Re: [bitfolk] Network not coming up

Hi Henry, On Fri, Nov 09, 2018 at 08:03:54PM +0000, Andy Smith wrote: Just going back to this, now I realise that people were right and netplan does take over if it's installed, we should check what is configuring your network. Is there a /run/network/ifstate file present? If so then ifupdown has been called. Is there anything in /etc/netplan/ ? If so then netplan may have done something. The contents of those files would be interesting. Also if you run: $ sudo netplan --debug generate --mapping eth0 you should get back something like: DEBUG:command generate: running ['/lib/netplan/generate', '--mapping', 'eth0'] ** (generate:11022): DEBUG: 08:39:59.523: Processing input file //etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml.. ** (generate:11022): DEBUG: 08:39:59.523: starting new processing pass ** (generate:11022): DEBUG: 08:39:59.523: eth0: setting default backend to 1 id=eth0, backend=networkd, set_name=(null), match_name=eth0, match_mac=(null), match_driver=(null) which shows that netplan is in charge of eth0, using systemd-networkd as a backend, and the config is coming from /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml. You can then decide whether to: - continue with the new Ubuntu way of doing things which is netplan, in which case I recommend deleting /etc/network/interfaces and uninstalling ifupdown if it exists as a package as it will be confusing, or - revert back to ifupdown in which case you need to write a correct /etc/network/interfaces and uninstall netplan package.
