[SOLVED] Nework Manager Fails to Run

[jtsmith73]

Not sure what happened, but my laptop (Dell Studio XPS 1340) experienced a glitch which ultimately took out the network manager. How do I re-enable/re-initialize the network manager short of a software reinstall?

Thanks in advance,

Jimbo

You're probably better off without and many people just delete it. Check out Detonate's FAQ here:

I recently heard of a bug that the network-manager is being disabled when resuming from hibernation. Is this what happened? If so, I will try to find the info and post the fix.

Yes, it was recovering from hibernation.

The bug report is here.

So examine the contents of /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state and if it shows NetworkingEnabled=false edit the file to read NetworkingEnabled=true.

kdesudo kate /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state

sudo start networking

It may be that this is not a permanent fix, and the problem may reoccur the next time you go to hibernation. To avoid this problem remove network manager by following my instructions that Ole Jule posted the link to.
