Public bug reported: linux kernel 5.0.0-13 Kubuntu 19.04 hardware: old Dell laptop Inspiron 1720
After upgrading an old Dell laptop Inspiron 1720 (from 2007 I think) from Kubuntu 18.10 to 19.04, the result is a broken system: booting takes + 5 minutes looking at the boot messages I see "Failed to start Dispatcher daemon for systemd-networkd" and consequently Network Manager fails to run. Eventually it reaches the desktop where it takes another 5 minutes to display the panel. In a terminal it fails to execute any network command (ifconfig, ip) as well as "sudo" and "lshw". If I boot with the previous kernel, the 4.18.0-18 of Kubuntu 18.10, it works without problem. For now I have set its grub to start by default the 4.18 kernel instead of the 5.0 one. I tried running "apport-cli -f -p linux --save kernel5.0onOldDellInspiron1720.apport" but that has been spitting out periods ("....") for 10 minutes now and still hasn't finished. dmesg output attached. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete ** Tags: kernel-bug systemd-networkd ** Attachment added: "dmesg kernel 5 kubuntu 19.04 laptop Dell inspiron 1720.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1829310/+attachment/5264130/+files/dmesg%20kernel%205%20kubuntu%2019.04%20laptop%20Dell%20inspiron%201720.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1829310 Title: kernel 5 fails to start systemd-networkd on old Dell Inspiron 1720 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: linux kernel 5.0.0-13 Kubuntu 19.04 hardware: old Dell laptop Inspiron 1720 After upgrading an old Dell laptop Inspiron 1720 (from 2007 I think) from Kubuntu 18.10 to 19.04, the result is a broken system: booting takes + 5 minutes looking at the boot messages I see "Failed to start Dispatcher daemon for systemd-networkd" and consequently Network Manager fails to run.
