Bug Description
Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 LTS
There appears to be a bug in subiquity regarding the automatic configuration of the network parameters via DHCP.
As the screenshots show, during the installation of Ubuntu Server 18.04.1 LTS, an IP address is assigned to the server via DHCP. When running the Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 LTS installer on the same server (see the trailing end of the MAC addresses) with the same (default) settings, no IP address is assigned during the network setup.
As this bug appeared in Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 LTS, while it is not present in Ubuntu Server 18.04.1 LTS, it seems to be a regression bug in subiquity.
Information about the NIC in question can be found here: https:/
That's strange, the dhcp part is all handled by systemd-networkd really so I don't think any subiquity changes here are very relevant. Is there anything revealing in the journal or syslog?
