ubiquity-dm in debian could not launch a NetworkManager (patch inside)

[Vitaly Petrov]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

In file debian/init network-manager is started without checking its existence. I propose to change the line

  start|force-start)
    /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start
    log_begin_msg "Starting Ubiquity..."

such

  start|force-start)
    [ -x /etc/init.d/NetworkManager ] && /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start
    [ -x /etc/init.d/network-manager ] && /etc/init.d/network-manager start
    log_begin_msg "Starting Ubiquity..."

This will allow more work to ubiquity-dm as in ubuntu and debian.

Similar patch applied, thanks.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 1.12.6

ubiquity (1.12.6) jaunty; urgency=low

  * GTK frontend:
    - Copy-and-paste gdm-signal from powermanagement-interface, since that
      package is no longer in main and is slated to go away. In future we
      ought to be able to use gnome-session D-BUS calls or similar for this
      work (LP: #357101).
  * Use gksudo --preserve-env / sudo -E so that we can check DESKTOP_SESSION
    from the GTK frontend, and use other desktop environment variables in
    future.
  * Try a couple of different locations for NetworkManager's init script
    (LP: #356813).
  * Sync with console-setup 1.28ubuntu8: treat the Kazakhstan layout (kz) as
    non-Latin (LP: #356816).
  * Work around a debconf bug which broke the default time zone for some
    countries: REGISTER does not appear to give a newly-registered question
    the same default as the question associated with its template, unless we
    also RESET it, so do that (LP: #356794).
  * Update translations from Launchpad.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: base-installer
    1.98ubuntu6, console-setup 1.28ubuntu8, flash-kernel 2.13ubuntu6,
    partman-auto 84ubuntu3, partman-base 129ubuntu7, partman-target
    58ubuntu7, user-setup 1.23ubuntu18.

  * Provide translation support for the format warning on the automatic
    partitioning page, and make it less tied to English grammar. Thanks
    Timo Jyrinki (LP: #356333).
  * Only show the migration-assistant page if we have items we can
    import.
  * Don't let the time zone map image grow larger than the original.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: migration-assistant
    0.6.4.
