missing netplan config (eth0 cant connect on bionic)

[fczuardi]

I have just flashed a rock64 with the bionic minimal 0.6.33 and after booting there is no network on eth0. Pinging 8.8.8.8 will error with Network is unreachable

Then I went to check the file at /etc/network/interfaces and the contents were:

# ifupdown has been replaced by netplan(5) on this system.  See
# /etc/netplan for current configuration.
# To re-enable ifupdown on this system, you can run:
#    sudo apt install ifupdown

And then I looked into the /etc/netplan and it was empty.

So, apparently Ubuntu is migrating to this https://netplan.io/ thing, and indeed, creating a /etc/netplan/config.yaml file with the contents of that website brought the network up on the next reboot:

network:
  version: 2
  renderer: NetworkManager

Thanks to the pointer to netplan.io
I was stuck on that, and gave up...

I will re-enable ifupdown.

I kind of like the netplan idea as you can pick systemd or networkmanager pretty easily. Going forward I wonder if it is better to supplpy a netplan config.yaml for systemd for headless and networkmanager for desktop being ubuntu is using this going forward?

netplan is natively supported now
