It looks like this is also true in 22.04. I'm wondering if there is a way to build it manually? I want to use OVS to manage the networks I use with KVM virtual machines, but I've been unable to get it working due to the lack of builtin network manager support.
I'd like to avoid moving to netplan if possible, but perhaps I need to? -- 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.
