Hello, i trying to import profile (PCF file ) of my VPN connection to Network manager (suse 12.3), but error displayed- ‘The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files’. Please help…

Are you able to do this ?

$sudo systemctl status NetworkManager.service
NetworkManager.service - Network Manager
      Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service; disabled)
      Active: active (running) since Sat, 16 Mar 2013 18:54:09 +0530; 36min ago

I get the same error as the OP.

This is my output from the command

NetworkManager.service - Network Manager
          Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service; enabled)
          Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:49:45 +0000; 5 days ago
         Process: 608 ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/test x${NETWORKMANAGER} = xyes (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
          CGroup: name=systemd:/system/NetworkManager.service

@ OP - I have now figured out, that I had to change from ifup to Network Manager in YAST -> Network Devices -> Network Settings -> Global Options.

No, your error is completely different.

I recommend you start a new thread with this error but also including as detailed as you can what you attempted to do, what you expected but what you saw instead and anything you might have tried to fix already.

And, don’t forget to describe what version of openSUSE you are running, the Desktop and anything else about your machine you think might be relevant to your problem.

Without doing any investigation,
The error you’re seeing is because “org.freedesktop.NetworkManager” is a naming convention commonly used in SystemV. I’d ask you where you got your config file, but it’s likely moot.

With 12.3, Network Manager no longer is initiated/managed by SystemV so although init scripts are still supported what you’re doing likely isn’t.

I don’t know if a conversion script exists to import your PCF into the appropriate Unit file, my guess you’ll have to do it manually but shouldn’t be difficult (but am purely guessing). It might be easier to open the PCF and just enter the values into the NM GUI.

HTH,
TSU

Yes please @gilap,

Do not hang new questions/problems on an existing thread. People that maybe can help you will not see it. They will look for new problems to help with in the sub-forum they thinkk they can help in and the will look for a goodtitle that will tell them that maybe they have knowledge about a problem.

Undedrstand that you must make your question know to the world and better, to that part of the world that has knowledge about your problem. You should not hide it somewhere deep where nobody sees it.

Please everybody, do not spoil this thread, but wait for a new thread to be created by gilap.
This will be CLOSED for the moment.

Will be reopened and the posts about the other problem will be removed.

I just solved a user’s report of the same error message for him by noticing that his NetworkManager installation contained different versions of the subpackages. If you see this error message, make sure that all your NetworkManager packages, and libnm* packages, all have the same version number.

This sounds like a networking problem best posted in a new thread in the
networking forum. You might try that rather than tagging onto an
existing thread in an unrelated forum. :slight_smile:
