[SOLVED] Cannot config networkmanager on gnome-shell

Hallo.
I'm new on Archlinux and systemd init.
I was Debian user and it's time to learn another linux os.

I installed gnome-shell for desktop and when I choose to configure my network, (the network icon is not showed), from the control center, a popup window opens with the message 'The system network services are not compatible with this version'.
Well, the dhcpcd.service it active.

I don't understand the difference between *.service and *.target on systemd.

As for the nm-connection-editor, the entries are blank and when I add a new preset, I cannot find my ethernet card.

Any advice???

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot config networkmanager on gnome-shell

# systemctl stop dhcpcd.service
# systemctl disable dhcpcd.service
# systemctl start NetworkManager.service
# systemctl enable NetworkManager.service

Maybe?

Also, read man systemd...

># systemctl start NetworkManager.service
Worked with this comand. I tryied using <tab> key to auto complete and it didn't complete the NetworkManager.service. So I added it manually...

Thank you very much

Unless you `enable` it, the service won't start on the next boot and you will have to `start` it every time.
