As an example add this block for a non-existent network interface to /etc/network/interfaces: auto bogus0 iface bogus0 inet dhcp If you reboot your machine then Network Manager won't be started by Upstart. The issue with Network Manager's Upstart configuration is that it starts on the following condition: start on (local-filesystems and started dbus and static-network-up) This is wrong as the static-network-up event is never emitted in case the ifupdown configuration is (partially) invalid. In order to fix this issue please use the following start on condition: start on (local-filesystems and started dbus and started networking) This is an issue in all currently supported Ubuntu releases. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
