Wired network not connecting automatically after xubuntu 14.10 upgrade

Last weekend I upgraded my 14.04 xubuntu to the latest release, 14.10 (out of curiosity). Ever since every time I login I have to manually select the wired connection to connect to. The first notification that I see after the login is saying something like "Network disconnected - You are now offline".

I searched for a solution to this matter but I couldn't find anything to fit and fix my problem.

If needed:

$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

[main]

plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

dns=dnsmasq



no-auto-default=<mac:address>,



[ifupdown]

managed=true # this was false but I changed it to true yesterday, thinking it will solve the issue

and

$ cat /etc/network/interfaces

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

I found the issue. What I did to solve the problem: First I reverted the content of /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and /etc/network/interfaces to the original content:

$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

[main]

plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

dns=dnsmasq



no-auto-default=<mac:address>,



[ifupdown]

managed=false

and

$ cat /etc/network/interfaces

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

And the thing that actually solved the issue was to tick the checkbox from the wired connection properties titled All users may connect to this network (which is strange because I haven't modified any of the settings before or after the upgrade):

enter image description here

After this last step everything worked as before.

If not try:

sudo service network-manager restart
