[Bug 1008707] Re: Ubiquity fails to detect active internet connection

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

Thanks for your report.

I duplicated your other reports because they are all caused by a non-
working network connection.

The following message is displayed in syslog
Jun  4 15:29:01 ubuntu ntpdate[2249]: Can't find host ntp.ubuntu.com: Name or service not known (-2)

Your system is unable to do DNS resolution. According to the log, the nameserver is set to 10.0.2.2#53
Is this nameserver working properly on your network ?
