I have worked past this issue for now. I think the most common reason that ovs-vsctl hangs is because ovs-vswitchd is not actually running. The systemd mechanism (service openvswitch-swith start|stop|status) can get confused by openvswitch because it is likely that ovsdb-server is running even if ovs-vswitchd didn't manage to start.
Look in the error longs in /var/log, particularly /var/log/apport.log. In my case it turned out to be a memory allocation problem with huge pages. Once that was fixed I was able to proceed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1601820 Title: ovs-vsctl is hanging To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvswitch/+bug/1601820/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
