  • Install testing/trixie 2023-08-31, IPv6/v4 issue, tasksel base system o

    From Axel Kittenberger@21:1/5 to All on Thu Aug 31 10:50:01 2023
    Hi guys,

    I just tried to install trixie with todays image 2023-08-31 (netinstall)
    in a virtual machine:

    Following issues to report:

    1) Detect network got a local link IPv6 address, but not an IPv4 (likely
    DHCP not configured correctly on my part). The installer asked me for
    DNS servers, and out of habit I put in the IPv4 addresses. The issue is unlikely previous installers the installer didn't ask for a IPv4 address
    (also fine), however obviously later it will not be able to connect to a repository.  -> took me a little while figure out i had to put in the
    IPv6 addresses for DNS ---> Suggestion: warn the user if not IPv4
    address was acquired by DHCP and they put in only IPv4 DNS Servers.

    2) tasksel in installer only offered "Base system", no usual options of graphical desktop.

    3) grub would not install complaining it cannot mount /target/proc
    (albeit it is mounted)

    I will just continue/workaround installing bookworm first and then
    upgrade to trixie.

    Kind regards,
    - Axel

    I guess the installer had no working network at this point, due to the
    DHCP/DNS server address issues stated above?

    In that case, it's expected to have only the base-system task available,
    when you use the netinstall image for install.

    3) grub would not install complaining it cannot mount /target/proc
    (albeit it is mounted)

    That's most probably
