Public bug reported: If Ubuntu 10.10 x32 or x64 is NFS booted from live CD image (via PXE boot), then installed from booted up 'liveCD' , eth0 doesn't start automatically.
In the above scenario, the following gets appended to /etc/network/interfaces auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual When the pc reboots after install, this then stops the network coming up with network manager. Removing these two lines fixes the problem as then network manager can sort it out. I believe this is a little bug that is probably easily fixed. (I have tried it on different hardware with same result) ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/717868 Title: NFS boot from live CD , then install, eth0 doesn't start automatically -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
