After reinstalling NetworkManager internet connection is not working. Only dhclient usb0 works. VPN connection says it’s connected but it’s not
I had a problem with dropping internet and vpn connection on ubuntu 20.04. Because of that i decided to reinstall network manager according to this anwser.
I executed following commands
sudo apt-get purge network-manager
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install network-manager
sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop
then rebooted the system and after that i can’t connect to the internet. My modem is Android device with tethering enabled (internet connection has been working properly before executing commands that i listed above). Connection is visible on the ubuntu GUI (top right corner) and is named “USB Ethernet Connected”. Despite of that internet is not working.
I found that i can execute dhclient usb0 and after that internet is working properly but i have to do it every time i boot up the system. Also i can’t connect to VPN network (there is no error, GUI says it’s connected but servers available only in VPN network are not accessible).
There is my ifconfig

There is my /etc/network/interfaces file (originally after reinstallation of network manager it was empty but i added it in the mean time)
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
# auto lo
# iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
# auto usb0
# iface usb0 inet dhcp
There is my netplan configuration (only /etc/netplan/01-network-amanger-all.yaml is there)
# Let NetworkManager manage all devices on this system
network:
version: 2
renderer: NetworkManager
and /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
[ifupdown]
managed=true
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=*,except:type:wifi,except:type:wwan,except:type:ethernet
I would like to have working internet after booting up the computer and working VPN connection. I would be glad for any explanations why it stopped working, what can i do and where i can read more about network configuration in Ubuntu.
EDIT #1
It seems that executing below commands fixed internet connection on system boot but VPN is still not working.
apt install resolvconf
systemctl enable systemd-resolved.service
service systemd-resolved start
EDIT #2
After executing sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop and rebooting the machine VPN configuration can be edited and I can connect to VPN but i can’t access any server by it’s DNS name.
EDIT #3
Issue has been resolved following this tutorial
