Apart from message

  NetworkManager-by-dbus.service: No such file or directory

same issue here. The latest update of NetworkManager fails to bring up the network

Comment 2 Joachim Frieben 2010-08-18 09:25:00 UTC
Downgrading package NetworkManager to version 0.8.1-1.fc14 allows to restore network connectivity.

Comment 3 Vaclav "sHINOBI" Misek 2010-08-18 10:43:36 UTC
BTW NetWorkManager can be started through "service NetworkManager start", only systemd integration is broken.

I am also getting this on rawhide: NetworkManager-0.8.1-4.git20100817.fc15.x86_64

Comment 5 Rahul Sundaram 2010-08-19 11:28:57 UTC
Workaround

# systemctl enable NetworkManager.service
# systemctl start NetworkManager.service

Comment 6 Joachim Frieben 2010-08-19 14:48:08 UTC
No problems anymore after upgrading to NetworkManager-0.8.1-5.git20100818.fc14.

Comment 7 atswartz 2010-08-19 15:06:07 UTC
(In reply to comment #5)

This does work.

Comment 8 Vaclav "sHINOBI" Misek 2010-08-19 16:08:22 UTC
NetworkManager-0.8.1-5.git20100818.fc14 fixed the problem for me as well

NetworkManager-0.8.1-5.git20100818.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 13 Stefan Becker 2010-08-25 13:16:34 UTC
Just did a fresh preupgrade from F13 -> F14 and a yum update after that:

NetworkManager-0.8.1-5.git20100818.fc14.i686
NetworkManager-glib-0.8.1-5.git20100818.fc14.i686
NetworkManager-gnome-0.8.1-5.git20100818.fc14.i686
NetworkManager-vpnc-0.8.1-1.fc14.i686
systemd-7-3.fc14.i686
systemd-sysvinit-7-3.fc14.i686

I have the latest NetworkManager package but the problem still exists.

/var/log/messages after boot:

The systemctl workaround works for me too. I still have to test if it fixes the problem permanently, i.e. after a reboot.

Comment 14 Will Woods 2010-08-25 14:35:09 UTC
Just doing a yum update isn't going to cause NetworkManager to magically start up. You'll need to reboot after the update to NetworkManager-0.8.1-5.git20100818.fc14 to actually see the fix.

Comment 15 Stefan Becker 2010-08-25 15:09:05 UTC
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I *did* reboot after "yum update" and still the problem wasn't fixed. Only the manual systemctl commands fixed it for my machine.

Comment 16 Dan Williams 2011-04-20 21:55:33 UTC
Not an issue anymore as f14 didn't ship with systemd, and this issue is not present on F15 where systemd is used.
