I upgraded to Lubuntu 15.04 yesterday. I originally installed Lubuntu at school several months back, so it was done using the school's Ethernet connection. At home, I set up my own DSL connection, which worked fine until yesterday. I needed only to click the DSL connection to get online. Now, Ethernet connects (even though I can't use it at home), but DSL doesn't, even though the Network Connections haven't been altered by the upgrade. The computer is an IBM R32-Thinkpad. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

To connect to PPPoE/DSL using NetworkManager on 15.04 requires installing the pppoe
package, which was not installed by default on my Lubuntu 15.04.
sudo apt-get install pppoe
I've reported this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1455219
Open a terminal and type:
sudo pppoeconf
Enter your Ubuntu password.
If you don't know how to answer the questions it asks you, answer with yes. Then it will ask you the DSL username and DSL password.

Thanks me-clau27. But there's a problem. From "Open," I have opened both UXTerm and XTerm and typed in sudo pppoeconf - enter. Both then ask for my Lubuntu password, but there's no response to the keyboard from either when I try to key the password.– SteveApr 25, 2015 at 15:13

It's locked. I'll ask the one at school who helped me install it whether he used a particular password.– SteveApr 26, 2015 at 2:37

Strangely, the problem could only be solved by deleting my ADL details and then re-entering them (Add New).– SteveApr 27, 2015 at 14:36
