Public bug reported: During the 13.10 cycle, some changes were made to the server installer that (from what I understand) allow the driver-injection-disk udeb to be loaded by default. Before that, one had to pass such boot parameters such as "anna/choose_modules=driver-injection-disk-detect" on the kernel command line in order for any driver disks to get loaded up. Also, the user will be propmted to install the drivers once the disk is detected.
With the current 13.10 installer, it looks like I still have to pass the "anna/choose_modules" parameter. If I don't, my driver disk won't get picked up automatically and I'm not prompted to install any drivers. If I do supply that parameter, then I'm asked the question and my driver packages get loaded up. Here was the change that was put in: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/saucy/hw-detect /saucy-proposed/revision/61 * Bump question to load driver injection disk from medium to high, and raise driver-injection-disk package priority to standard. Thus the udeb will be loaded by default, but before installing any debs from the OEMDRV a confirmation question will be asked (default true, can be pre-seeded) ** Affects: hw-detect (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1243375 Title: 13.10 Server installer doesn't load driver-injection-disk package by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hw-detect/+bug/1243375/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
