Neon_Unstable_20240225 ISO broken

Help
7

The bug is in the main.py file. Editing the file as follow allows Calamares to complete the install (neon-Unstable 20240225_ISO).

The bug is also in the latest neon-Testing ISO.

Before launching the install edit the main.py file. Save, exit and run Calamares after.

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/calamares/modules/networkcfg/main.py

Delete line 141 to 161

   # Set NetworkManager to be the default renderer if Netplan is installed
    # TODO: We might rather do that inside the network-manager package, see:
    # https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-settings/+bug/2020110

    # Copy existing Netplan configuration

Copy this to Line 141:

for cfg in glob.glob(os.path.join(source_netplan, “90-NM-*”)):

End result: Line 140 to 146:

if os.path.exists(source_netplan) and os.path.exists(target_netplan):
   for cfg in glob.glob(os.path.join(source_netplan, "90-NM-*")):
        source_cfg = os.path.join(source_netplan, cfg)
        target_cfg = os.path.join(target_netplan, os.path.basename(cfg))

        if os.path.exists(target_cfg):
            continue

The new file has 167 lines. 1 addition, 21 deletions.

This solution comes from the main.py file neon-Dev_ISO 20240207.

All the best,
