NetworkManager does not start / fails to start and they say it's not a bug (#1489154)

  • 772

After rebooting, NetworkManager all of the sudden has stopped working. Its icon appeared in the tray, then disappeared, then appeared again and so on 3-4 times.

All my config files are correct, I simply haven't changed anything.

I found this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1489154

However, it seems overcomplicated.

I have internet connection now, though, via wpa_supplicant.

So what do I do to fix it?

  1. Is that your bug ? If so read the bug report

    Please refer to comments #8 and #11. This is not a bug and has been closed.

    The really mean comment #7 which give a detailed description of why this is "not a bug" and what to do to resolve the problem.

    This isn't a bug -- we're blocking packages in wily-proposed specifically because they can be slightly broken, and the tests that failed and currently block promotion of the package are meant to do just that -- block things that may be a little buggy. From there, partial upgrades make things even worse, since you may be missing important part of underlying libraries.

    and later ...

    sudo apt-get install network-manager=0.9.10.0-4ubuntu23 \
    libnm0=0.9.10.0-4ubuntu23 libnm-glib4=0.9.10.0-4ubuntu23 \
    libnm-util2=0.9.10.0-4ubuntu23 \
    gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0=0.9.10.0-4ubuntu23

    so, run 

    sudo apt-get install network-manager=0.9.10.0-4ubuntu23 \
    libnm0=0.9.10.0-4ubuntu23 libnm-glib4=0.9.10.0-4ubuntu23 \
    libnm-util2=0.9.10.0-4ubuntu23 \
    gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0=0.9.10.0-4ubuntu23

    If that does not fix your problem or that is not your bug you are barking up the wrong tree and we need more information.
