“NetworkManager is not running”- error. After manually upgrading nmcli to 1.0.6 on ubuntu 12.04

I need to use the new version of NetworkManager on ubuntu 12.04. I've installed NetworkManager-1.0.6 from source code, from gnome Projects web site (And allot of it's dependencies).

After installation,

I tried to run:

$ nmcli connection
Error: NetworkManager is not running.

then I tried:

$ service network-manager start
start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call",
sender=":1.156" (uid=1000 pid=9473 comm="start network-manager ") 
interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="
(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 
pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")

$ service network-manager status
network-manager stop/waiting

As root it appears that the network-manager start running but it's still stays in the same status:

$ sudo service network-manager start
network-manager start/running, process 9975

$ sudo service network-manager status
network-manager stop/waiting

What can I check ? How can I make it work ? Should I install/update the network-manager in a different way?

Solution 1:

Open your terminal, type:

sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager start
