Error: failed to reload connections: NetworkManager is not running.

I have NetworkManger installed (as a roundabout dependency of cinnamon-screensaver), but at the moment I use systemd-networkd to manage network connections. vopono exec fails:

$ vopono exec --provider PrivateInternetAccess --server us_new_york true

Error: Failed to reload NetworkManager configuration

Caused by:
    Command failed: nmcli connection reload

It would be convenient if vopono checked the result of nmcli general status (which exits with status 8 if NetworkManager is not running) before trying to communicate with it.

Thanks, I'll also change it to be a warning.

FWIW atm it checks for the existence of the config directory, so you could remove that for now if you aren't using it.

Should be fixed in #101

Closing as this should be fixed, please re-open if it is still present in 0.8.7.
