Appliance mode: UMC should warn if no DHCP address could be received
Last modified: 2014-09-10 17:46:11 CEST
UMC should warn if the network is set to DHCP and no IP address could be received via DHCP.
When selecting DHCP the query is done directly in the wizard mode. Maybe it would be good to do a query also in the validation but this is time consuming.
This bug is especially critical when DHCP is pre-configured, then there is no chance for a user to see that the network configuration will cause problems. This problem case seems to happen relatively often at the moment with appliance images and pre-installed apps.
UMC now warns the user if DHCP is selected but a link-local address is used on one or more interfaces. Explicit warnings if all interfaces use link-local addresses, internet will not be available.
Please check the translations, the button label "Continue without internet access" is not translated. Otherwise the check worked fine in my tests with multiple interfaces. YAML file → OK Changes merged into UCS4 → FAIL, changes need yet to be cherry picked into UCS 4.0 branch (use svn merge -c ...)
translation is now fixed. merged to ucs 4.0
Changes → OK YAML file → OK Merge to UCS 4.0 → OK → VERIFIED
