Activation via systemd failed for unit'dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkMan

Folks I`m new to systemd but things are working great so far. I`m not sure where should I post this so please feel free to move me arund to the most ptoper place. While checking my logs on systemd I have mane messages as this:
Activation via systemd failed for unit 'dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service': Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service failed to load

I`ve did some googleing and realized more people had this problem:
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs … 04670.html
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=766164
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs … 04701.html

Is this a bug or just a minor annoyance?

Regards folks!

Keep the nice work!

Re: Activation via systemd failed for unit'dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkMan

Hi,
I'm having the same issue:

everytime I restart linux I get several time the same error:

Oct 20 16:36:26 localhost dbus[408]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.NetworkManager' (using servicehelper)
Oct 20 16:36:26 localhost dbus[408]: [system] Activated service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager' failed: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1

I've googled several times, but I've never found a solution to it, can anyone point us on the right direction?

try this: ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworManager.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service

It seems like NetworkManager.service was not running for me.
Maybe it is mandatory when gnome-networkmanager-applet is installed (which is the case for me)...

Yes it worked, but now NetworkManager is overriding my /etc/network.d/ configuration
