Description markus.krogemann 2008-05-04 19:50:41 UTC

In manual network setup, a click on 'cancel' leads to ungraceful termination of install script.

Comment 1 markus.krogemann 2008-05-04 19:53:22 UTC

Original entry (219873) is invalid. There, I wrongly described that entering a syntactically wrong IP crashes the script.

In fact, 'cancel' terminates the script ungracefully. What should happen in my view: Either return to previous step or prompt user if network setup should be cancelled really. Script should not terminate.

Comment 2 markus.krogemann 2008-05-04 19:56:34 UTC

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. console-based setup
2. pretty much at end of process, select cancel in manual network setup (specify static IP)
3.

Actual Results:  
python script bails out, prints error message on console.

Expected Results:  
prompt if cancel is really desired, or skip network setup, or go one step back

Fixed in SVN.  Not sure whether it'll make it into the release, not really up to me.  not a critical bug in my opinion.
Thanks for reporting it.
