Hi,
I’ve been evaluation network-manager for some UC use cases. IT works pretty well on the whole, and obviously brings some more advanced features of systemd-networkd.
However, I noticed that including networking-manager in the model assertion and image, then bootstrapping the device, name resolution fails until the device is rebooted.
It seems both the dns server I and search path are missing from the system resolver config. There is nothing obvious in either systemd-networkd logs, or network-manager logs.
A reboot fixes the issue.
It looks like after initial bootstrap and first reboot, systemd-networkd is still in use, and network-manager doesn’t take over until the next reboot. Once rebooted and network-manger is in control everything is working fine.
If I remove network-manager from the model assertion, re-create the image, and try bootstrap again, everything works fine. Name resolution is working without a reboot.
It seems to me like there are two issues:
-
systemd-networkdfails to receive the dns IP and search path if network-manager is installed. - Snapd should probably orchestrate a system reboot after seeding the network-manager snap, otherwise it’s not being used, essentially [ perhaps this is actually something that should be orchestrated from the snap implementation, not sure ].
This on Ubuntu Core 20, x86, using the 20/stable track of network-manager.
Has anyone else observed this ? Does it should like a bug of some sort ?
Cheers, Just
