Public bug reported: after awake from sleep(open my lenovo laptop lid) network manager shows - it is connected to one of wi-fi's networks (not mine) - switching on\off wifi, networking service doesn't help.
Here is workaround: ps -Af | grep -i networkmanager (write down the pid) sudo kill pid sudo /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon It happens time to time when awake after sleep ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: network-manager 1.2.2-0ubuntu0.16.04.3 Uname: Linux 4.4.23-040423-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.5 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu Feb 23 11:57:58 2017 IfupdownConfig: # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) auto lo iface lo inet loopback InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-12-17 (433 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Beta amd64 (20150805) IpRoute: default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0 proto static metric 600 169.254.0.0/16 dev wlan0 scope link metric 1000 192.168.1.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.65 metric 600 NetworkManager.state: [main] NetworkingEnabled=true WirelessEnabled=true WWANEnabled=true WimaxEnabled=true RfKill: 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no SourcePackage: network-manager UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to xenial on 2016-08-17 (189 days ago) nmcli-dev: DEVICE TYPE STATE DBUS-PATH CONNECTION CON-UUID CON-PATH wlan0 wifi connected /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/0 beeline-198 242d5038-e875-4c07-b0ec-ba6fc4470e24 /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/0 eth0 ethernet unavailable /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/1 -- -- -- lo loopback unmanaged /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/2 -- -- -- nmcli-nm: RUNNING VERSION STATE STARTUP CONNECTIVITY NETWORKING WIFI-HW WIFI WWAN-HW WWAN running 1.2.2 connected started full enabled enabled enabled enabled enabled ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1667247 Title: NetworkManager stops working until re-run To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1667247/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
