In my situation, I wasn't able to create DSL connection in network-manager in ubuntu 17.10. So, I used pppoeconf and it doesn't connect automatically. But Hi-Angel's comment solved my problem and Now I am able to create a DSL connection in network-manager and it connects automatically.

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?-
Hi-Angel over 6 yearsWhy can't you create a DSL connection in network manager?

Sharif Minhazul Islam over 6 years@Hi-Angel In Ubuntu 17.10, while creating a connection, there is no option to select dsl connection.

Hi-Angel over 6 yearsThis 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 commandnmcli con edit type pppoe con-name "My DSL"
works. -
Sharif Minhazul Islam over 6 years@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.
