I agree that the /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed- devices.conf should be deleted from Ubuntu's network-manager package.
Especially, as it is being overwritten in any normal Ubuntu Desktop installation, using the following netplan YAML: ``` network: version: 2 renderer: NetworkManager ``` If we use a global "renderer: NetworkManager" stanza (as is the default on Ubuntu Desktop, where NM is part of the default installation) netplan will create an empty file in /run/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally- managed-devices.conf, to override that file anyway. But we should be aware that it could introduce a change of default behavior on Ubuntu server where network-manager is being installed additionally. But netplan generates /run/NetworkManager/conf.d/netplan.conf to specifically ignore devices that are not supposed to be handled by NM, so we should be fine there, too. I've recently updated the allow- and deny-list logic in netplan to be more generic and instruct NetworkManager to ignore/manage devices based on specific udev rules. With this PR I'm also changing the 10-globally- managed-devices.conf logic to override Ubuntu's default anytime a NetworkManager interface is being defined in netplan YAML (not just if it's defined as the global renderer). https://github.com/canonical/netplan/pull/276 ** Changed in: netplan.io (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Lukas Märdian (slyon) ** Changed in: netplan.io (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1951653 Title: can't use NM for ethernet device on 20.04 LTS because it is 'strictly unmanaged' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netplan.io/+bug/1951653/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
