The only problem missing is the dbus aspect. dbus.service is necessary for NetworkManager but cannot be started manually[1], preventing NetworkManager to start succefully.
[1] dbus.service # we don't properly stop D-Bus (see ExecStop=), thus disallow restart RefuseManualStart=yes As a debug exercise, I have commented (#RefuseManualStart=yes) start dbus.service by hand and then pick the 'Enable Networking' option and it works. Need to find a way to make dbus.service to start with friendly-recovery or when 'Enable Network' is chosen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1766872 Title: 'Enable Network' in recovery mode not working in Bionic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/friendly-recovery/+bug/1766872/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
