Apparently breaking several tests including Colima https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/actions/runs/26789894308/job/78973801469?pr=5070 |
On ubuntu-26.04, systemd-networkd-wait-online is configured by netplan to wait for eth0 before it exists. On first boot the NIC is still enp0s1 — the udev rename hasn't happened yet — causing a 120s timeout. Marking the slirp NIC as optional (netplan optional: true -> RequiredForOnline=no in systemd-networkd) tells wait-online to not block on eth0, so boot completes immediately. The interface is still renamed to eth0 after boot, preserving existing behaviour for all other tools. Fixes: lima-vm#4792 Signed-off-by: Ramadhan Gerry Akbar <ramadhan.gerry@gmail.com>

…boot delay" optional: true causes systemd-networkd-wait-online to complete before DHCP assigns an IP on some distro/driver combinations (observed: ubuntu-25.10 on vz), breaking Lima's SSH connectivity to the VM. Both approaches tried so far (removing set-name, adding optional: true) are too broad — they affect all distros since network-config has no per-distro awareness. Reverting until a targeted fix is found. Signed-off-by: Ramadhan Gerry Akbar <ramadhan.gerry@gmail.com>

What This PR Changes
Skips
set-namefor Lima's built-in slirp NIC in thenetwork-configcloud-init template. Also removes a hardcodedeth0interface name from the proxy-settings check inhack/test-templates.sh.Linked Issue
Closes #4792
How I Tested This
Verified the template renders correctly (unit tests pass). End-to-end boot test on a fresh
template:ubuntu-26.04instance is required to confirm the 2-minute delay is gone — I don't have an environment to run that locally
