Comment 1 for bug 2077194

When installing ubuntu-desktop-minimal it will pull in the "ubuntu-settings" package, installing a Netplan snippet in /usr/lib/netplan/00-network-manager-all.yaml defining the global "renderer: NetworkManager" setting, which will break network configuration when NM is not installed.

To avoid this, you could need to override the global renderer setting in /etc/netplan/01-global-renderer.yaml, e.g:

```
network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
```

Still, Netplan should not crash in such scenarios and we need to fix that.
