Wired Networking Ubuntu 17.04

I just upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 to 16.10 and then 17.04 and lost wired networking in the process. It was fine 4 hours ago before upgrading. I can connect to WiFi but Ethernet Network is grayed out in my Network Management menu. Here is the output of ifconfig -a

ifconfig -a

If, as this site https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-wired-connect.html describes, I need to manually set up my IPV4, where do I find the values to use?

Solution 1:

Edit file /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf and change it's content from:

[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=*,except:type:wifi,except:type:wwan

to :

[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=*,except:type:ethernet,except:type:wifi,except:type:wwan

And then run:

sudo service network-manager restart

Solution 2:

exactly same problem here. Solved with creating an empty file:

sudo touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf
sudo service network-manager restart
