Ubuntu 13.10 - Samsung Series 9 - Wireless connection only

Issue: Wicd does not automatically re-connect after the laptop is suspended. This happens when the laptop is turned back on in the same room, or when I get back home and open it up. I have the "automatically connect to this network" on all of my preferred networks in each location. Additionally, when I resume in another location, the wireless network list does not refresh.

I have network manager and all of its parts uninstalled. Wicd is the only wireless connection software that I am running.

I have looked all over Ask Ubuntu, but none of the solutions (installing, purging, pillaging) have not solved this.

The wicd-daemon package should add a hook for pm-utils to handle this with the file:

/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/55wicd

I'm pretty sure pm-utils gets pulled in by default as part of ubuntu-desktop (via some other things) but if you removed network-manager and/or other gnome parts then perhaps you lost it somewhere along the way. Try:

sudo apt-get install pm-utils

Otherwise, I think you will have to start looking for errors in the log files, starting with:

/var/log/pm-suspend.log
