Trying to install 2.8.2 on a HP elitedesk. Booting from USB.
Live image gives me a working network – I can ping the outside world.
Install finds eno0, gets to "Configure the Network" eth0 network and then hangs.
Either I kill the dhcpclient, or wait ages, and it tells me something is incompatible with DHCP???
So, I say skip configuring the network, but later in the install it asks about proxy config.
I leave that blank. Then, it complains "bad archive mirror"
I go back, and say to just do the minimal install, but then it errors on 'grub-efi-amd64'
Hmmm. In this other page
forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...-82-fails-to-install
,
tommylight suggests some BIOS changes (disable security and UEFI).
So, I do that, and the PC complains about some Physical Presence Indicator BS???
Esc out of that, attempt install again (after installing GRUB in Advanced).
It still hangs at configuring the network,
but this time when I killed the dhcpclient processes, it actually had networking!
I could ping the outside world!!!
Which means the install progresses, and I get it there in the end
I was a little alarmed that the install ISO can't actually install without an internet connection, though.
Are all releases like this? Or just the latest Debian?
