What is the best way to prevent network-manager (and modem-manager for that matter) from starting?

  • sudo apt-get remove network-manager is not an alternative? – edwin Sep 04 '13 at 15:47
  • Do you plan to use ifupdown then? What are you trying to accomplish? – Braiam Sep 04 '13 at 16:04
  • I want to test starting a ppp session over a G3 broadband modem that eventually will run on an embedded system (which won't have network-manager, but isn't available yet). My test machine DOES have network-manager enabled and it will spawn modemmanager which grabs the modem right away, and hence my ppp chat scripts can't access it. Even if I stop network-manager and kill modemmanager, the modem (/dev/ttyUSB2) somehow doesn't get released. I just found out that simply moving network-manager.conf out of /etc/init will do the trick. – Paul Claessen Sep 05 '13 at 18:56

Just found out that removing /etc/init/network-manager.conf does the trick.
