restart network-manager

Question

I followed the steps provided in this answer. However, one of the steps is to restart the network manager:

sudo restart network-manager

If I try this I will get the following error message:

$ sudo restart network-manager
restart: Verbindung zu Upstart nicht möglich: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Verbindungsaufbau abgelehnt

[English version below]

$ sudo restart network-manager
restart: Connection to Upstart impossible: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused

How do I restart the network manager?

English, please. Do sudo LANG=C restart network-manager. – muru Sep 18 '15 at 15:33 — muru, Sep 18 '15 at 15:33
@muru It looks like not 15.04 with systemd. – Pilot6 Sep 18 '15 at 15:39 — Pilot6, Sep 18 '15 at 15:39

You can restart it by

sudo service network-manager restart

Which will in turn call the initctl command, for which restart is an alias. – muru Sep 18 '15 at 15:34
does reboot necessary or not here? – Ravan Sep 18 '15 at 15:38
No, not necessary. – Pilot6 Sep 18 '15 at 15:38

there is a bug when restarting NM: Network Manager and/or nm-applet forgets its Wired connection and recreates a new connection on each restart

so if you tweak your Ethernet for example set IPv6 to Ignore or modified WoL settings MTU settings etc- you will have to do that again !
