On 2017-04-15 I upgraded from 16.04 to 16.10 on the way to 17.04. This issue was the one and only problem I encountered.
In my case I started the wired interface manually (sudo ifconfig enp3s0 up && sudo dhclient epn3s0), got on-line and found this page. Message 6 above worked perfectly, and it's an easy fix once one knows what to do - but not until then. It would be a very good idea to fix this, because as observed above it's a disproportionate nuisance as it prevents web access, hindering the the search for a fix and for neophytes - exactly the people we want to get using Linux - that could drive them away. -- 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/1658921 Title: NetworkManager does not manage wired connection Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: NetworkManager does not manage my wired eth0 connection, no matter how I set /etc/network/interfaces or /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf Using ubuntu 16.04, /etc/network/interfaces only managed lo, and [ifupdown] section of NetworkManager.conf had set managed=false. With these same settings, after upgrading to ubuntu 16.10, eth0 appears as unmanaged in nm-applet. If I modify /etc/network/interfaces and add auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp And set managed=true in NetworkManager.conf [ifupdown] section, eth0 is still unmanaged despite it does get an IP from DHCP server. This is happening in my five computers (two laptops and three desktops).
