Disabling network-manager for connman

Nope, no need to set connman to default .... if network-manager doesn't come up then connman keeps on running.

Connman is the one that always runs and gets taken over by network-manager. You can check on your system if it's running with:
~ ❯❯❯ sudo service --status-all |grep connman

  • resulting in:

[ + ] connman

Where you should see a + sign if it's loaded
If it isn't running (for some strange reason) you can enable it (permanently) with
"sudo systemctl enable connman.service"

  • To see what it's up to, use:
    "systemctl status connman.service"

To check wether network-manager is indeed turned off:
~ ❯❯❯ sudo service --status-all |grep network

Resulting in:

[ - ] network-manager
[ + ] networking
~ ❯❯❯

And of course, have "connman-gtk" installed for a GUI.
