Public bug reported: If networking is not present on the server omap4 image, package installation will silently fail to install any packages selected for tasksel. The installation will continue without any notification that it has failed, and drop you to a command prompt as per normal installation. However, no selected packages are installed and there is no notification that anything is out of the ordinary. This is a release-critical bug as both offline installation must be supported, and silent failure is not acceptable.
There is no relevant information in any log files created by oem-config. Steps to reproduce: 1. Run through the installation with no ethernet cord 2. Select various tasks to install 3. Complete installation Expected outcome: 1. Selected packages should be installed, or at the very least fail with notification. ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: New ** Tags: iso-testing ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Milestone: None => ubuntu-12.04 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/985280 Title: [omap4] Package installation completely fails silently if no network is available To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/985280/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
