Network interfaces are not configured on Dapper live CDs

[Philippe Joyez]

running dapper flight3 liveCD i386 on my dell dimension 9100, I have no network at all working. I had not noticed it was not working in flight2, so I guess it was...

I can provide more details and/or perform tests if needed

running kubuntu dapper flight livecd3, networking is disabled (no eth0 interface) on my computer too.
i have an asus a7n8x deluxe motherboard (nforce2 based) with both nforce and realtek ethernet adapters onboard. pc is connected to a router/dhcp server via the nforce ethernet port. networking works out of the box in breezy.

there is a workaround though!
i can go into the kde system settings > networking > admin mode and enable the two ethernet adapters (they're actually recognized but disabled by default!). then i can run sudo ifup eth0 from a terminal to get an ip from my dhcp server and everything works.

The same situation here: the network card is not configured by default, but can be easily configured and activated via System->Administration->Networking.

I can confirm this one for dapper flight 3 live cd

Known issue, it will be discussed on the distro sprint which starts in a bit more than a week.

I am new to Linux but I also use an ethernet router which is on eth1. The live cd, version 5.10, seems to be looking at eth0. As a result, I cannot access the internet and have been unable to change this situation. Naturally, the system also fails to set the clock. On one attempt to correct the problem, I was asked the network name. The default is Ubuntu But I used the MS default of MShome. I made the name change but could still not access eth1 and the internet. I am running a Dell Inspirion 9200 laptop computer. There are a total of five computers on the network.

Also I'm using Dapper upgraded from a 5.04, and doesn't bring up any interface, neither eth0 nor loopback.

I can configure them later on the console.

This bug is about the live CD, which I sincerely hope you've not
upgraded from 5.04. :-)

I'm also using the Dapper Drake Live CD (Flight 3) with a Dell Dimension 2400 Series and had to go into network settings and activate my ethernet card at eth0, it wasn't configured during the boot up.

Fixed in casper 1.29

hold down the alt key, then click the window and you can drag it upwards
until you can push the admin button.
