Ubuntu
wicd package

wicd and network manager

Asked by John Kelly

Hi,
installing wicd through sudo aptitude update
                                    sudo aptitude install wicd

I noticed in the scrolling down terminal data that wicd had a fail so I went through the process again and restarted the computer to see the wicd icon alongside the network manager applet working in tandem?
How do I remove network manager applet to allow wicd run on its own!?
thanks
John

By default, wicd removes the network-manager upon installation. Try reinstalling wicd.

HTH.
