Re: [PLUG] Ubuntu 26.10 breaks init.d

Martin,

+1 , once systemd because the default, I enabled rc.local as needed.

The netplan vs /etc/network/interface switch has been interesting.  On some newer systems I do have some netplan configs but I've also noticed that doing release upgrades to the next LTS, so far, all my pre-netplan configs have continued to work.  Not sure why that is (or care for now since I don't fix things that aren't broke) but I'm guessing at some point, I'll have to convert those.

/etc/rc.local or bust!
