I was able to create a DSL connection from network manager in Ubuntu 17.04. It used to connect automatically whenever cable was connected. But in Ubuntu 17.10, I cannot create a DSL connection through network manager. So, I have to create connection using sudo pppoeconf. But it does not auto connects.

My question is: Is it possible to make pppoeconf autoconnect whenever the wire is connected?

  • Why can't you create a DSL connection in network manager?

  • @Hi-Angel In Ubuntu 17.10, while creating a connection, there is no option to select dsl connection. Nov 18, 2017 at 10:06

    This is weird, I can't even google up such an issue. Well. Have you upgraded 17.04 → 17.10? I mean, in that case you should still have the connection you've used previously, check if you see it in the output of nmcli con show. Otherwise, check if the command nmcli con edit type pppoe con-name "My DSL" works.

    @Hi-Angel Cool Your second command works! Now I can edit the connection in network manager and that connects automatically like ubuntu 17.04. For your first question: I completely removed ubuntu 17.04 and then installed 17.10. So the connection was removed. BTW You can answer my this question and I will accept your answer.
