[SOLVED] Network Manager systemd unit fails after update

EDIT: Reinstalling libnm-glib resolved this issue

After updating to the latest version of NetworkManager (networkmanager-0.9.8.10-3), the systemd unit fails to start. It works fine after downgrading back to the previous version though (networkmanager-0.9.8.10-1). I'm not sure if this is a bug or an error on my end; since the previous package works I've just dowgraded for the time being.  For the update that doesn't work, here is the output of "systemctl status" and the systemd journal:

>>sudo systemctl daemon-reload  
>> sudo systemctl status NetworkManager

● NetworkManager.service - Network Manager
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service; enabled)

Re: [SOLVED] Network Manager systemd unit fails after update

I hate to say this, but with the recent systemd/kernel/networkmanager updates, it might be a good idea to reboot (if you haven't already) just to make sure all the pieces are communicating with each other...

Thanks for the reply, thats a good point; I had rebooted earlier, but I updated again and tried rebooting, still have the same issue...

Check the changes:
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … e192881dc5
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … ee906b6c44

When posting configs, code or command output, please use [ code ] tags, not [ quote ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

like this

It makes the code more readable and - in case of longer listings - more convenient to scroll through.

Re: [SOLVED] Network Manager systemd unit fails after update

I have the same issue, with the same outputs.

Downgrading works for me too, all other dependencies are on their latest version.
