Public bug reported: Hello.
I've installed today from the Ubuntu Server Daily ISO. During the installer process, we get the system identifying network interfaces with the traditional unpredictable naming algorithms of eth##. After installation, the system uses systemd to identify network interface names, per http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ In the Virtual Environment i'm using, on VMware Workstation x64 with two virtual NICs, I end up with ens33 and ens34 according to the installed system. However, the installer populated the /etc/network/interfaces configuration with eth0 and eth1. As a result, networking fails to start up after a reboot, and either /etc/network/interfaces needs edited to match the correct identifiers and a reboot issued, or one has to do `sudo dhclient` to update the IP address. For static addressing networks, of course, you still need to revise the interfaces file. This is a serious issue, as upon installation via the ubuntu-server ISO, networking will fail to come up, leaving users to scratch their head expecting instant access. Due to an uncertainty in the severity, I've set it to High given that last point. Please feel free to change it. Note that this is filed against both systemd and netcfg as I am not sure which one needs to be fixed.
