I am on ubuntu 10.10 and i had the same conflict, wicd vs network- manager and my wifi card didn't connect to the ap while i was in text mode (gdm not started). I solved putting these lines in rc.local file:
/etc/init.d/networking stop service network-manager stop /etc/init.d/wicd start then you could use wicd-client to setup your network if you haven't do it yet. i -- 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wicd/+bug/555403/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
