I have the same issue: systemd-resolved: Failed to save link data /run/systemd/resolve/netif/3: Permission denied
The netif folder is indeed owned by root. If I change the ownership to systemd-resolved and restart the service, there is no error but as soon as I reboot the system, the ownership is reverted to root and the error is back. Also, I searched the log for other resolved messages and found the error below as well: nm-dispatcher[4641]: /etc/network/if-up.d/resolved: 12: mystatedir: not found -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1896772 Title: systemd-resolved configures no Current Scopes on start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1896772/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
