Description of problem: I have some troubles using NetworkManager, so I need to stop it - just stop it, not to disable it completely. This deosn't work, systemd keeps starting it again and again and again ... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-197-1.fc18.1.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. service NetworkManager stop 2. wait a few (tenths of) seconds 3. service NetworkManager status Actual results: NM is running Expected results: NM is not running Additional info:
Presumably a DBus client of NM causes its reactivation. Does it help if you disable just the DBus activation of NM?: rm /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service systemctl daemon-reload
