Ubuntu Server 18.04.1 - error in network definition when trying to set static IP with sudo netplan apply












1














I get this error when trying to set static IP with the command sudo netplan apply:
Error in network definition //etc/netplan/50-cloud.init.yaml line 5 column 34: expected scalar



Here's what my config file looks like:



network:
ethernets:
enp5s0:
dhcp4: no
addresses: [192.168.85.17/24]
gateway4: [192.168.85.19]
nameservers: [8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4]
optional: true
version: 2

gateway4 takes an address, not a list of addresses. So the syntax should be:
gateway4: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
