That sounds bad. Does any other command work?
Do you see any zombie (<defunct>) process in "ps aux"? Does it hang forever? If you wait, let's say, 2 minutes, does it unblock? I'm asking this because there is one known issue with netplan that can cause some commands to hang when the problem happens (and Network Manager calls netplan). Have you made any changes to your /etc/nsswitch.conf file? I'm asking because setting "systemd" as the first option for "password" and/or "group" is one of the things that triggers the problem. If all the above is OK, I'd suggest trying to boot with a previous kernel version. Maybe a recent kernel update is causing the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2080489 Title: Network Manager stops functioning on Ubuntu 24.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/2080489/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
