I already tried:

  1. Commenting out exec NetworkManager in /etc/init/network-manager.conf.
  2. echo "manual" | sudo tee /etc/init/network-manager.override

However, ps aux | grep NetworkManager always shows that it is running after doing the above and rebooting.

Is my only option here to uninstall NetworkManager?

  • It's unfortunate that the only way to disable it is to completely remove it ... – Gabe Mar 16 '16 at 23:01

I found this bug report with information on disabling it - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/82335 Post #19

Could you uninstall NetworkManager and use apt-get download network-manager to download only? (In case you need it later, you could install while offline) This would download to the current directory, so you may want to move it.

Also, what problem are you having that you need to disable it?
