Hello David,

"network-manager.postinst: Don't create /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf override on new installations. We don't want NM to manage non-wifi/wwan on servers/cloud instances, and for desktops live-build now installs a netplan policy snippet to let NM handle all devices."

On our budgie-remix 16.10 alpha our network manager applet is left in a disabled state until we create an empty

/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf

Please can you let me know what package this "netplan policy snippet" is in?

This is done in the image build process: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/livecd-rootfs/trunk/view/head:/live-build/auto/build#L196

This was done over three different commits, of which the first one has the useful changelog, and the other two fix it:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/livecd-rootfs/trunk/revision/1431 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/livecd-rootfs/trunk/revision/1433 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/livecd-rootfs/trunk/revision/1435

This covers the ubiquity-type installations, while the debian-installer type ones got fixed in
