[SOLVED]Network Manager does not start after update

Hi!

I work now since a half year with my Samsung Series 9 Laptop. Since January I did not made many updates. So I mad a very huge update yesterday. When I started the laptop today, I could not connect to the WLAN any more.
I checked the state of the network manager using "systemctl status networkmanager" and got the following output:

networkmanager.service
	  Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory)
	  Active: inactive (dead)

Mar 13 21:04:05 rzi systemd[1]: Unit networkmanager.service entered failed state

Any Idea what it could be? Some thing is missing...is it the driver or so?

Cheers

What is networkmanager.service? The one shipped with NM is NetworkManager.service. The line "Stopped LEGACY unit for "networkmanager" rc...t" makes me suspicious that it may be coming from rc.conf or something?

I think it's the gnome Network manager... I think installed the system before sytemd or at least made configurations in the rc.conf...

I too was facing the same issue and on running "systemctl start NetworkManager", it said no unit found. Hence I resolved it by creating a networkmanager.service file in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ .

Well that sound reasonable! But what have you put into that file?

Scimmia · 2013-03-15 08:10:49

Doesn't sound reasonable to me. How about figuring out just what you're starting and from where first?

hadrons123 · 2013-03-15 08:58:14

How about trying the output of

 systemctl status NetworkManager.service

raphiz · 2013-03-16 11:16:14

This is the output for systemctl status NetworkManager.service

NetworkManager.service - Network Manager
	  Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service; disabled)
	  Active: inactive (dead)

I started /usr/sbin/NetworkManager manually and it worked. So it seems to be a systemd issue.

hadrons123 · 2013-03-16 11:22:26

I 'm not sure how you came to the conclusion.

I ment it's not an issue with the networkManager itself...

gridcol · 2013-03-16 12:26:33

Mh.. the service is disabled. Enable and start it?
You can see some log information with journalctl.

I created a NetworkManager.service fiel myself. But it seems one can even link /usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service and everything will be fine.

As far as my case was concerned (I landed on this page to find a solution), I was invoking the network manager from rc.conf, while I was under an impression that systemd was responsible for it. Finally, I removed networkmanager from the daemons list at rc.conf and enabled NetworkManager.service with systemctl.

Thank you ALL! The last suggestion actually worked!
