BackTrack 4 Pre Final: can not start Wicd Network Manager (/usr/bin/wicd-client)

2009 July 25

Here’s the workaround:

Execute:

root@cbug-nest:~# /usr/bin/start-network

After that clicking Internet -> Wicd Network Manager (or type /usr/bin/wicd-client on terminal) should bring you the Wicd Manager

    Note that you have to run the command as root!

    $ /usr/bin/start-network
    Starting Network connection manager: wicd failed!
    $ sudo /usr/bin/start-network
    Starting Network connection manager: wicd.
    $
