------- Comment From kieni...@de.ibm.com 2018-06-07 03:18 EDT------- "So your system is obviously not an 18.04 default installation from scratch" This is correct. We are not using a standard installation but build an appliance with a minimal footprint. Our build process builds the appliance using debootstrap and we are using a local apt repository with the deb packages from UBUNTU 18.04 as input for debootstrap. So we are basically controlling what packages are installed in our appliances and right now netplan is not included.

Ubuntu(version <17.04): Creating an empty file(/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf) and restarting NM, solved the issue. 2. Ubuntu(version 17.10): Copying the said file(10-globally-managed-devices.conf) from /usr/lib to /etc/ and modifying the "unmanaged-devices" to none, resolved the issue. * link for reference: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /network-manager/+bug/1638842 For the latest version(18.04), none of the above solutions worked.
