When network manager starts up (through systemd), it immediately crashes. When I try to start it at a console, I get this output. # /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon NetworkManager[7032]: <info> NetworkManager (version 0.9.8.2) is starting...

It seems that the same issue is happening to me. I got some success (nm no longer crashing) by removing some config from/etc/Networkmanager and rebuilding the missing parts, but now I have a problem with dhcpcd: NM is no longer able to start it properly. If I run it from command line, it gets the IP but after some time the IP address is removed. Still digging, but something weird has happened also on my system.
I don't have the same issue; but I can tell that there is a regression for me as well, in my case it fails to do dhcpcd so I ended up setting a static IP for now.
I'm getting this error, if this can be useful: NetworkManager[8709]: <info> (enp0s25): device state change: config -> ip-config (reason 'none') [50 70 0] NetworkManager[8709]: client_start: assertion `priv->client_type != 0' failed NetworkManager[8709]: <info> (enp0s25): device state change: ip-config -> failed (reason 'dhcp-start-failed') [70 120 15]
(In reply to Fabio Coatti from comment #3) > NetworkManager[8709]: client_start: assertion `priv->client_type != 0' failed Same here; made a separate bug for that, please post any details to bug #476886 as to not distract from this bug. Thank you in advance.
(In reply to Fabio Coatti from comment #1) > I got some success (nm no longer crashing) by removing some config > from/etc/Networkmanager and rebuilding the missing parts, ... Tassilo: Could you backup your config and try removing / rebuilding it as well? If you get it to no longer crash this way, could you upload your config then?
I've posted details as you suggested in other bug, but the interesting part is that even in my case I've tried to downgrade to previous (non -r1) Networkmanager without success. Maybe something fiddled with /run permissions or something like that?

I have the same problem. With the oldest configuration the networkmanager crash. If I remove all files in /etc/NetowrkManage, nm works. After rebuilding nm it crash with default config files ....

If you get it to no longer crash this way, could you upload your > config then? I've moved /etc/Networkmanager/ to /etc/Networkmanager.old/ and emerged it again. But still I get the segmentation fault, although the output is a little different this time using the default configs. # /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon NetworkManager[26476]: <info> NetworkManager (version 0.9.8.2) is starting...

Ah, and as Zbyněk says: when I delete /etc/NetworkManager and then start it without re-emerging, it won't crash. But then it also doesn't assign an IP to my ethernet card which is probably the dhcpcd issue others mentioned above.

I switched from using dhcpcd to dhclient which solved everything for me.
I also had NetworkManager crash at startup until I patched its configure script to accept dhcpcd-6 (see #476170). Since then, everything is back to normal. Do you have USE=dhcpcd and dhcpcd-6 installed?

Network manager starts without problems with old configuration. The problem is in compatibility with new version of dhcpcd.

It would be great if the patch to make it work with that version could be added to the ebuilds.

Getting NetworkManager to work with dhcpcd is simple: diff -Nur NetworkManager-0.9.8.2.orig/configure.ac NetworkManager-0.9.8.2/configure.ac --- NetworkManager-0.9.8.2.orig/configure.ac 2013-06-07 22:16:35.000000000 +0200 +++ NetworkManager-0.9.8.2/configure.ac 2013-07-15 00:18:04.974866245 +0200 @@ -507,7 +507,7 @@ if test "$with_dhcpcd" = "yes"; then AC_PATH_PROGS(with_dhcpcd, dhcpcd, no, /sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin) if test "$with_dhcpcd" != "no"; then - if ! $with_dhcpcd --version 2>&1 | grep -q "^dhcpcd [[45]]\."; then + if ! $with_dhcpcd --version 2>&1 | grep -q "^dhcpcd [[456]]\."; then AC_MSG_WARN([Cannot use dhcpcd, version 4.x or 5.x is required]) with_dhcpcd=no fi However, someone should fix the real problem: If no suitable version of dhcpcd is found, NetworkManager's configure falls back to nonexistent(!) dhclient even if dhcpcd was requested explicitly. In that case it might be better to error out instead of compiling and installing a broken version. And even worse: After that it seems that NetworkManager can not handle the missing dhclient and crashes with a segmentation fault. Very bad!

FWIW, adding the 6 to the check makes NetworkManager work again. It also successfully obtains IPs for my network devices, so it seems to work just fine also with dhcpcd version 6.
