The deeper reason appears to be: https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netplan.io/tree/debian/patches/0006-cli- apply-give-some-extra-time-for-networkctl- reload.patch?h=applied/ubuntu/focal-updates#n25
It was a bit hard to find because for the "networkctl" calls in strace there was no corresponding code in the github repo. But after inspecting the package the issue seems to be clear. So there is a 5s timeout that is hit here because the networkctl output is: """ qemu:ubuntu-core-20-64 .../tests/core/netplan-cfg# networkctl IDX LINK TYPE OPERATIONAL SETUP 1 lo loopback carrier unmanaged 2 ens3 ether routable configured 3 br54 bridge degraded configuring 3 links listed. """ I don't know if our test-case is pathological in the sense that nooone would create a br54 interface and then not use it or if this is a real bug. But in any case, that seems to be the root issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1967084 Title: netplan dbus returns "false" in io.netplan.Netplan.Config.Set with networkd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/netplan/+bug/1967084/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
