Your log files indicate that NetworkManager is running when you boot your system. You cannot use wicd and NetworkManager at the same time, they both provide the same type of service. Disable NetworkManager or remove it from your system, then explicitly enable the wicd service.
There was some thing wrong because I had disabled it by systemctl disable NetworkManager.service right now I just formatted my laptop.
