ifupdown which provides netowrking.service is no longer installed by default or used.
desktop systems default to networkmanager for network management, as they have done since forever. server and cloud systems in artful default to using src:nplan package, netplan command line by default. Which generates and uses systemd- networkd by default. If you do not wish to use Networkmanager, please write a netplan yaml config in /etc/netplan and reboot. netplan command has a helpful `ifupdown-migrate` subcommand, which may be convenient for you to convert ifupdown e-n-i files into netplan yaml. A simple example is: $ cat /etc/netplan/10-netplan.yaml network: version: 2 ethernets: eth0: match: name: eth0 dhcp4: true Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Netplan for more information. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720892 Title: 17.10Beta2. networking.service not available To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1720892/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
