Update version of network manager

Question

In shell on sever I see following error after launching several commands:

Error: nmcli (1.0.0) and NetworkManager (0.9.9.1) versions don't match. Force execution using --nocheck, but the results are unpredictable

I've found that there are newer versions of NetworkManager. How can I update it?

I've tried yum update NetworkManager with no success

I use CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core)

Solution

I was running into the same issue. Apparently even though NetworkManager had been updated, the version that was still loaded in memory and running was older. Try restarting the service:

sudo service NetworkManager restart

to verify it works test the following command:

sudo nmcli -p g

You should see the NetworkManager status, instead of the pesky "versions don't match" error.
