Wicd suddenly started to ask for password at startup,
"Wicd needs to access your computer's network cards"
sometimes followed by this error messages:
"Could not connect to wicd's D-Bus interface. Check the wicd log for error messages"
Never did it before, what I did is:
- Installed xampp
- Installed chkconfig
- Disabled Apache2 at startup with # chkconfig apache2 off
- Enabled xampp at startup using this guide: start xampp at startup
Any hints? My distro is Debian 8.
EDIT
Even If I check options to remember password when prompted, password is asked each boot.

EDIT 2
Seems to me that the above log doesn't show any relevant information, probably because it log information after the daemon starts, but my issue occurs before it! I think it's something related to timing issue, as when I'm prompted for the password it doesn't matter what I choose, even I click "cancel" I receive the second error but tray icon works and wi-fi connection works. I already checked configuration files in /etc/wicd but there is nothing strange, no empty brackets as someone suggest to fix this problem. Already tried to edit manager-settings.conf in sudo_app=1 without any success. Just to recap the problem started disabling Apache2 and installing Xampp, enabling it at startup. My idea is that wicd-client doesn't wait for wicd daemon and that's why I'm prompted for the password, to start the daemon! But the daemon starts anyway as expected (even choosing cancel! ). Any help will be appreciated.
