Package: network-manager Version: 1.0.2-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have network-manager installed. My box has one wired network connection that has static address in /etc/network/interfaces and to my understanding it is not managed by network-manager but instead ifupdown-scripts or something that is run from init-scripts. My /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf looks like [main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile [ifupdown] managed=false after todays upgrade 1.0.0-5 -> 1.0.2-2 some gnome-related programs (evolution, in particular) started to report that the network of the machine is in "offline state" and refused to do anything over network. In practice this renders evolution useless. In /var/log/messages there is lines that might be related: May 12 21:31:41 fisuvaan gnome-session[5987]: Gjs-Message: JS LOG: Removing a network device that was not added ...

Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. and in /var/log/daemon.log it is said: May 13 22:34:09 fisuvaan NetworkManager[1361]: <info> Loaded device plugin: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/NetworkManager/libnm-device-plugin-wifi.so May 13 22:34:09 fisuvaan systemd[1]: Started Enable support for additional executable binary formats.
