2012-12-15 14:38:14 Brian Murray description I have built a USB-Stick to install Ubuntu Server Precise Alpha 1 64 Bit based on the precise-alpha-1-amd64 ISO image. Installation works but the netcfg component segfaults! The installer screen shows an error.

SRU Justification: [Impact] netcfg will segfault if users use this feature in the preseed file. [Test Case] 1) Add the following lines to your preseed file of your Ubuntu installation target: # Disable network configuration entirely. This is useful for cdrom # installations on non-networked devices where the network questions, # warning and long timeouts are a nuisance. d-i netcfg/enable boolean false d-i netcfg/get_hostname string BLABLABLA d-i netcfg/get_hostname seen true 2) Start the installation that refers to this seed file. 3) Wait until netcfg will load. => When loading the netcfg module, the installer will report an error (red message box). In the log console you will find a segfault message in the netcfg execution as mentioned above. [Regression Potential] This change removes an extra hostname variable definition that is defined in netcfg.c. This extra definition actually assigns NULL to the pointer, causing a segfault when that memory location is accessed. The hostname is defined externally to that file and is the correct variable to reference.
