Can't do a fresh install

Community Support Install & Set-Up

Hi all, trying to do an install of 1.9.3 on a newly installed / updated version of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and its complaining about netplan:

[ * ] Installing dependencies...
!!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!!

WARNING: Your network configuration may not be set up correctly.
Details: The netplan configuration directory is empty.

You may have a network configuration file that was created using
systemd-networkd.

It is strongly recommended to migrate to netplan, which is now the
default network configuration system in newer releases of Ubuntu.

While you can leave your configuration as-is, please note that you
will not be able to use additional IPs properly.

If you wish to continue and force the installation,
run this script with -f option:
Example: bash hst-install-ubuntu.sh --force

I found this issue from 3 years ago. However no real solution on fixing it.

I did have this issue previously, and saw I tried the following:

    1  apt update
    2  apt upgrade
    3  apt remove systemd-networkd
    4  apt install netplan
    5  sudo apt install netplan.io
    6  systemctl enable --now systemd-networkd && systemctl disable --now networking
    7  systemctl mask networking
    8  apt purge ifupdown
    9  netplan generate
   10  netplan
   11  sudo systemctl status systemd-networkd
   12  ll /etc/netplan/*.yaml
   13  sudo udevadm control --reload
   14  systemctl status sshd
   15  netplan generate

however this time I kept being told Failed to send reload request: No such file or directory

Just run bash hst-install.sh -f …

It will bypass the netplan check
