Greetings @Michael Vogt
I just applied for the ubuntu mentors program, and saw this bug and figured I'd give it a shot. Here is my solution: I noticed this program supports third party plugins. Specifically, it says to put a script in the folder /usr/share/recovery-mode/options and that the script will show up in the main menu of the recovery screen. So I created a script that comes up in the recovery screen called netroot which basically starts a /sbin/sulogin, but starts dhclient eth0 before it, to assign your eth0 interface a DHCP address. I tested it a few times and it works, I was able to reach the internet and, more importantly, make apt-get work. The script is attached, but what do I do now? How do I get this added to the package? Is it good enough, or am I off base here? Thank you for your time. ** Attachment added: "script that adds the option of root shell with networking for the friendly-recovery package" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18838689/netroot -- Network not available in Hardy Heron 8.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244885 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
