[Bug 1824483] Re: Subiquity DHCP bug

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

You can escape to the terminal by switching to another vt with ctrl-
alt-f2 or similar. The files I'd be interested in are /var/log/syslog or
the output of "sudo journalctl".  Of course getting the files off the
server might be fun if the network isn't getting set up, I guess you'll
need to plug another USB drive in or something?

Title:
  Subiquity DHCP bug

Status in subiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 LTS

  There appears to be a bug in subiquity regarding the automatic
  configuration of the network parameters via DHCP.

  As the screenshots show, during the installation of Ubuntu Server
  18.04.1 LTS, an IP address is assigned to the server via DHCP. When
  running the Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 LTS installer on the same server
  (see the trailing end of the MAC addresses) with the same (default)
  settings, no IP address is assigned during the network setup.

  As this bug appeared in Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 LTS, while it is not
  present in Ubuntu Server 18.04.1 LTS, it seems to be a regression bug
  in subiquity.

  Information about the NIC in question can be found here:
