I've used Linux for a long time
but I've never seen the maddest that is #NetPlan
I do an #Ethernet bond(2 Nic's bonding as 1) on my Main-PC
I wanted to change the Transmit Hash Policy in my bond via .nmconnection file for NM but NetPlan got in the way on my #Kubuntu
I really know #NetworkManager but NetPlan is missing options I needed etc... So I made changes & got Network Manager to take over but it took me Hrs of playing with it. Now I know why people hate NetPlan

Successfully managed to lock myself out while configuring #ipv6 using #netplan.

Okay, if today is a day of morons, I must mention #systemd, #netplan, and maintainers of #nftables who specified network-pre.target for Wants and Before in nftables.service.

Just think: network-pre

They are happily unaware of tunnels created by netplan.

And netplan cannot create tun interfaces, LOL.

#ifupdown and #sysvinit worked like a charm but which VPS provider offer, say, #devuan ?

Modern developers drag us back to the stone age.

I've just finished to set up my #ansible playbooks with #NetworkManager... They've changed for #netplan ;-(

Are there any generators for #netplan config from #Netbox data? I can't be the first to want this, but I can't find anything - even before requiring support for MTUs and VLANs on LAGs...

Ubuntu 25.10 Network Disabled After Reboot? Do not panic! Here's How to Fix it.

Full Guide: https://ostechnix.com/ubuntu-25-10-network-disabled-after-reboot/

#Ubuntu2510 #Network #Troubleshooting #Netplan

Yes, that was the obvious solution. Glad I don't have to type all that in myself, but rather that #Hashicorp #Packer does that for me.

(I have to configure the network to set "dhcp-identifier: mac" in Netplan, *before* the autoinstall file is downloaded; to mimic what happens when I install NetworkManager in the generated VM, otherwise it switched IP addresses after reboot, and Packer fails to log in over SSH).

Definitely did not waste most of today figuring this out...

#Ubuntu #CloudInit #Netplan #NetworkManager #FAIL

Oof, that sounded much scarier than it turned out - could've been a 30 bucks brick!

It's fine, i've already rebooted the box. I'm not exactly sure about the improvements, though.

My MCX311A-XCAT always had all Fs in the GUIDs - shouldn't those be "Globally Uniquely IDentifying"?

While i'm figuring out how to utilise the #SRIOV capability, it'll be a member of br0.

…it couldn't be a simple "virtual-function-count" in my #Netplan yaml, could it? (anyone?)
