Ubuntu 16.04 How to switch to Wicd Network Manager cleanly? I am having issues with the gnome network manager and I have always liked the wicd network manager. I have already tried to reconfigure using `dpkg --reconfigure` to no avail. So I would like to just switch over, but I want to do it cleanly so that bootup doesn't look for .conf settings from network manager. Also I have already installed wicd so that I can actually use the internet. I Any help, especially command line reference would be greatly appreciated.

According to Archlinux-wiki , To use WICD you need to disable other network daemons (netctl, netcfg, dhcpcd, NetworkManager)

> Warning: Running multiple network managers will cause problems, so it is important to disable all other network management daemons.
>
> First, stop all previously running network daemons (like `netctl`, `netcfg`, `dhcpcd`, `NetworkManager`). Disable any existing network management services, including `netctl`, `netcfg`, `dhcpcd`, and `networkmanager`

You can find a list of the currently running services with `systemctl --type=service` and then stop them.
