Public bug reported: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, Release: 18.04
adding a specification for a bridge to /etc/netplan/01-my_network.yaml causes a fail-over to a catch-all exception handler. No useful debugging information is given. ( i wish you had markdown ) $ sudo netplan try -debug Error while loading /etc/netplan/01-my_network.yaml, aborting. the source file has contents: " # Let netplan manage all devices on this system network: version: 2 renderer: networkd ethernets: enp5s0: dhcp4: yes dhcp6: no bridges: lxdbr0: dhcp4: yes interfaces: - enp5s0 " It loads without error if the bridges section is removed. The file is a simple example from https://netplan.io/examples#bridging I have tried several other configurations, all fail when bridging is attempted. I believe the netplan source is at: https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/netplan/blob/master/netplan/configmanager.py I'm guessing the handler should not be activated. except (IOError, yaml.YAMLError): # pragma: nocover (filesystem failures/invalid YAML) logging.error('Error while loading {}, aborting.'.format(yaml_file)) sys.exit(1) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: netplan.io 0.40.1~18.04.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-42.45-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-42-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zavl icp zcommon znvpair nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.5 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Fri Nov 23 11:34:52 2018 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-11-08 (14 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20181107) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_AU:en PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 SHELL=/usr/bin/zsh SourcePackage: netplan.io UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: netplan.io (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug bionic package-from-proposed third-party-packages -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1804721 Title: netplan try fails through to generic error handler when specifying bridge To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netplan.io/+bug/1804721/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
