[Bug]: setting up / reconfiguing interfaces

[N4CNR]

What happened?

when you go to networking >basic configuration > select the interface like wlan0 > drop its not dropping the interface config. and on a reboot it comes right back up with dhcp. If you try to resetup the interface it errors out . error goes by to fast to get a copy of it... but now stuckona system where its not allowing me to change settings onthe interface

How to reproduce?

follow steps above

On which OS are you observing this problem? (for easier diagnosis please provide logs with armbianmonitor -u)

Can you provide some logs and content of /etc/netplan/

Hi @igorpecovnik

Since the op didn't went further, let me give it a try on this same thread, i'm having almost the same issue.

When trying to drop or reconfigure the wlan0 interface, from static to dhcp, doesn't matter, these are the logs i'm getting:

(the logs might be duplicated since i'm not sure where it starts)

Cannot call openvswitch: ovsdb-server.service is not running.

Cannot call openvswitch: ovsdb-server.service is not running.

When modifying the netplan yaml file itself it works, but not via armbian-config.

When modifying the netplan yaml file itself it works, but not via armbian-config.

Understand. Can you provide:

• armbianmonitor -u
• steps to reproduce (from clean image)

When trying to drop or reconfigure the wlan0 interface, from static to dhcp

Reconfigure ... let me try.

[pepihub]

https://paste.armbian.com/cidigohufi

steps to reproduce (from clean image)

Armbian image built custom for orangepizero2w, extension preset-firstrun with wifi SSID and password.

Then I just login via SSH and run armbian-config, basic network, try to change the wlan to static instead of dhcp and the log of my previous message shows, then the armbian-config utility shows back with no changes whatsoever.

[igorpecovnik]

This should be fixed now, closing.

[pepihub]

This should be fixed now, closing.

I've tried with the latest version and I still get the same errors as before.

[Strat00s]

I am also getting the exact same errors on Orange Pi Zero 3.

[BstAA]

Problem is still present :-(

See armbian-monitor output and attached console output.
