Disabling and stopping is enough, there's no need to fully mask the service; i.e.: # systemctl disable NetworkManager # systemctl stop NetworkManager # /other/prefix/NetworkManager --debug Beware, though, doing this works as long as the dbus files are the same in the system-installed and custom-compiled version. -- Aleksander https://aleksander.es _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
