[Member SolusUmbra]

could not resolve; “mirrors.rit.edu” “tfp.us.debian.org” “security.debian.org”

Go to controlcenter~~> maintenance~~> managing apt repos
There you can choose the antiX and debian repos
The internet is up ?

Internet wasn’t first time I tired, I can’t seem to get the wicd to stay on. Changed the repos and it seems to have worked.

Did you chose wicd on the live-boot with the F4 key like I said in your first post ?
If not so wicd will not autoconnect on startup.
You could try ceni or you have to make some changes in /etc/default/wicd
So did you use F4 option ?

I tried but I guess I didn’t do it right.
I know this should be a new post, but it says I’m not permitted to make changes to wicd file.

Ok, do the following
sudo leafpad /etc/default/wicd

This will open the file with a line like this
START_DAEMON=no

Change this line to this
#START_DAEMON=no

close and save

Then go to controlcenter -> Session -> User Desktop Session

In this file it should be line 23 24 25
change it to look like this

# Uncomment to show wicd networking monitor
wicd-client -t &
grep -q "START_DAEMON=no" /etc/default/wicd || wicd-client -t &

close and save

wicd should now autostart on bootup

No, my file

# Start the daemon by default, let the user disable it.
# Use "no" (without quotes) to make /etc/init.d/wicd *NOT* start the WICD daemon.
#START_DAEMON=no

# By default don't kill connections on daemon shutdown, see
# https://bugs.debian.org/816076 and
# https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~wicd-devel/wicd/experimental/revision/851
DAEMON_ARGS="--keep-connection"

So my username that I created and “root” user aren’t the same and have different permissions.
When I used the root terminal I was able to access sudo leafpad /etc/default/wicd
and save it.

Did you also make the changes above in controlcenter -> Session -> User Desktop Session ?
Does wicd now autostart on bootup ?

Why comment it out instead of changing it to “yes”. This is mine unmolested.

# NOTE: This file is ignored if systemd is used as init system!
#
# Start the daemon by default, let the user disable it.
# Use "no" (without quotes) to make /etc/init.d/wicd *NOT* start the WICD daemon.
START_DAEMON=yes

# By default don't kill connections on daemon shutdown, see
# https://bugs.debian.org/816076 and
# https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~wicd-devel/wicd/experimental/revision/851
DAEMON_ARGS="--keep-connection"

Just curious as to why this way and not that way.

There have been slightly different solutions over the past 2 years for this.
Some then started not to work on some systems.
The above until now always worked. I don’t know why.
