Hi All,
Are there any known issues with a 12.04 headless install?
I did an install with a fairly recent snapshot, install started ok and live cd booted.
Once I started the install the external network connection couldn't be found.
I was able to bring it up manually and the install continued but once finished I had to modify /etc/network/interfaces. Instead of auto I had to use allow-hotplug for eth0 and eth1 interfaces otherwise my network cards remained off. On power on the cards are active - link and activity leds blinking, then once lmce started to boot both went dark.
There seemed to be a rogue entry in the file, I spotted a similar one from a recent post from @brononius here http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=14051.msg101535#msg101535 its commented out.
udev rules for eth0 and eth1 were pointing to the correct cards.
Then once both interfaces are up I have no routing between them :(
Core can see external and internal, internal devices cannot see beyond core.
Anything else I can check for errors?
Thanks,
-Coley.
Hi,
Can you provide the snapshot ID?
There's a few "recent" out there.
I did 20150427220730636 and it was O.K. for rebuilding my "user" system.
Thanks.
Snap! - LMCE-1204-20150427220730636.iso
Umm, did you install headless or hybrid?
thanks

Hi coley,
I installed hybrid.
I use hybrid as a verification system when troubleshooting MD(s).
In the past this approach has been very helpful.
Cheers.
I always install hybrid, and disable the MD afterwards. That way, I do the 'Sarah Setup' on my core for the initial setup.
I normally install hybrid too, but Sarah normally grabs the first sound card in my core and as a result talks in a different room :)
As plan B I can re-install hybrid - but before I do that, any other files I should check for routing issues?
thanks,
-Coley.
Hi coley,
I've had issues where on 12.04 and 14.04 installs I would have to swap ethernet cables to get networking up.
Othertimes, I would do an install with no network, then reboot.
Sometimes this would give me one ethernet connection and then i would have to swap and reboot to get two ethernet connections.
Hope that works for you.
Cheers.

Sarah will use whatever audio card you configure for the core in avwizard.
