Triaged/High; since this affects some users who connect directly through PPPoE. While this may be a relatively low number of people, it's crippling if they cannot retrieve pppoe after the fact due to no network...
This simply needs a cherry-pick of http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=6fdfb03107138e96e641d12a7c4df5ecfacb5406, which reverts changes that unfortunately landed in vivid too; so should be SRU'd. As an added benefit, with this patch it is unnecessary to install the pppoe package, everything is handled directly by pppd. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (mathieu-tl) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1446689 Title: network-manager configured to use /usr/sbin/pppoe but does not recommend pppoe Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in network-manager package in Debian: New Bug description: networkmanager switched from using ppp to using pppoe binary for dsl/pppoe connections, I am using pppoe and I can't connect to the Internet unless I install "pppoe" package. From: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?h=nm-0-9-10&id=7955806a02db64b20079267743056d7d9d45af3b "for now, work around this by using the userland pppoe client rather than the kernel code" One way to fix it is to include pppoe Another way is to configure --with-pppoe=/usr/sbin/pppd. I think this is urgent as pppoe/dsl on all vivid machines will be broken out-of-the-box.
