[SOLVED] NetworkManager fails to start after latest system upgrade

After 'pacman -Syu' today, which upgraded kernel to 4.15.10-1, NetworkManager fails to start:

# systemctl status NetworkManager
● NetworkManager.service - Network Manager
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
  Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service.d

Mar 19 10:21:44 systemd[1]: NetworkManager.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Mar 19 10:21:44 systemd[1]: Failed to start Network Manager.

Have never experienced problem like this with NetworkManager.
Any similar reports or ideas how to proceed?

Same problem here. Thankfully, wifi-menu is working.

EDIT: After update (from a seconds ago) NetworkManager is working properly.

Thank you! networkmanager-1.10.6-2 does indeed seem to fix things.
That's a big relief ...

Re: [SOLVED] NetworkManager fails to start after latest system upgrade

Just a quick note, problem was because of a missing library (libpsl.so.6) wich was in libpsl package a few days ago, but got removed and replaced with libpsl.so.5

Latest NetworkManager version fixes this dependency.

Hello,

I got exactly the same problem, but how can I connect to the network without NetworkManager?

My bad - I didn't know I had wifi-menu installed on my machine. Now everything's fixed.
