That script is already installed with network-manager as: /usr/lib/NetworkManager/ifblacklist_migrate.sh Not the most discoverable thing, but it does the job. > One way or the other, I think we need to provide an easy fix for the > average user hit by this (and having the typical home networking > connection, which doesn't need any customization of the interfaces > file). Otherwise, we'll be one step further from fixing bug #1 :) More important is making sure people understand that this is the reason things are booting slow for them. I'm not convinced that normal installs lead to 'auto ethX' in /etc/network/interfaces. Only installs that started life without network-manager will have it, which is certainly not the norm. -- 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/netcfg/+bug/847782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
