[solved] systemd - Job for wicd.service failed

Hi, i have problems with networking after switching to systemd.

Network connection gets disconnected after about 1 minute.

I can issue:

sudo systemctl start wicd.service

I can renew dhcp address in wicd client, but after a while, i got:

Job for wicd.service failed. See 'systemctl status wicd.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

It used to work fine before migration to systemd.
Why it gets disconnected? How to fix it?

Well, it's solved. I removed sysvinit and initscripts.

Re: [solved] systemd - Job for wicd.service failed

Thanks for leaving the solution. I had the same problem, and removing initscripts fixed it for me, too.

I wonder why initscripts messes up wicd when systemd is running.
