I am running Centos 6 inside a vmware on my mac.
I want to use a custom compiled window manager.
I installed xorg-x11-xinit-session and created a ~/.xinitrc starting my WM. Upon log in I choose "User script" as the session and my WM starts as expected. However the network is down and vmware tools is not running.
How do I address this? I have tried using nmcli but all my attempts fail with Error: Connection activation failed: The connection is not for this device. What scripts are Gnome running during start up activates these things?
Thanks in advance!

Re: No network when not running Gnome
I don't believe gnome has anything to do with the network at all. Network connections should be started by the network or NetworkManager services at boot time unless the ifcfg file for the connection has "ONBOOT=no" specified.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Try:
in the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface>
Code: Select all
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
ONBOOT="yes"
