I wanted to hack around with wicd so I went ahead, downloaded a tarball, removed the wicd packages on my system, and installed from source (with the no gnome extensions flag), but now I'm having issues reverting to the wicd package.
The installed-from-source version works OK, except for the fact that every time I restart my computer it prompts me to enter my password (which never happened with the package version). I tried using
sudo apt-get install -d wicd...andrandomrependencies
to download the wicd package, and then running the source's uninstall.sh, but I got the following error.
There does not appear to be an installation log present, most
likely because you did not install Wicd from this directory.
That "most likely reason" is untrue, but even if I try installing wicd from source and immediately running uninstall.sh, I still get the error.
Worse still, the source version seems to take precedence over the package version- even with the wicd package installed now, I'm still getting that prompt on bootup to elevate the wicd daemon's privileges.
Do you know of any ways to properly uninstall wicd?
