[SOLVED] NetworkManager stopped working...

I'm in these groups:

wheel dbus ntp network audio optical storage users networkmanager

And I have 'networkmanager' daemon started, but NetworkManager applet doesn't detect my network adapter.

It started after updating to 3.6.4, now I have 3.6.5 and the problem persists.

I can connect to internet by stopping networkmanager and starting network daemon and then using "iw connect".

Re: [SOLVED] NetworkManager stopped working...

Are you booting with systemd?

Re: [SOLVED] NetworkManager stopped working...

First of all if you are booting with systemd and fully up to date, remove your user from various groups.
dbus ntp network audio optical storage networkmanager
Then login on a new terminal console (ctr + alt + f3 for example) and check if your session is active with this command.
loginctl
loginctl show-session <number>
You should be able to use networkmanager only with the group users alone then.

Yep, you're not using systemd.

Re: [SOLVED] NetworkManager stopped working...

you better get rid of sysvinit and have your system booting in pure systemd by following instructions in this page : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … stallation
also have a very good look at warnings !!!

I hate systemd daemon configuration...

I like rc.conf, what to do?

EDIT (mistake): Where's the KISS rule?
rc.conf was much simplier.

Re: [SOLVED] NetworkManager stopped working...

the truth is that if you like it or not you must follow the new way
so, IMHO, you must start moving your system to new configuration
it's not so difficult, trust me
all you have to do is to follow given guidelines

Re: [SOLVED] NetworkManager stopped working...

But what's with rc.conf?

Can I use initscripts forever?

Re: [SOLVED] NetworkManager stopped working...

quoted from this page https://www.archlinux.org/news/systemd- … allations/
" For the time being, the initscripts and sysvinit packages remain available from our repositories. "

Sounds like this could be the problem: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … g_vesamenu

Anyway, it's unrelated to the initial topic, and continuing in a solved thread is unproductive (since people will probably not read it any more). You should start a new topic about that - only if the above link doesn't fix it.
