Hi, How do I properly disable NetworkManager so applications don't think my wired network is offline? I'm using a network bridge for kvm, and it's always been easier to use the old style networking. I've run the following commands to disable it and enable regular network services: systemctl stop NetworkManager.service systemctl disable NetworkManager.service systemctl enable network.service systemctl start network.service My network is then functional, but Evolution and sometimes Firefox complain the network is stopped yet still enabled. If I disable it with systemctl entirely, Xorg crashes with the following: Nov 28 15:14:08 sage dbus[772]: [system] Activation via systemd failed for unit 'dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service': Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl st atus dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service' for details. It then produces hundreds of directories with crash info in /var/spool/abrt/. Any ideas of how to properly disable NetworkManager so applications don't stop working?
