Bug description:
Impact
------
When upgrading from Xenial (with all updates installed) to Yakkety/Zesty you
will boot to a system without networking - sad!
Test Case
---------
1) Boot a xenial desktop system
2) Ensure network-manager version 1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 from -updates is
installed
3) Upgrade to yakkety or zesty
3.5) Enable -proposed and download the new version of n-m "apt-get download
network-manager"
4) Reboot
5) Observe you have no network
If you install the version of network-manager from yakkety-proposed
and then reboot you should have a network connection.
1) Boot a xenial desktop system.
2) ensure network-manager version 1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 from -updates is
installed.
3) Install nplan, configure to set up static network on an ethernet device
using nplan.
4) Upgrade to yakkety or zesty
5) Reboot
6) Observe that your system is still being managed by networkd rather than
NetworkManager.
Regression Potential
--------------------
Any failure to manage ethernet or wireless devices after upgrade, or
issues with the use of netplan in conjunction with NetworkManager
should be investigated as potential regressions. For example, if after
upgrading, ethernet devices are no longer managed, or if devices that
should be explicitly ignored by NetworkManager due to existing user
configuration are now managed, these would indicate a possible
regression caused by this update.
Original Description
--------------------
nplan was installed during the upgrade process but I had no network
connectivity after upgrading. Apparently, no package wanted to manage
my ethernet connection.
