only-ubiquity mode should start networking

[Mario Limonciello]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

ubiquity version 1.11.16
alpha6 candidate disks from 03/11/09.

During the lifetime of 9.04 at some point the priority if NetworkManager was reduced (likely to speed up boots). Unfortunately this has the effect of resurrecting the symptoms of bug 277302.

Since NetworkManager's priority is after gdm, there is no place that the ubiquity init script could be placed to ensure it started up after NetworkManager.

I propose starting the NetworkManager init script from either the ubiquity init script or ubiquity-dm.

Agreed, but we really should have a better solution for networking in only-ubiquity mode for cases where interaction is needed (wireless networks).

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 1.11.18

  * broken_packages is fairly slow due to having to iterate over the whole
    cache. Speed it up a bit by stopping when the number of broken packages
    found reaches cache._depcache.BrokenCount; this improves blacklist
    calculation time for the previously-mentioned DVD English-only install
    from 3:30 to 2:30 (see LP #335596).
  * GTK frontend:
    - Restore set_window_hints method for use by windows other than the main
      one (it was still called in the Glade file), just in case we're using
      a window manager that pays attention to this. In these cases
      maximisation doesn't really make sense so we no longer permit that.

  * Fix a bit of code that wasn't updated to reflect other changes in
    remove_extras (LP: #342319).
  * Start NetworkManager before ubiquity in only-ubiquity mode
    (LP: #340929).
  * Support the new partman/unmount_active question.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: grub-installer
    1.36ubuntu3, partman-base 129ubuntu2, partman-target 58ubuntu5.
