Allan runs GNOME 3, and therefore systemd. systemd cannot run without |
| 27 |
dbus (unless until kdbus is ready). That is not the problem. |

Allan, could you introspect wicd? I don't use wicd, so I don't know |
| 38 |
the exact destination nor object-path, but with NetworkManager is: |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
gdbus introspect --system --dest org.freedesktop.NetworkManager |
| 41 |
--object-path /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
wicd should use something similar. Use /etc/dbus-1/system.d/*wicd* as guide. |
| 44 |

Regards. |
