Fix for Ubuntu Server 24.04 offline install missing network config

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS offline installation leaves network interfaces unmanaged with systemd-networkd disabled. Users must manually create a netplan config file, enable the network service, and apply the configuration. The fix involves creating /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml with DHCP settings and running systemctl enable/start commands.

Meridian48 take
A useful workaround for a common installer oversight, but highlights that Ubuntu's offline setup still lacks polish for server deployments.
