VirtualBox not allowing to delete a snapshot

Today I got an error while trying to delete a VirtualBox snapshot :
"Failed to delete the snapshot XXXX of the virtual machine YYYY" (english)
"Échec de la suppression de l'instantané XXXX de la machine virtuelle YYYY" (french)
Hard disk 'XXXX.vdi' has more than one child hard disk (2).
In the snapshot manager, there were only two snapshots linked to my virtual machine.
I could delete the newest one, but I was not able to delete the oldest one/root snapshot.

To resolve this issue, I went to the "File > Virtual Media Manager" menu, then the [Hard Disks] tab and I've expanded the tree under my virtual machine.
I've deleted one snapshot that was not linked to any virtual machine, or snapshot.
After what I was able to delete my oldest/root snapshot.

To fix this issue, simply edit the file /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and change the following configuration to be inline with: [ifupdown] managed=true Then restart the Network Manager : sudo service NetworkManager restart #1

ubuntu 20.04 / netplan / change mac address and static ip

I wasn't able to set together a virtual mac address and a static IP using netplan: either the mac address didn't change, or IP was not set. I finally got the trick using a fake nic definition that matches the new virtual mac address I've set.    network:   renderer: networkd   ethernets:     ens160:       match:         macaddress: 00:0c:29:5a:69:00       macaddress: 00:50:56:0c:de:a6     ens160_2:       match:         macaddress: 00:50:56:0c:de:a6        addresses: [ 139.99.5.72/32 ]       nameservers:         addresses: [ 8.8.8.8 ]       routes:       - to: 0.0.0.0/0         via: 139.99.5.254         on-link: true     ens192:       addresses: [192.168.103.14/24]       #dhcp4: true   version: 2
