Interestingly enough, the following information was recenly encountered regarding using netplan:

Change your /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml to the following code (and only this)... using sudo -H gedit /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml...

network:
  version: 2
  renderer: NetworkManager

Then, in terminal...

sudo netplan generate # generate config files

sudo netplan apply # apply configuration

note this message appeared but apparently did not apply to desktop configuration:
Cannot call Open vSwitch: ovsdb-server.service is not running.

reboot # reboot the computer

Then use the standard Network Manager GUI to establish a wired/wireless connection.

Note that sudo netplan generate would not execute if .yaml files in /etc/netplan contained a reference to 'random' generated MAC.

Note that sudo netplan would not execute if file permissions in /etc/netplan were too lenieent.

used chown to configure root:root and chmod at 600

It would appear that a routine apt upgrade from network-manager to network-manager/netplan is not making necessary changes/creating needed file structure.

This appears to be a bug, because only manual intervention appears to have enabled netplan to work without error messages and connection failures.

This should be addressed.
