Re: Lithium installer network configuration issue

It finally got through my thick skull. You were right.
I had it misconfigured correctly. (configured incorrectly)
I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong.

Thanks for trying to help, I am grateful.

Re: Lithium installer network configuration issue

Let's agree to dispense with Networking 101. I've been a computer junky since 1967; and while I don't know everything or even a lot, I've forgotten more than most people know. And you sound like you know what you're talking about...

But let's not forget that other people are reading this thread, and might in the future, hoping to find some hints. It never hurts to be explicit.

^Not bad. It's often tricky deciding what level to respond at, but doesn't hurt to imagine a third-party inexperienced reader. Applies to the respondee too, not to be offended by simple explanations.

Re: Lithium installer network configuration issue

: Installer still failed at the same point. Just like it did for the OP.

You have disabled wifi on the E800 router, now using it as switch?
You can see the ip of E800, and login?
Could you configure the uplink to be merged to your 192.168.0.9 segment och you only use the four lan-ports?

Good you now have a better working network. But, it scratches in my fingers to test if it is possible to iron out remaining problem...

Also still curios; what is "setting BM"? I can not figure it out...

BTW. On many routers (or modems), you can configure static dhcp-leases outside of the dhcp lease range.

O my lan, the dhcp scope set on the router is 150-230. Fixed ip-leases is handed out otuside automaticley assigned adresses. The router even set the ip-adrss of some vitualbox-installations I want to be easy accessible on the lan.

Re: Lithium installer network configuration issue

I had the same problem on a particular network.  Had something to do with ipv6.

Adding ”ipv6.disable=1” to the grub command for the installer entry from the grub menu when you boot the iso worked for me.

I think you hit the “e” key on the installer entry, then it’s like the second line that you’d add “ ipv6.disable=1” towards the end before “quiet”.  Then you press Ctrl-x to boot the modified boot entry.

Thanks!. This has worked for me also, placing "ipv6.disable=1" before " -- quiet"
It seems related to a false detection of IPV6 networking.
OTOH the live version runs fine.

Yes. I wasn't saving changes on each page before going on to the next page. Thinking I'd made changes that didn't stick.

You can see the ip of E800, and login?
Could you configure the uplink to be merged to your 192.168.0.9 segment och you only use the four lan-ports?

Yes. Using all five ports.

Good you now have a better working network. But, it scratches in my fingers to test if it is possible to iron out remaining problem...

Shorthand for bridge mode.

Thanks again for your help.

Re: Lithium installer network configuration issue

Partially solved - I did get the network problem solved by bypassing the stock Spectrum ISP router, and going by cat5 cable directly from the modem to the laptop.

Before I did this with BunsenLabs Lithium, out of curiosity I tried to install the most recent MXLinux 19 on that same partition. It worked, and it installed with it hooked into the router and found the network and accessed it properly. So, that is one of the Debian distros that apparently works with this.

Anyway, I got BunsenLabs Lithium up and running and this is the best-looking version of BL to date...

Re: Lithium installer network configuration issue

To me it could well be a very buggy or misconfigured DHCP server running on that router that's causing the issues.

Re: Lithium installer network configuration issue

The lithium release candidate install is not working properly for me.

This is on a Lenovo T430s with an SSD. It's a quadruple boot on four partitions when I am done. Working fine is Win10, Xubuntu and Mint 19.3 XFCE.

When the Lithium installer gets to configuring the network at the DHPC part, it stops. Up on the screen right now is one line - "Configure the Network." And that is where it stops.

I tried both the graphical install and the text install. Same result on both.

Installing from .iso on USB stick after using dd method to create the USB stick.

Any suggestions?

[ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION]
I had the exact same problem. I solved it by creating a wifi hotspot with android cellphone and when I had to configure the network during installation I chose the newly created hotspot. At this point I was able to complete the installation.
