I had issues with WiFi so I removed Network Manager.
I booted Windows OS (dual booting Windows 7 and 12.04) to download wicd 1.7.2.4
. Extracted it and installed. However, wcid
worked properly with Wired Connection but could not connect to WiFi. So, I re-installed Network Manager which works properly now, and wicd
connects to WiFi too.
As soon as I disconnect from Network Manager, wicd
connects only to wired. At this point, I wanted to remove wicd
but apt-get
returns no wicd installed
, can't see it in Synaptic or Software Center, but only in Applications list under Dash home.
Of course wcid
icon shows connections, and resulting connected, so my system shows both applets for wicd
and network manager
in the top panel. When running dpkg
commands, wicd is not listed as installed package.
Any suggestion how to remove wicd
? Consider that I started with Ubuntu just few months ago so my knowledge base is limited.
