[Touch-packages] [Bug 1565083] Re: 16.04 beta2, cannot override udev network interface name in VM
Oh, so it's a Debian-flavor specific issue. This said, the README mentions only two methods (.rules or kernel parameter), whereas I'm using the third one mentioned by the freedesktop.org page (.link configuration). Would it be possible to leave a note in the systemd.link(5) manpage instead, where it's more likely to be RTFM'd? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1565083 Title: 16.04 beta2, cannot override udev network interface name in VM Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Hello, I just cannot seem to override a network interface name on a Ubuntu Server 16.04 beta 2 fresh install.

OK, so I have spent quite some time typing this bug report but ultimately found the solution. I leave a comment in case other people face the same issue.
