On my desktop computer I have no use for NetworkManager, so I don't have installed it.

I constantly see this error in the log:

[0327/005143:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(239)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files
[0327/005143:WARNING:proxy_service.cc(646)] PAC support disabled because there is no system implementation

I propose to remove the NetworkManager stuff
OR
detect whether NetworkManager is present and disable usage accordingly

I don't know what is affected by this error, steam works regularly.

Please see #518, NetworkManager isn’t a dependency, this is just a libcef warning.

NetworkManager isn’t a dependency, this is just a libcef warning.

This seems to be wrong, because steamclient.so is linked with libnm-glib.so.4 and libnm-util.so.2, and fails to load without them:

/home/buildbot/buildslave_steam/steam_rel_client_ubuntu12_linux/build/src/steamUI/../common/steam/client_api.cpp (296) : Assertion Failed: ClientAPI_InitGlobalInstance: InternalAPI_Init_Internal failed, most likely because you are missing a 32-bit dependency of steamclient.so (the Steam client is a 32-bit app).

Please reopen this issue. Otherwise I will recreate it.

The current steam client needs those two libraries to link against, but does not need network manager to be running.

@GoLD-ReaVeR you’ll be interested in #3129 then.
