I can confirm this bug is *not* present in upstream as I am using the newest GNOME stack on Arch Linux, and I haven't encountered this bug ever before on my system.
I have a suspicion that the same bug also affects Debian Stretch Stable. If installing the system from the Small CD image with every TaskSel task unselected but "Standard System Utilities", and manually installing GNOME stack via CLI, result in no devices being managed by the system after reboot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-applet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726958 Title: Network Manager does not show any available connection devices, if installed from mini ISO and ubuntu-desktop task. Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This seems to be an issue with Network Manager, but I'm not 100% sure. In testing Ubuntu 17.10 in a VM, installed via the mini ISO and then installing the ubuntu-desktop package and all tasks that TaskSel would have executed, the system lists no managed interfaces. The LAN interface, therefore, is not able to have its config altered out-of-the-box with *just* Network Manager. The interface is not listed in /etc/network/interfaces or any such interface configuration file, and though it gets a DHCP address, there is no way to switch it to a static configuration or DHCP with customized DNS servers without adding a definition into /etc/network/interfaces or similar, based on my testing.
