a way to safely remove Network Manager

[clearski]

Hello, everyone.

I'm looking for a way to safely remove Network Manager. I've already disabled it and the network is running fine.

I am not sure if

sudo apt-get remove network-manager network-manager-gnome network-manager-pptp network-manager-pptp-gnome

is safe for the system and won't cause any problems.

Thank you.

Looks good to me. You might also remove all the configurations files with:

sudo apt-get remove --purge network-manager network-manager-gnome network-manager-pptp network-manager-pptp-gnome

How are you connecting without NM? Are you sure it's not running?

ps aux | grep etwork

That did it really well. I had to manually delete the directory /etc/NetworkManager, but that was all.

I had /etc/network/interfaces configured, including a DHCP server and DNS resolver. I also made a backup and some tests before.

It was nice to use Network Manager, it worked very well since I installed Ubuntu, but there's more fun without it.

ps aux |grep etwork

Thank you!
