I just had the same problem... I installed Ubuntu server 17.10 on a freshly formatted disk. During the install I was asked to configure the wired interface. Ok
After that I installed the meta-package ubuntu-desktop and re-booted. No wired interface available in NetworkManager. Wireless is ok. I had to change "/etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml" from: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # For more information, see netplan(5). network: version: 2 renderer: networkd ethernets: enp3s0: dhcp4: yes to: # Let NetworkManager manage all devices on this system network: version: 2 renderer: NetworkManager All is well after a reboot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1676547 Title: No network connectivity (NIC unmanaged) after upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1676547/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
