Ubuntu – Cloud-init-nonet

cloudmaasnetworking

I have the problem someone pointed in the forum. But I see everyone have this problem with VM machines. In my case is with bare metal:

When I start the machine I see cloud-init-nonet waiting for network.

--------------------------------
cloud-init-nonet[164.54]: gave up waiting for a network device.

Is almost the same thing as seen here:

https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/28297/cloud-init-nonet-waiting-and-fails/

I also tried to explain in this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1345433

As I told in the bug it seems to me that openvswitch is not started in order. But I don't know. Maybe it's just my network config that's relaying on openvswitch db.

My config is rather simple /etc/network/interfaces:

### This does nothing, but left here for future reference. It should work. It's supposed to be openvswitch support on startup
allow-ovs br-ext
iface br-ext inet manual
        ovs_type OVSBridge
        ovs_ports eth0


# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
        up ifconfig $IFACE 0.0.0.0 up
        up ip link set $IFACE promisc on
        down ip link set $IFACE promisc off
        down ifconfig $IFACE down

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual 
        up ifconfig $IFACE 0.0.0.0 up
        down ifconfig $IFACE down


#This also does nothing as br-int is not created when this script is executed
auto br-int
iface br-int inet dhcp

Any help on how to solve this? This really messes my startup so much that I'm thinking about removing MAAS and reinstall without the cloud-init stuff.

This works for me:

  1. login with :gui by login/pass: vagrant/vagrant
  2. modify the /etc/rc.local file to include the line sh /etc/init.d/networking restart just before exit 0
  3. disable :gui
  4. vagrant up or vagrant reload
