Public bug reported: - Start a VM with a network interface created by cloud-init (say ens3), and assume you have no physical console (e.g. cloud VM) - Add another network interface (say ens7) - Create another YAML file to configure ens7, but make a small error. This file need not reference ens3 at all! - Reboot machine
- Observe the following message on boot systemd[332]: /lib/systemd/systemd-generators/netplan failed with error code 1. - Observe that you can no longer SSH in to the machine because the error in the new yaml file prevents all generation, so ens3 is not configured. This is observed with the latest code on git. It renders the system entirely unusable unless there is an alternative way to get in. 1) An error in the configuration of device X should not stop device Y from being configured! 2) Users should be instructed to always run netplan-generate to test for bugs. (Maybe a wrapper like visudo or crontab -e would be good?) ** Affects: nplan (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1746842 Title: No network devices configured if YAML error in any file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nplan/+bug/1746842/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
