I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to 14.10. Since the upgrade, the Network-Manager service fails to start on boot. I have checked the syslog and noticed the following errors.
nm-dispatcher.action: Script '/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/01ifupdown' exited with error status 1.
NetworkManager[3258]: <warn> Dispatcher script failed: Script '/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/01ifupdown' exited with error status 1.
ntpd_intres[1617]: parent died before we finished, exiting
I am able to start the network if I enter either of the following commands.
sudo service network-manager start
sudo initctl emit static-network up
Based on other forum posts and what I've found myself, the Network-Manager service fails to start because static-network-up fails to start. Based on the file /etc/init/network-manager.conf, there is a condition in the "start on" section that is contingent on static-network-up starting. However, I'm unable to figure out why this service is not starting.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
