[13:36] Hi, [13:36] Anybody has an idea, how I could possibly modify config files that netplan is creating? In my case I would like to start the wpa_supplicant executable verbose. But when I modify the corresponding service file in /run/systemd/system/netplan-wpa*.service it will be overwritten by the "netplan apply" command. [13:37] Osteste: hi! yes, you can use systemd override configs [13:38] in your case you could create a corresponding file in /etc/systemd/system/netplan-wpa*.service.d/override.conf and put the sections you want to change in there [13:39] the override.conf will be applied on top of netplan's config in /run/systemd/... [13:40] Sounds like a plan! Didn't know about overwrites. DO I have to use the whole file, or just the diff? [13:41] just the diff is enough. see https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/398540/how-to-override-systemd-unit-file-settings for reference [13:43] Thank you! I am about to test this out... [13:43] yw [13:58] I used "systemctl edit netplan-wpa-wlp1s0.service" to add a modified ExecStart line of the unit/service file, and it created the override file in /etc. But even after a "systemctl daemon-reload" the apply netplan still starts with the old line created by netplan in /run folder. Did I miss something? [14:01] ah I think ExecStart= is a special case, you might need to put an empty "ExecStart=" into your override.conf before adding the new "ExecStart=" afterwards [14:01] as ExecStart= can be specified multiple times [14:04] so two lines into that file, one "ExecStart=" and the other like I want it to become? .. let's try. [14:07] still no changes in the command line arguments of my wpa_supplicant service, even after reapplying netplan and restarting according service. [14:08] hmm I think it should be 3 lines in that file. as you need to specify the "[Service]" section, too [14:11] Not sure what you mean. [14:11] Just the word "[Service]" in a line to let the parser know what section of the unit the line belongs to? [14:14] That worked out, thanks!! [14:16] yes exactly :)
