Hypnos, you have led me to resolving most of the issues. You said "invoke" wicd from a konsole, I had no idea what you meant. However, I simply typed wicd in a console, and it informed me that the daemon was already running. "Okay.....?" I thought, but I saw another message below it that was the key in this case. It said, "...otherwise, rm /var/run/wicd/wicd.pid" (better back the file up first since I don't know what will happen).
| Code: | | rm /var/run/wicd/wicd.pid |
No output.
No output.
Now, when I open wicd, graphics interface or wicd-curses, I can see what's going on. We fixed it! So I rebooted, and same problem. What do I do?
| Quote: | | wicd | default sysinit |
It has to be something about starting the daemon in rc-update.
| Code: | | rc-update del wicd default |
| Code: | | rc-update del wicd sysinit |
It works now!!
Only one minor problem. No wireless, but ethernet works like a charm! Once again, thanks to all of you, you have really helped me solve this frustrating problem. Now, if anyone has any suggestions for wireless internet for me to try, it would be the last fix I currently need to have a working gentoo system. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Update:
I just wanted to say the issue is solved with wireless. To get wireless working, I simply had to enable it in wicd's settings, which was making it use wlan0. That's it.
Thanks to you guys for sticking with me through the issue. With your help, I have seemed to solve it, and am now very happy with my gentoo instillation. I still have a long ways to go, but basic functionality indeed works, and I look forward to working with any of you in the future.

Add wicd back to the default run level. That sysinit business was your problem.
And by invoke Hypnos meant run which is exactly what you did with the console.
