Hello,

I recently installed gcc10 and also cmake 3.16.
After this I rebooted and since then I get "NetworkManager is not running" when I over the Network manager icon.

I have done the following: sudo service networking start

I get: [ ok ]Configuring network interfaces in background... done.

And that when I hover the Network Manager icon I get: Networking disable.

I've tried googling for this but I only find WIFI related stuf.
How can I fix this? Before this big update I did do get gcc10 everything was working fine.

I presume you did a absolutely huge "update" from bullseye.

it more than likely broke some things in sysVinit when you did.

it is very possible the init script has been disabled. you can try

Code: Select all

sudo update-rc.d network-manager defaults

and see if that fixes anything. it won't if the /etc/NetworkManager script is missing.

other wise you can try putting

Code: Select all

/sbin/NetworkManager

in your /etc/rc.local file.

issues like this are why we don't support direct updates between major debian releases.

YES!!
Running /sbin/NetworkManager worked.
I did get an error when I tried running: sudo update-rc.d network-manager defaults
I got: update-rc.d: error: initscript does not exist: /etc/init.d/network-manager <-- is this bad?

it means you have the bullseye edition of network-manager. They removed the init script in bullseye. I actually wondered if an update would remove the script or not, it shouldn't have, but I guess their update is aggressive.

they aren't done either. I found that many init scripts get disabled out right in debian bullseye because they have neutered an app called "start-stop-daemon" that a lot of init scripts used.

everything will probably work if you switch to systemd booting. probably.

I didn't know I switched anything.
How can I switch to that?

it probably happened when you installed gcc10.

updating one of the core components of debian linux is not for the faint of heart.

Code: Select all

apt-history

will show what all got updated.

This is what I get when I try that out:

root@mx:~# apt-history
bash: apt-history: command not found
root@mx:~# apt history
E: Invalid operation history
root@mx:~#

oh, right, debian removes python2, so apt-notifier (the parent package for apt-history) is probably gone too.... its in the middle of being updated for python3 now, but its not available yet.

you can try opening /var/log/apt/history.log in a text editor.

**edit* good info here are package update logs. https://www.linuxuprising.com/2019/01/h ... alled.html

So is the final solution to fix this issue to add "/sbin/NetworkManager" to "/etc/rc.local"

I don't know how to switch to systemd booting.

Posted: **Fri Feb 19, 2021 4:14 pm**

for now, yes.

just warning you that with all those upgrades from bullseye, you now have a Frankenstein of an install. not saying it won't work for you, just expect problems installing apps from time to time, mostly due to conflicting support libraries. I happened to be working on the Network Manager already, so you got lucky there.

Posted: **Fri Feb 19, 2021 4:24 pm**

Ok, so are you saying I should just reinstall mx linux?
The thing is, I installed Linux on this machine because I wanted to try out some C++ projects that only run on Linux and that is why I needed gcc 10 (the project demands it).

What is the best option for me?
- Should I go with another distro?
- Should I reinstall and get gcc10 (and other tools) another way? (without breaking anything)
- Should I give up on linux all together and just stick with windows?
- Should I consult an oracle before I try to install anything as it seems linux (maybe this distro) breaks easy

Posted: **Fri Feb 19, 2021 4:28 pm**

if you need gcc10, you would be better off choosing a OS that has it already. debian bullseye, probably ubuntu, I would guess manjaro would all be OK. (not sure about ubuntu, might be gcc9).

linux doesn't break easy if you don't go adding repos that conflict with the distro.

Consult and oracle? You just had THE dolphin_oracle help you.

I would start by learning HOW TO use MX a bit, you may find that it has most of what you need without going to great lengths.

MX Linux is based on Debian Stable, therefore it is and can be behind a bit like with gcc.

MX Linux (and Linux in general) does not break easily, unless you count easily as throwing it off the top of a sky scraper without a parachute.

If you have a question just ask before blindly following online tutorials or just randomly doing things. This goes for any Linux distro.

cmake 3.16.3 is in the MX Package Installer under the MX Test Repo tab and the Debian Backports. Using this route may have saved you some trouble.

We have gcc 9 in an experimental repo, haven't used or tested it myself. gcc-10 won't come MX-19 safely (99.99% certain on this).

If you want a bleeding edge distro there are plenty out there. Fedora and Manjaro are two decent ones to look at.
You could go further and also have more fun by trying Arch, Gentoo/Funtoo out.

I had a corrupt installation of Network manager.
The internet wouldn't work at all but I managed to force the network card to work with this command:

Code: Select all

sudo dhclient eth0

Then you need to delete the broken network manager installation using synaptic. or try this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove --purge network-manager*
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Once the broken files have been removed and you are ready to reinstall network manager, install aptitude in the termina. This program will try to resolve installation issuesl:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install aptitude

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude install network-manager

After all this, my Network manager icon on the system tray was missing and I reinstalled from here:
https://packages.debian.org/buster/nm-tray

Installed mx21 last night, when I rebooted, everything was working until I stupidly by habit clicked on update manager to install all uploads (noooo). Once finished, no internet access, today I tried tried this below and it worked!!!

So is the final solution to fix this issue to add "/sbin/NetworkManager" to "/etc/rc.local"

Thanks dolphin_oracle,

saved me any further panic.

BTW - you guys are doing an awesome job, love MX - been using about a year now, would swap it for anything else

After upgrading from Mx Linux 19.4 to Mx Linux 21, I did not run the sudo apt get install network-manager-sysvinit-compat command, so the network manager is not running. I downloaded it from here. http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo/pool/main/n/n ... it-compat/ My question is can I manually install the downloaded package with dpkg instead of apt-get install?

The thread is really old, but it just got in front of my eyes. :) Of course, I did the upgrade from 19.4 to 21 based on the Debian Way, and although I read the migration information, I didn't pay attention to everything and did not install the correct network manager. :) In this regard, let me ask why is mxlinux 21 using sysvinit instead of systemd?

You know, you can boot with systemd ("Advanced Options" in Grub) furthermore, can make it default ( Menu => "MX Boot Options" : "Boot to" ). Shortly, MX prefers SysV for this or that reason but doesn't force anyone to use this or that :)

I remember when the introduction of systemd met with resistance from the community. Since I use multiple systems in parallel, for testing purposes, I don't use MX Linux Grub, so I can't configure it to start with systemd. :) I just find it interesting that MX Linux has migrated from systemd to Sysvinit by default.

I have two questions. I guess network-manager-sysvinit-compat doesn't work under sytemd, and I think I should have remembered first not to install this csysvinit network manager if I want to use systemd? What do I lose by continuing to use sysvinit instead of systemd?

network-manager-sysvinit-compat doens't do anything under systemd. it exits without action, because network-manager already provides a systemd service file for startup.

the live system is designed to be used under sysvinit. snapshot and the installer will still work, but certain activities like semi-automatic persistence file saving and a few other odds and ends on the live system will not. but on an installed system, you don't lose anything.

and if you leave sysvinit installed, the live snapshots will use sysvinit automatically.

Thank you so it's understandable. After all, what is the reason that Mx Linux, unlike Debian, prefers sysvinit by default?

some of us are old farts that like sysVinit.

but mostly the live-usb system works just better with sysvinit.

After making the desired changes, I typed the string containing systemd after the existing kernel parameter, and interestingly, I got to the emergency shell after the next boot. Then, of course, I edited the grub.cfg file with nano and deleted the string containing systemd at the appropriate places in the file. I then started the other distro with my own grub (Kubuntu), logged in, issued a sudo update-grub command, rebooted, and then was able to log in to MX Linux normally. What could have caused this?

PS.
If I made the desired changes to the / etc / default / grub file and then ran a sudo update-grub command, the next boot was successful. I checked the contents of the / etc / default / grub file and the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line was missing the] init = / lib / systemd / systemd string I typed earlier. However, a grub.bak file was created. So it looks like the system didn't allow me to save the changes, even though I made them as root. . This is a different problem from the previous one, I just supplemented what I described earlier.

I agree. Nor did I applaud my joy when systemd was introduced as an old adult warrior on Debian. :)

The internet wouldn't work at all but I managed to force the network card to work with this command:
Code: Select all
sudo dhclient eth0
Then you need to delete the broken network manager installation using synaptic. or try this:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get remove --purge network-manager*
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Once the broken files have been removed and you are ready to reinstall network manager, install aptitude in the termina. This program will try to resolve installation issuesl:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install aptitude
Code: Select all
sudo aptitude install network-manager
After all this, my Network manager icon on the system tray was missing and I reinstalled from here:
https://packages.debian.org/buster/nm-tray

how do you install the last link about the icon in the tray. also thank You for the help I’m new at this
