Yup! You are right guys.

The first time was with both touch pad and external mouse activated at the same time and accidentally touching the touch pad. Couldn't understand what happened. I now tried vertically on the right edge of the touch pad with the mouse pointer over the title bar and there we went To avoid confusion a 'shade' button with Clearlooks-Phenix-Purpy would be nice .

Thank you very much for your help.

On the side. I am wondering who on the forum who are also Devuan developers? I checked the forum user list, but it does not mention.

Anyhows I would like to express my great appreciation and say thank you for the Devuan project. My first real encounter with GNU/Linux was Debian some years ago where I also tried gNewSense, but then systemd came along and all related to GNU/Linux came to a halt. So when I found out about Devuan I was very pleased. Have been monitoring the releases since alpha/beta stages and are now for the first time getting to know how it works. So then having the experience that Devuan is the most responsive system that I have ever used, has been a delightful experience. When working with different systems one get a intuitive feel for how well hardware and software works together, and Devuan gives me a very pleasant feel. As a comparison I was working with NT-networks back in the 90's and I have never been satisfied with any MS system up to and included Win10. So I hope and wish for a long and lasting life for the project

Thanks for your prompt reply fungus.

It is Xfce 4.10 with Devuan Jessie 1.0.

Firefox version is 52.5 which was upgraded the day it was released I guess. Have a habit of doing a 'update/upgrade' almost every day. When you ask, I am suddenly uncertain as to how long ago the first instance was..... So it could be that both instances has been with 52.5, the first time not with 52.4

Yes it was indeed cool catprints

Thanks for reminding me paying tribute to treebeard

Forgot to ask about "master" file.

Over at Debian Wiki https://wiki.debian.org/iptables it says:

A bit confusing, so I have to ask; Is this some specific temporary master file read by netfilter?

Great catprints ! Really appreciate it.

The command:

$ amixer set Master unmute

did it.

Thanks for the tip @greenjeans . Appreciate it.

Thank you @fsmithred

If I understand the manual correctly, when using the 'remove' command I have to remove the /etc/init.d script first, otherwise an error message. Do you agree?

I don't remember where, I believe I read that if using the 'disable' command instead it would stop the startup, but when a upgrade of Wicd happens, it would be overwritten and go back to default as before. I am guessing/asking if this would happen with 'remove' and removal of wicd script in /etc/init.d too. Which makes me think of maybe a complete uninstall of Wicd would be better in that regards. If ending up using wpa_supplicant that is.

Last, thank you for mentioning sysv-rc-conf and user guide

Hello Guys,

I am wondering why the script S03wicd is located at all folders from rc2.d to rc5.d ? I have understood it as all the folders represent runlevels during boot.

Also, I am wondering how to permanently turn of the Wicd service startup?

Would for example:

update-rc.d wicd disable

disable wicd on all runlevels? Then again, would:

update-rc.d wicd enable

enable on all levels? Or is this a overly complicated way of doing it? The latter meaning affecting many files.

Thanks

Thank you for your reply @fungus

Right out of the box Wicd seems kind of broken. That is, if there is no compatibility issue with the Broadcom BCM4312 adapter.

I have tried to check the 'Never connect to this network' on all the other networks but it does not make any difference.

For the record and repeating details in my initial post:
- At start no wifi networks appear in the Wicd networks window
- Pressing 'Refresh' button does not seem to initialize anything. So no networks appear
- One have to press 'Switch Off Wi-Fi' twice to make it turn off
- When turning on again and then pressing 'Refresh' button networks appear
- Signal strenght with desired wifi network is mostly showing 100%, but has been noted going down to 88%

For a non-technical person doing the steps above would be counter intuitive. Which applies to my better half who is going to use the computer

People ask me which OS i would recommend and until Devuan arrived I have been uncertain what to recommend. I am currently using FreeBSD my self coming from MS Windows and have not been willing to use time learning a systemd system. My point is that having Wicd working as it should would be a good thing for non-tech people when switching between different wifi networks and wired.

I am not sure what you mean when you say "Wicd seems to work better when you don't actually get into it...".

Until Wicd would work without issues the closest alternative for me would be to do a manual configuration. So I can ask if the configuration below would be correct and recommended?:

In /etc/network/interfaces:

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/network/wpa-psk-tkip.conf

In /etc/network/wpa-psk-tkip.conf:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
	ssid="xxxxxxxxx"
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
	proto=WPA
	pairwise=TKIP
	group=TKIP
	psk="xxxxxxxxx"
}

Thanks

Thank you for your reply MiyoLinux.

I have tried to run Netflix with the Firefox-ESR version in the Devuan 1.0.0 Jessie release image from an USB stick, but get the Netflix HTML5 / Silverlight requirement page. I am trying with default settings in Firefox-ESR.

Is there a specific setting that I am not aware of?
