Linux tips: Change to Network Manager from Wicd

Linux tips: Change to Network Manager from Wicd

Step 1: If you're using Wicd (under Linux Mint) & you'd encounter "Device not ready" (under Wifi Networks on Network Manager) error,

// Stop systemd - wicd.service
# systemctl stop wicd


// Restart systemd - Network Manager service
# systemctl restart NetworkManager.service


(Extra: If you're changing from Network Manager to Wicd)

// Stop systemd - Network Manager
# systemctl stop NetworkManager.service

// Prevent Systemd from starting Network Manager at boot
# systemctl disable NetworkManager.service

// Restart wicd.service
# systemctl restart wicd

(Further notice: Wicd (leaner) is faster than Network Manager).
