"systemctl preset-all" is intended to return service states to a factory state based on presets. But currently we can see breakages in some products due to services that are not following the guidelines as described in
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE: Systemd_packaging_guidelines#Enabling_systemd_unit_files
Does this support condition check? We need to enable NetworkManager under certain circumstances. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

This results in 'fun' issues as seen in https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/1087298#step/yast2_lan/13
systemctl is-active NetworkManager claims NM is an enabled service. AS can be seen in the 'first_boot' test of this test run, NM is indeed enabled (see the nm-applet in the tray) - but YaST is not aware that networking was switched to NEtworkManager and does expect to be able to configure wicked (which is also running)
According to y2log, network.service became the alias of wicked.service instead of NetworkManager.service. So wicked thought NetworkManager is not running. Looking into it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Looks like the systemd preset "conflicts" with Yast. Yast has a set of rules to determine which network service to use(desktop environment makes a defference).
It really conflicts with YaST?, I mean, each backend should conflict with each other, that is, both should not be running at the same time. YaST could show a warning and could ask the user if wanted to disable the service that is not linked to network.service...
So maybe the systemd preset won't make any sense in such a scenario, or something (stopping and disabling NM if it's running)should be done if we want to use the systemd preset.

A bit explaination about this bug, with systemd presets, NetworkManager is enabled all the time. In a tumbleweed with xfce as the desktop environment, NetworkManager and wicked are both installed. And when users open yast network, no dialog pops up saying that network is controlled by NetworkManager. I meant the way systemd preset enables NetworkManager conflicts with how yast network module choose to enable which service(wicked or NetworkManager). And sure, they should conflict with each other. But there should be a central place to manage this. I'm thinking about either 1. Not implementing the systemd preset for NetworkManager at all. 2. yast network module should disable NetworkManager and start wicked at certain circumstances, for example in xfce, wicked is preferred as the network manager. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

As Knut said in comment #7, we at YaST team only can take care about
show a warning and could ask the user if wanted to disable the service that is not linked to network.service
I linked our Trello card for this purpose. Thanks! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Is it possible to disable NetworkManager when NM is not supposed to be used? The systemd preset simply enables NM by default in all circumstances. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
