Fixed unmanaged ethernet connection in Ubuntu 20.10
Raw
fix_ethernet.md

Scenario

  • In Ubuntu the Ethernet connection was shown as unmanaged wired connection.
  • This happened after using sudo pppoeconf to configure a pppoeconfiguration.

Solution

  • Open /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf with sudo previlege:
sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
  • Change the line managed=false to managed=true
  • Restart network manager with
sudo service network-manager restart
  • I got the following error:
Failed to restart network-manager.service: Unit network-manager.service not found.
  • Started and enabled the network manager:
systemctl start NetworkManager
systemctl enable NetworkManager
  • Restarted the network manager service:
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service
