[02:43] <mybalzitch> I sure do like the Ubuntu server installer
[09:48] <deemand> I can't install Ubuntu Server 18.04 on a machine with no enabled network card. Is this a known issue, or is there a way I can work around this inconvenience?
[12:04] <deemand> It doesn't work with 18.04, the installer will throw me in a loop. However, I got it working with the less fancy 18.10 installer.
[16:31] <teward> deemand: if you are using the 18.04.1 live installer, then yes, that won't work it needs networking to work.  If you're using the 18.04 alternate installer it should work
[16:42] <deemand> teward: It doesn't mention that it's a live installer on the download page. It's a 800 MB image, it shouldn't require a network connection just to set up a system. If I had wanted that I would have picked the network install image. This is not a feature.
[16:43] <teward> deemand: i didn't create the ISOs, don't shoot me :P
[16:44] <teward> I'm not a fan of it either, but I work with mostly VMs nowadays, so I just created one VM with the ISO and clone that template around :P
[16:58] <deemand> The bad thing was that the installer didn't even give feedback. I also missed the feature to set up a KVM host at install time. I'm not sure why that was cancelled either. And I really don't shoot or aim at random people.
[18:14] <tomreyn> the network requirement is bug 1750819
[18:15] <tomreyn> deemand: ^
[18:36] <deemand> tomreyn: Thank you. I see it's all been discussed before, so the community is aware of that matter. It's alright then.
