Based on the problems that Saqlain had (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2012-December/014092.html) and I initially had with Ubuntu core and using apt-get, I am wondering if Ubuntu Core should include 'net-tools' (or a minimalist version) to allow Ubuntu Core to be booted on a device and to actually be able to setup, and connect to an Ubuntu archive server to pull from?
Or, would it be better for this to be mentioned in the Ubuntu Core Wiki page. Because, by the example's given, one would expect that apt-get would work in a newly set-up Ubuntu Core environment, but without the ability to set up a network (or to resolve an ip address to verify), this can sometimes cause connection failures (I had success on one system's chroot, on another failure). New users to Ubuntu Core can sometime come to think something is broken in Ubuntu Core, when in fact it is simply their chroot or virtual system not set up to connect to the network. (I don't think you need dnsutils though to resolve an IP address, that's part of the Standard C Library, or the C Library, which ever term applies to the actual libc.so.6) Any suggestions? -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
