After updating Ubuntu a few days back my ethernet has stopped working. The wifi works fine. I even managed to make my ethernet work once using sudo dhclient eth0 but could not replicate it after reboot. I have another laptop with Windows and the physical cable is fine.
My ethernet connection gets connected but internet doesn't work.
Also I am behind a proxy if that helps in anyway.
I have posted this after reading a lot of fixes on the internet. None of them seem to even temporarily fix my problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Here are a few outputs :

Update:
The answer below used to temporarily start my internet once in a while but didn't fix it permanently. So eventually after a couple of regular minor updates from Ubuntu my ethernet started working again. So I guess if the common solutions on the internet don't work and your ethernet stopped working just after an update you should probably wait for the next update.
Best Answer
open
/etc/network/interfaces
usingadd line
then do
you are saying
sudo dhclient eth0
working so do above change it will search for DHCP when you start system also make sure you have proper proxy setting in your system .currentifconfig
output shows your system getting IP from DHCP.EDIT: For
device not managed
you have to open/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
using command :and change the line
managed=false
tomanaged=true
and restartNetworkManager
For more info related this problem you can take help from Askubuntu another question network manager says “device not managed”
