I understand that the first time after installation it makes sense for the system to wait for a network connection before booting. If the installer removes the line in /etc/network/interfaces telling the system about networks most users won't ever find out about this. But - What happens if somebody just needs a line in /etc/network/interfaces. Or - as I did - added a static network communication to avoid problems with the router or because it was needed to get the system in a sane state again after one updates from one ubuntu alpha to another?
Since the user won't know the reason why the system is waiting for a network and other OSes have strange boot delays that seem to have been introduced intentionally chances aren't 100% that he will eventually end up here and know what to do to fix the problem. -- 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
