I just updated ubuntu 14.04 on 01-30-16 and now my netwoking is not working. If I go to settings and try to open networking, I get the message "the system network services are not compatible with this version". Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to reinstall if I don't have to.

  • Thanks to everyone for the kind replies. Unfotunately, I didn't see them and impatiently upgraded to 15.04. I do not recommend doing this as I lost all the software I had installed over the last 5 years. My fault. I just got impatient. Thanks again to everyone. – Mark Jackson Jan 30 '16 at 22:00
  • I understand the frustration and desire to upgrade immediately to solve the problem, but why 15.04? That goes end of life on Feb 6! – Charles Green Jan 30 '16 at 22:08
  • It was just the closest to what I had that I could readily find. Thought it might be the smoothest. Gotta work on that impatience thing. I thought maybe I wouldn't lose as much too. Hey, live and learn. – Mark Jackson Jan 30 '16 at 22:16

Try following this method:

  1. Open up the terminal and type in:

    sudo service network-manager stop

  2. Then do:

    sudo service network-manager start

This fixed the problem for me. Hope this works for you too :)
