It appears you are already running NetworkManager, hence this instance
exits.  If that is not the case, there appears to be DBus security
problems.

The Ubuntu maintainers probably need to start an Ubuntu-specific FAQ for
problems users encounter.  There are enough Ubuntu-specific hacks and
oddities (probably given that it's not actually in Ubuntu itself) that
these questions keep coming up, and it takes a lot of time to answer
them.  Why are there so many issues relating to Ubuntu, and not to
Fedora or SUSE?  Is it just better integrated on Fedora and SUSE?
