Manually configuring /etc/network/interfaces and then upgrade libnm-util2:amd64 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu7.2 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu7.3 upgrade libnm-glib4:amd64 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu7.2 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu7.3 upgrade network-manager:amd64 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu7.2 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu7.3 And NetworkManager runs without crashing, and nm-applet runs without crashing, but only shows in the system tray before disappearing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to libnl3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1581535 Title: libnl upgrade breaks Network Manager Status in libnl3 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in libnl3 source package in Trusty: Confirmed Bug description: I appear to have been hit by a regression problem in the libnl update described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnl3/+bug/1511735 After running a regular software update this morning and rebooting, I've completely lost networking access. Network Manager is down. I'm running Trusty 14.04. I tried this workaround: http://askubuntu.com/questions/727127/last-upgrade-crashes-network- manager-no-internet-connection-no-applet ... and step 1 didn't work.
