 |
|
Hi,
When I start kde the wicd wireless manager asks for the root password to be launched. This only happens when I start my laptop in battery mode. Can anybody help me to fix this? |

wicd client only asks for the root password if the wicd service (/etc/init.d/wicd) is not running. Check to make sure that on your battery profile, wicd is started/not stopped.
Hope this helps. |

rc-update show | grep wicd
wicd | default
It seems wicd is already in the default. How can I add it to the battery profile? |

| If you want to disable wicd-client on KDE start (you can always launch it later manually) you can delete /etc/xdg/autostart/wicd* |
