I agree that the default configuration of wicd and Network Manager daemons conflict in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx). I don't agree that this is a package conflict. The two are not duplicates of functionality in one way - text mode interface.
Currently Ubuntu Recovery Mode has an option to run a package repair (the "dpkg" entry). It requires network access to be useful. The only network option is "netroot" which just runs dhclient. That is sufficient if you have a wired connection but it's useless with wireless. Network Manager doesn't have an equivalent to wicd-curses. What is needed is a configuration option to run EITHER wicd OR network- manager daemons at specific runlevels. This means changes to the wicd init script and network-manager Upstart jobs, possibly needing Upstart profiles support. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/555403 Title: installing wicd does not uninstall networkmanager in lucid -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
