Error while bringing up eth1

Question

I'm getting this error while bringing up my network card:

(process:2550): WARNING **: _nm_object_get_property: Error getting 'State' for /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/3: (19) Method "Get" with signature "ss" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist

I'm using the following commands:

1. ifup eth1
2. /etc/init.d/network restart

I have installed a fresh copy of Centos 6.2 and configured the network card.

Solution

Add NM_CONTROLLED=no to your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 file.

The error message refers to NetworkManager while the commands you use are the older plain network service commands. Are you using the NetworkManager service or the plain network service? check /sbin/chkconfig --list network and /sbin/chkconfig --list NetworkManager. Also please add what user account is used to execute these commands.

Please post the contents of /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

mhay, note there's a difference beween nm_CONTROLLED="no" and NM_CONTROLLED="no". Only the latter will work, while you say you've done the former. If you do ever revisit SF, please post the contents of the files, as dotplus requests, above.

The OP is pretty clear that he's not trying to use NetworkManager to manage this interface at all, so that's probably not it.
