So I’m a new linux/manjaro user, just installed xfce a day ago and when I was just finished downloading some stuff for mutt-wizard I shut it down and now booted it up the next day and now it says that Network Manager is not running
When I reboot, for a few seconds it says [FAILED] Failed to start Network Manager
I use ethernet to connect to the internet
Hi @manjajoe,
You can open a terminal and try:
sudo systemctl start NetworkManager
to see the error and paste here.
In this post you can see how to provide us more information:
When I typed it in the terminal and put in my password it said:
Job for NetworkManager.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See “systemctl status NetworkManager.service” and “journalctl -xeu NetworkManager.service” for details
P.S, I use an Asus x453ma and I tried fixing the issue with this video but it didn’t work
The video is called “How to Fix network manager needs to be running or Oops,something has gone wrong rhca /centos 8”
is enough - no sudo needed
You’ll be prompted for the password …
and?
What did those commands reveal?
also, please read the post @Arrababiski linked to and act accordingly 
Hey Nachlese,
Can I ask, is there a way to input photo’s onto here? I’m not sure how to copy paste the information cause I have Manjaro on another Laptop and Windows in this one
P.S The laptop with Manjaro is the x453ma
no photos, please - those commands suggested will produce text output which is easy to copy/paste.
Photos cannot be parsed for the information in them.
New users can’t post those anyway - use a hosting service and give the link to it here, if you really must do it.
Hi Nachlese,
Do you have a suggestion for one? I’m not really familar with a service that you’ve suggested
I’m pretty sure that all that info is contained in the link above - try reading it
And, btw, the “posting pictures” option is the least favorable and least useful one - and equally as hard (or easy) than to post text output.
Alright, thanks!
I’ll do it in a few days since I have some exams, but I will reply when I figured out how to do it!
You can also try:
sudo /usr/bin/NetworkManager --no-daemon
in Terminal Mode and paste the output.
Take a look at the .conf file and verify there’s nothing wrong inside It.
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
If it was working fine before, then undo what you did before it stopped working. That will usually solve the issue.
For the first one it said:
NetworkManager. service
