Issue with images:ubuntu/23.04 - openvswitch: ovsdb-server.service is not running

LXD

Hello,

If I do
lxc init images:ubuntu/23.04 c1
Then
lxc shell c1
and
vi /etc/netplan/10-lxc.yaml
… make some changes …
netplan apply
I get :

** (generate:156): WARNING **: 17:47:09.180: Permissions for /etc/netplan/10-lxc.yaml are too open. Netplan configuration should NOT be accessible by others.
Cannot call openvswitch: ovsdb-server.service is not running.

If I
chmod go-r 10-lxc.yaml
and try again I get :
Cannot call openvswitch: ovsdb-server.service is not running.
Why is this so? If I use images:ubuntu/22.04 or 22.10 this works.

lxd 5.13-cea5ee2 24758 latest/stable/… canonical✓ -

I’m running LXD on 23.04.

This is still a problem for me.

The warning looks like something we should fix @monstermunchkin

I did a quick search for the ovsdb-server problem and found:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netplan.io/+bug/1995598

So it seems to be a bug that was fixed in Ubuntu 22.04 but perhaps also exists in 23.04.

Please could you file a bug for that?

Thanks

I think it would also suggest the netplan file in the 23.04 base image is too permissive by default. It needs to be umask 077?

wipes a tear I think this is the first time I’ve ever had something I reported actually get fixed by anyone.

Wait, wait, I had something for this searches pockets Yes! unfurls worn note

cough Right, well, first of all, I’d like to thank the Academy, and my parents, and all those wonderful people that have supported me on my journey. When I was a child growing up, I dreamed of this moment, and this has sustained me through so many difficulties … a hook appears, and I am dragged off stage Noooooooo! I had more!
