Info I've gathered about this issue so far: The netplan should be written to this location:
/etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml And should contain: # Let NetworkManager manage all devices on this system network: version: 2 renderer: NetworkManager See this reference: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/livecd- rootfs/trunk/view/head:/live-build/auto/build#L196 If the file is missing, it can be manually added. Ubuntu transitioned to netplan right before version 1.2.2-0ubuntu8. See here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2016-July/039464.html Additionally, this is related to these 2 bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1638842 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1658921 When 1.2.2 was released, a globally managed file was created (/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf), and a canceling file was also created (/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally- managed-devices.conf). https://git.launchpad.net/network-manager/tree/debian/network- manager.postinst#n48 For some reason, either the override file or the netplan file is missing on upgrades.
