But didn't provide a new binary for it yet it seems ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1877884 Title: OpenVSwitch Support: no package for `nm-openvswitch` Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Package Version: NA Issue: Ubuntu NetworkManager packages for Ubuntu 20.04+ lack OVS support. Expected: Running the following: `nmcli con up ovs-mgmt1` `nmcli connection add type ovs-interface con-name mgmt1 ifname mgmt1 ip4 192.168.16.2/24 gw4 192.168.16.1 master internal` Should raise the ovs interface(es) defined. Actual results: `Connection activation failed: NetworkManager plugin for 'ovs-interface' unavailable` `Connection activation failed: NetworkManager plugin for 'ovs-port' unavailable` `Connection activation failed: NetworkManager plugin for 'ovs-bridge' unavailable` *depending on interface type being raised Argument: As of the release of rpm distros {CentOS,RHEL} 8.x there is no standard method to raise OVS interfaces without resorting to depricated ifscripts. deb based releases dropped NetworkManager nm-* support for OVS in favor of networkd. rpm based releases have dropped networkd in favor of NetworkManager.
