I have Debian buster on my laptop. It defaults to nm. But I used network/interfaces years ago.

September 9, 2018, Ubuntu bionic beaver desktop, netplan is not in charge here:

grep ‘^ *renderer: *NetworkManager’ /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml && {
sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop
sudo ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev $eth1

} || echo netplan may be in charge\, \”man netplan\”

Calm down. Netplan is not in charge yet here, in Ubuntu 18 bionic beaver desktop. We may also run into trouble with resolvconf.

grep ‘^ *renderer: *NetworkManager’ /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml && {
[do stuff]
} || echo netplan has superseded NetworkManager here\, \”man netplan\”

I think you should ask Canonical about this but not me. I’m usually remove this and configuring network by networkd.

Do you know why Ubuntu has implemented netplan? Is it across all Debian distro’s?

We are quite rapidly heading towards 2 distinct branches of Linux; RH based for enterprise, and Ubuntu/Debian for developers.
