Public bug reported: NetworkManager will fail on boot, and will leave me with a screen that says "Oops, something has gone wrong. Please contact your software vendor"
"NetworkManager needs to be running" and a sad face picture. This has happened increasingly over the past month or two, and all I have done different is update my system periodically. If I try and start NetworkManager through systemctl, it will get stuck and provide absolutely no output at all. I have to do a complete reboot and hope to God it doesn't fail again. I cannot do anything Wi-Fi wise, so if my Ethernet fails, I cannot switch to Wi-Fi or anything because I have no manager to do it with.
