We are - as always - trying to clean and recheck old bugs. This - sadly - clearly is one of them. The situation is still correct, but with the full switch to networkd and netplan as well as the demotion of ifupdown in later versions of Ubuntu this has become even less important. And it didn#t even find enough importance/attendence before :-/
I'm retagging this as a Xenial/Bionic issue, because later releases would just work totally different anyway. ** Also affects: bridge-utils (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: bridge-utils (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: bridge-utils (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: bridge-utils (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: bridge-utils (Ubuntu Focal) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: bridge-utils (Ubuntu Jammy) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: bridge-utils (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: bridge-utils (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: bridge-utils (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to bridge-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1652269 Title: udev script shortcuts ifup-scripts Status in bridge-utils package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in bridge-utils source package in Xenial: Confirmed Status in bridge-utils source package in Bionic: Confirmed Status in bridge-utils source package in Focal: Invalid Status in bridge-utils source package in Jammy: Invalid Bug description: Hi, I just ran into a problem. I've configured a bridge as a virtual lan (for lxc, lxd, and these things), but also configured an USB Ethernet dongle to be part of the bridge. If the dongle is present at boot time or if the dongle is put in while the bridge is down, then /lib/udev/bridge-network-interface tries to take the bridge up. Nice. But it does not call ifup, instead it directly calls IFACE=$port /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/vlan This ifup is not aware that the interface is up and still thinks it would be down, and all the other settings (up/down-scripts ...) are not executed. Breaks functionality (and can be a security problem, since firewall settings my be skipped.)
