Clint: good point about annoying vs safer. Overall, I don't think we know, at installation time, what the user intends to do. In my case, for instance, I never intended to create any static connection. Actually, I configured a DHCP ethernet connection. I really had no intention of persisting the connection, and such is the case of other folks commenting in the related bug reports. Of course, other people will be setting up servers in some large institutions/corporation, and they deserve to be
So, yes, I think the best way to handle this is by explicitly asking the user before leaving the installation. The simpler installer doesn't hardcode ethernet connections, so the bulk of the users are not a concern. And the folks doing a custom install won't mind an extra question. Should I update the bug description along these? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/847782 Title: installer writes a permanent ethernet entry in interfaces file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/847782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
