Disable Network Manager in Linux Mint

It can be useful to disable the network manager in Linux Mint to manually configure networking within '/etc/network/interfaces' for testing. A quick method is to:

  • Move configuration files

$ sudo mv /etc/init/network-manager.conf /etc/init/network-manager.conf-disabled
$ sudo mv /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop-disabled


  • Restart Linux Mint
  • The networking configuration will be from  '/etc/network/interfaces'
