Systemback

network interfaces file is overwritten by a default when creating an iso?

Asked by fossfreedom

I'm trying to create a static /etc/network/interfaces config which is preserved when an iso is created.

However it appears that isomaster is replacing this file with a default:

"
foss@ubuntu:/etc/network$ more interfaces
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
foss@ubuntu:/etc/network$ "

is this a correct observation?

Any thoughts upon how I can preserve the customised interfaces file when an iso is generated by systemback?

Yes, this is happen because the /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/23networking Casper script. Just remove execute permissions (chmod 644) before creating Live image. Or just see the file contents and use 'STATICIP' variable with 'frommedia' value.

yes - thanks again.

setting the grub boot option "ip=frommedia" did the trick.

cheers!
