[Solved] Run WICD On Startup

[Member jeb.jr]

Running AntiX 17.2: WICD Network Manager sees my wi-fi controller, shows all available network SSIDs, and I can log in to my SSID, all good. However, each time I restart the machine, I must restart WICD and reconnect to my SSID. I’ve tried the fixes described at https://youtu.be/bcSMz-Qj2z8 but the result was WICD not working at all (dbus errors, I think).

You could look if any of these settings will bring your wicd back to work.

Just to make you able to connect to the internet in the meantime, did you have a look at ceni ?
As a last option, if it’s a really new installation and there’s nothing to loose, you could also reinstall and choose wicd with the F5 or F4 -options during live-boot.This setting will stay over to the install and wicd will autostart.
