And it gets stuck there, because (I think) I currently do not run NM. When I try to run NM manually: # service NetworkManager start Setting network parameters... [ OK ] Starting NetworkManager daemon: [ OK ] # ps -ef | grep NetworkManager root 8763 8657 0 12:52 pts/1 00:00:00 grep NetworkManager So, it will not run. No idea what's making it exit. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
