Public bug reported: Version: 1.10.6-2ubuntu1 Ubuntu release: 18.04
I've just had a fun few minutes wondering why I couldn't disable NM using "systemctl disable network-manager.service". Looks like the real unit file is NetworkManager.service, and the former is a symlink. Per systemd.unit(5), "unit files may specify aliases through the Alias= directive in the [Install] section" which allows the aliases to be used in systemctl disable etc. - so this might be a cleaner approach and would presumably solve the problem of lusers like me guessing unit names .. ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1782033 Title: "Alias=" missing from NetworkManager.service Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Version: 1.10.6-2ubuntu1 Ubuntu release: 18.04 I've just had a fun few minutes wondering why I couldn't disable NM using "systemctl disable network-manager.service".
