I am finally sick of using Network Manager on Ubuntu 18. It seems to make my Internet connection slower and I am constantly messing around trying to fix it. I used the command below to remove the Network Manager service.
4.4 Fri Aug 31 jason@Yog-Sothoth 0: $ sudo apt-get remove network-manager network-manager-gnome network-manager-pptp network-manager-pptp-gnome
Now I have setup my interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces manually with DHCP configured.
1 # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) 2 auto lo 3 iface lo inet loopback 4 auto enp0s25 5 iface enp0s25 inet dhcp 6
Now I run sudo ifup enp0s25 and the network interface comes right up. My Internet connection is way faster and it is more usable. This still allows my machine to get a dynamic IP address, but it is faster now. I am not sure why it is so bad, other people have had problems with this too: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1031144/extremely-slow-ethernet-connection-after-fresh-install-of-16-04. But this is one way to fix this issue. When I start up my machine now the network service is still running on boot, this starts my network interface, but there is no Network Manager. This means I have a nice fast Internet connection and DHCP works perfectly.
4.4 Mon Sep 03 jason@Yog-Sothoth 0: $ ps ax | grep network 1172 ? Ssl 0:00 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/networkd-dispatcher --run-startup-triggers 4532 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-network --spawner :1.7 /org/gtk/gvfs/exec_spaw/1
So, this does work on Ubuntu 18. I have a nice fast connection and managing your connection can be done with Systemd and traditional services, just get rid of Network Manager.
This is my nice SSH banner that I have configured on my Linux system, this allows a user to read terms of use when logging into a remote system.

Edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and add this line.
Banner /etc/ssh/info |
Then enter the terms of use into that file, then the user will be greeted by the terms of use when logging into a system.
