Network device in VM gone after moving the VM
Background:
I opened a Ubuntu 18.04.1 image that had been created on the same computer, but that had been moved from a different location. When prompted I asked that it had been copied (not moved).
Now, Ubuntu no longer seems to auto-recognize the network device. I have tried removing and adding network devices in the Settings in VMWare, but to no avail. It's not like it's not detected in the kernel. I get a ens33 device (renamed from eth0), which is to be expected. I can also manually use dhclient to get network connectivity (dclient ens33), but nothing shows in Settings->Network (except for VPN and Proxy sections). There should have been a "Wired" section there.
Some tips online hint to Netplan, but its config is pretty empty:
$ cat /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml
# Let NetworkManager manage all devices on this system
network:
version: 2
renderer: NetworkManager
Others have mentioned that devices get different UUIDs when imported in VMWare and that this causes some trouble in Ubuntu as it somehow maps (the old) UUIDS to MAC addresses. I am not sure how or where to reset these bindings, but this seems like a step in the right direction.
