The isssue here is, that after you've run systemctl disable, network-manager.service and NetworkManager.service become disconnected, they are two *different* services now as they aren't linked anymore via the network-manager.service symlink. So, NetworkManager.service points to the native .service file, network-manager.service points to the network-manager.service init script. If you run systemctl disable NetworkManager.service systemctl status network-manager.service you'll get # systemctl status network-manager.service network-manager.service - LSB: network connection manager Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/network-manager) Active: inactive (dead) # systemctl status NetworkManager.service NetworkManager.service - Network Manager Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service; disabled) Active: active (running) since Do 2013-11-28 01:59:37 CET; 21min ago Main PID: 14491 (NetworkManager) So, systemctl stop network-manager.service is simply a no-op and the return code is actually correct. As I wrote, the correct way to deal with such issues is probably to ship those Alias symlinks in the package itself, so they are not removed on systemctl disable NetworkManager.service -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
