Using openSuse 12.1 with Gnome and NetworkManager. I have to run root '/usr/sbin/NetworkManager' to start it. Is there a way to get it to automatically connect at boot?
Note: Forwarding request to 'systemctl is-enabled kexec.service'.

Looks like it's on. Don't tell me I've been running the command line for a month when I didn't need to???
If chkconfig doesn't work
(chkconfig NetworkManager --level 35 on)
and systemctl also doesn't work
systemctl enable NetworkManager.service
try to setup configuration files manualy
1. using systemd make the link:
ln -s /lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/NetworkManager.service
2.using sysv, make links
ln -s /etc/rc.d/NetworkManager /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S23NetworkManager
ln -s /etc/rc.d/NetworkManager /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S23NetworkManager
(there are missing stop service links, even it doesn't mind)
This never happened before. I can't copy the results from the terminal. But they say>'/var/log/boot.log-no> such file or directory', '/var/log/messages'> permission denied. I've seen no messages from NM.
Do you use SELinux? Type 'id -Z', if you see something like 'unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023', the SELinux is enabled.
Try to disable SELinux '/etc/selinux/config'
line:
SELINUX=disabled
# intead of enforcing
You have to reboot to switch SELinux enable/disable
If that matter is because of SELinux wrong policy, you have access to /var/log/messages and /var/log/boot.log now and probably it could fix NM problem.
Well, finally I cannot say if it will be working. Your problem is very unusual.
Gnome NetworkManager is a graphical program and therefore can't be started before X is running, IIRC. Add it to the autostart list of your GUI environment.
