[Bug 1580591] Re: "activate networking" : broken from recovery mode

[Martin Pitt]

I tested this on current xenial, and my ethernet interface does get
configured via DHCP, through the "ifup -a", it's not yet getting to the
NetworkManager fallback. I then commented out the "ifup -a" from /lib
/recovery-mode/options/network and re-ran it, and NM gets brought up.

So I cannot reproduce this and I need more information what goes wrong
for you. Please start recovery mode, select "root shell", and run

   sh -x /lib/recovery-mode/options/network > /var/tmp/network.debug
2>&1

Then reboot and attach /var/tmp/network.debug here. Thanks!

Title:
  "activate networking" : broken from recovery mode

Status in friendly-recovery package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have found that activating networking from the grub revovery mode is not possibLe.
  So this mode is useless to update/upgrade/fix a broken intallation.
  Maybe it is related to systemd not taking care of the feature.

  Get that probLem with yakkety
