[Touch-packages] [Bug 1567744] Re: USB NICs get too long name for ifupdown aliases or bridge names
I don't understand why this is a won't fix bug. If users pick a long NIC name by themselves, then it's users' responsibility to fix it. But apparently this is not the case, it's an unexpected behavior caused by internal conflicts of different linux components. -- 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/1567744 Title: USB NICs get too long name for ifupdown aliases or bridge names Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: I have a USB NIC that is connected to my denial system.

Hi,
we're running into the same problem and wonder whether we could use a
sub-string of the MAC address instead. Does the UDEV library support
something like $env{MAC_ADDR:6}?

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1567744] Re: USB NICs get too long name for ifupdown aliases or bridge names
Just an update - this problem still exists in Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS. In case someone gets to this page due to this problem, there is a workaround. Downside on this workaround is, that all network interface names are then changed to eth0, eth1, eth2 etc, so one must change settings on the /etc/network/interfaces -file so, that they work also after this change. Steps: 1) Update /etc/default/grub as follows: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0" 2) Update GRUB: sudo update-grub 3) If necessary, modify /etc/network/interfaces, specially if you have static IP addresses 4) Reboot the computer. -- 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/1567744 Title: USB NICs get too long name for ifupdown aliases or bridge names Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I have a USB NIC that is connected to my denial system.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1567744] Re: USB NICs get too long name for ifupdown aliases or bridge names
Moving to "ubuntu-17.05" (in other words, "just past zesty release"). I think this still needs to be addressed and I'm sorry it hasn't been fixed yet. I'll revive the discussion on this subject and look at the already proposed solutions. Seems like we don't need vastly new technology to properly handle VLANs, bridges, aliases at least in the typical situations; especially given that there *are* workarounds. ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Milestone: ubuntu-17.03 => ubuntu-17.05 -- 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/1567744 Title: USB NICs get too long name for ifupdown aliases or bridge names Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I have a USB NIC that is connected to my denial system.

Good that we have a workaround - "net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0".

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1567744] Re: USB NICs get too long name for ifupdown aliases or bridge names
I just lost 3 days to this issue before I realized what was happening. I realize this is an edge case, and understand the issues with fixing this, but at least some type of better error messages would have helped prevent that waste of time. I was trying to setup a host to run docker with macvlan networks mapped to vlan interfaces on a pair of USB ethernet adapters connected to a BRIX used for testing. Couldn't get a bond on the pair to work, couldn't figure out why, then tried for just VLAN interfaces, and that didn't work either. Thought I was losing it, didn't seem that hard. Not sure how I figured it out, but realized if I switched back to using eth1, eth2 for the USB ethernet devices, using "net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0" boot options + old-style mac-address rules to map, I could get everything to work. But, wasn't happy with the workaround, as I'd prefer to use the new predictable names. I like the idea of using last 6 digits of Mac address. I thought of doing this: sudo ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/73-usb-net-by-mac.rules to go back to slot names, but if I plug into different ports, names change, so no. Perhaps some different prefix other than enx to avoid confusion, usb123456 anyone? -- 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/1567744 Title: USB NICs get too long name for ifupdown aliases or bridge names Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I have a USB NIC that is connected to my denial system.
