So, how would I disable wicd-client.py?
Posted: 27 Jun 2012, 02:28
As part of a project, I am trying to figure out how to prevent the wicd-client.py utility from running when the desktop starts up. Disabling the wicd utility daemon was as easy as editing /etc/rc.d/rc.M, but now when the desktop starts the user is presented with an error window asking to run the wicd daemon as root. This is bad because it breaks the user experience.
I have tried editing the /etc/xdg/autostart/wicd-tray.desktop file to add the "Hidden=true" attribute (and booted with the nonetwork cheat code) but that does not seem to do anything in the default KDE Trinity environment. I have also tried wiping that file's contents and deleting it entirely, but those do not seem to work, either (they were tested by logging out and back in again, incidentally, and not rebooting).
Doing a recursive grep of all of the files in /home/guest on the case-insensitive string '*wicd*' did not turn anything up. Nor did grepping files under /usr, /etc, or even ~/.kde (where I would expect KDE startup files to go).
Does anyone more knowledgable of KDE know how to do this? It is fairly important.
