I have an issue on Ubuntu 18.04 that Ethernet is not managed. However Internet works fine, but it makes it impossible for me to set up vino screen sharing.

Here are some outputs:

superuser@SuperTower:~$ nmcli d

superuser@SuperTower:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback





superuser@SuperTower:~$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf 

[main]

plugins=ifupdown,keyfile



[ifupdown]

managed=true



[device]

wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no





superuser@SuperTower:~$ ls -al /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf

[keyfile]

superuser@SuperTower:~$ cat /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml 

# Let NetworkManager manage all devices on this system

  renderer: NetworkManager

I have tried solutions from various questions here and also

superuser@SuperTower:~$ sudo nmcli dev set eno1 managed yes

but nothing helps. Still unmanaged. Any ideas?

This seems to do the magic:

superuser@SuperTower:~$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf 

[main]

plugins=ifupdown,keyfile



[ifupdown]

managed=true



[device]

wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no





superuser@SuperTower:~$ cat /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf

[keyfile]

unmanaged-devices=*,except:type:wifi,except:type:wwan





superuser@SuperTower:~$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf

[keyfile]

unmanaged-devices=none

Also, just restarting network-manager service did not help. Only full reboot.
