But I think I figured out what the problem is: In comparison to Ubuntu 22.04 I found under /lib/netplan/00-network- manager-all.yaml on Ubuntu 24.04 a config file, where NetworkManager as the renderer is declared. However this file did not exist on Ubuntu 22.04, therefor it is mandatory to declare the renderer in your netplan config. If you do not do this, the renderer is set to NetworkManager automatically.
See also: https://ubuntu.com/blog/ubuntu-bionic-netplan https://people.ubuntu.com/~slyon/netplan-docs/examples/ This solved my problem during the ubuntu-desktop-minimal installation on Ubuntu 24.04, but I am using systemd-networkd as the backend network manager and not NetworkManager. But maybe this file also exist on your system with a other renderer declared. Hope this helps you! -- 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/2097769 Title: Installation of ubuntu-desktop-minimal breaks DNS Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After performing an autoinstall with Ubuntu Server ISO and rebooting, trying to automate the installation of ubuntu-desktop-minimal causes DNS settings to be lost. For our specific use-case, we are installing ubuntu server (fully automated), then using Puppet to install desktop packages. This was working without any manual interaction previously on both Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 For the last week or so, deployments of 24.04 (22.04 is still fine) are getting stuck after installing ubuntu-desktop-minimal. The DNS server settings are lost, but IP connectivity remains. Step-by-step 1) Install Ubuntu Server with default network configuration using autoinstall. 2) Reboot and install network-manager (note that everything is still working normally) 3) Install ubuntu-desktop-minimal DNS settings are now lost on the primary interface, yet IP connectivity remains. networkd is still managing the interface, but "netplan get" reports that NetworkManager is the current renderer. ``` network: version: 2 renderer: NetworkManager ethernets: enp1s0: critical: true nameservers: addresses: - 172.16.1.100 - 172.18.1.100 dhcp-identifier: "mac" dhcp4: true ``` We can workaround the problem forcing an extra reboot after installing ubuntu-desktop-minimal. But previously this workflow was fine without rebooting until the very end of the config.
