some informations that can be in utf-8 > format are only expected to be in ascii by wicd (I don't know which > parameter is , concerned in the reported line 358 of sicd-curses.py, but > I suspect it is about the encoding of self.essid, that is indeed > unlikely to only contain ASCII characters). Yup, and the same goes with keys / user identities in general. I'll see what I can come up with; I'd really like to fix this with 1.7.1. > This bug seems critical, as wicd cannot be used in this case. It's not critical, but it's normal/important. WICD can still be used on non-utf networks ;) Kindly, David -- . ''`.
