I want to always use NetworkManager instead of Wicked. Can I do this from the command line?
Running sudo yast lan help shows that the YaST lan module doesn't appear to support this from the command line.
I'm hoping whatever YaST is doing behind the scenes, I can replicate in bash. I'm on openSUSE 13.2.
You want to disable wicked for the next boot. This also disables related services.
systemctl disable wicked
You want to get NetworkManager started at boot time.
systemctl enable NetworkManager
The best way is to restart the system now so that you see whether the boot sequence works as expected. You may try to start/stop the services if you want to continue working and reboot and check later.
More details can be learned by examining the service files.
Why would you need that? I would recommend to mask the wicked service and rely on NetworkManager:
systemctl mask wicked
systemctl mask wickedd
Then, enable NetworkManager
systemctl start NetworkManager
yast lanis to say if you want to use ifup or network manager. It's a little tui; however, from what it sounds likenetworkmanager(8)should be your best bet.
