I'm following these instructions and got as far as the command sudo stop network-manager where I received the output stop: Unable to connect to Upstart. According to this post I should use the command sudo systemct1 stop network-manager but I get the output sudo: systemct1: command not found. I tried to update systemd but it's already the latest. How do I stop Network Manager from the Terminal?
Running Ubuntu 15.10
type the following:
sudo service NetworkManager stop
or
sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager
sudo service network-manager stop. Please check: ls /etc/init.d.

Disabling NetworkManager
According to this bug here's how to disable Network Manager without uninstalling it:
sudo stop network-manager
Create an override file for the upstart job:
echo "manual" | sudo tee /etc/init/network-manager.override
However I have no issues stoping it with:
sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager
systemctland not systemsc1. The last letter is a small L, and not the digit one. Use copy/paste instead of typing. – mikewhatever Mar 17 '16 at 00:03
