wicd not starting on boot up

[Member bones113]

Installed the latest full iso on a ibm r51 laptop. 1.6 gig single core 32 bit cpu 1.2 gigs of ram. Works good. I have a couple of questions. The wicd icon does not show up in the task bar even though wireless is working. I can make it show up via the control center but when rebooting it fails to show. Also I have a “no pinboard” error upon booting to the desktop. The fault reads” No Pinboard was in use…The default pinboard has been selected. Use ‘rox -p=Default to turn it on in the future”. I have to close this dialog box every time after booting. I tried searching before posting but could not find anything.

Still figuring Antix Linux out.

Thanks Tony

For the “no pinboard” error you can try

Go to control-centre -> session -> user desktop session
This will open geany. In geany look at desktop-session.conf
Change STARTUP_DELAY=”2″
to STARTUP_DELAY=”5″

For wicd-icon you can try this

On the nopinboard problem Your suggestion worked. On the wicd icon not starting your suggestion did not work. I experimented with the startup applications. I enabled wicd to start up on boot and went to leafpad and edited it from no on startup to yes. Saved and rebooted and the icon appeared. Rebooted several times and it appeared each time. I will mark this solved. I thank you for your help. Antix is a good operating system. It brought new life to this old laptop.
Thanks again
Tony.
