Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Ubiquity (here - the KDE version, but should be the same uon GNOME)
fails to recognize a connected internet when the connection is
established AFTER the start of ubiquity.
Scenario (as I did): unlug your internet, start the (K)Ubuntu CD, select
Install (without testing first, so you can't restart ubiquity easily), go to
the first page.
It tells you thet there is no internet connection available. You now recognize
this and plug in your connection (because maybe you forgot to start the
modem/router etc.) - ubiquity denies to recognize this change, even clicking on
back/forward does not make a change.
The average user has to reboot.
I don't know how ubiquity checks for the internet connection, but can it
be done by hotplugging check?
