[10:31] <StyXman> hi people. first time user. I'm just trying to declare a bridge on top of the single eth, got a nasty backtrace instead of an error: https://dpaste.org/QDkzB
[10:31] <StyXman> a) should I report it?
[10:34] <StyXman> b) why do the examples https://netplan.io/reference/#properties-for-device-type-bridges%3A reference eth blocks by name and not by interface? is there anything wrong with the way I do it?
[10:36] <slyon> Hey StyXman! an ethernet interface/block can be referenced by the interface name itself (as you did it), or by an unique identifier, if combined with a "match" stanza, as shown in the example. both will work
[10:37] <slyon> in your case the eth definition is commented out, so netplan does not know what the slave interface is supposed to be, as can be seen form the error message: "/etc/netplan/00-static.yaml:8:21: Error in network definition: lan0: interface 'enp2s0' is not defined"
[10:38] <slyon> if no configuration is needed for enp2s0, you should define an empty ethernets block as: "enp2s0: {}"
[10:41] <StyXman> slyon: ack, what about reporting the issue?
[10:42] <slyon> StyXman: let's first try to fix your YAML configuration and see if the issue presists
[10:44] <schopin> It might not look like it, but this is actually *not* an uncontrolled exception, we just have a somewhat verbose catchall except case in the netplan try code :D
[10:45] <StyXman> slyon: it worked :)
[10:45] <StyXman> schopin: it might not be one, but it's still too verbose for a user
[10:46] <StyXman> and beware of java-backtrace-bitten sysadmis :-P
[10:49] <schopin> Agreed :)
[10:49] <StyXman> :)
[10:51] <schopin> Oh wait, that *is* an uncontrolled exception, my bad!
[10:54] <schopin> The revert() call in the handler failed in the exact same way. Perhaps we could compare the two exceptions?
[10:58] <slyon> ugh indeed I did not look close enough. feel free to report a bug about this uncontrolled exception at https://bugs.launchpad.net/netplan/+filebug
[11:02] <StyXman> slyon: ack
[15:18] <StyXman> slyon: sorry, but for some reason ubuntu one does not like me and I can't get in. I hope you have enought info to file it yourself :(
[15:20] <schopin> StyXman: you might want to ask on #launchpad if you're having login trouble :)
