Univention Bugzilla – Bug 35731
installation without network configuration fails
Last modified: 2014-11-26 06:55:35 CET
Skipped the network configuration in the installer, but than firefox (USS) complains about cannot establish connection to the server at localhost
Maybe startxwithfirefox could check if a network connection exists and don't set the/some blacklist variables if not.
What did the old installer: * always ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up * configured a dummy interface if no interfaces could be found (modprobe dummy) * required the configuration of eth0 (static or dhcp) * used a link local address if no dhcp address was offered see, univention-installer/sbin/univention-installer-network-startup
As discussed a few minutes ago: - it should not be possible to skip network configuration (the user has to do it manually or via DHCP) - if a interface is present (eth0), a link local address should be used as fallback if no address has been assigned by a DHCP server. In this case, a warning should be shown to the user. - if no ethernet interface is present, the installer should show a message and block the installation.

OK, I wasn't able to continue with a network card.
