Re: stretch orca and wifi connection setup

Hi, Why not have options in the installer at low priority about putting the information into the interfaces file and setting up the wireless connections for command line users as this is why lots of people who I know don't use Debian with the command line as it would make sence if wireless was working during the installation it should be working after the installation and if they only have one computer and they are installing only Debian it is kind of tricky to research on line when internet is not working and no document is on the system to help out the new user?

Yes, that's why that happened. Command line users now need to roll their own /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf files. On Mon, 12 Dec 2016, Nick Gawronski wrote:

Hi, Is this also the reason when I used the week build of November 28th, 2016 and did not install any desktop no wireless network was setup? I think there should be an option to ask the user about this issue as I myself would be ok for this to be done on my personal laptop? Nick Gawronski

Hello,

FTR, the issue about the debian installer not configuring the wifi on
the installed system is
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=694068
the main issue is that when network-manager is not getting installed,
one would have to write the wifi password in the world-readable
/etc/network/interfaces , which is not something one usually wants to
do, and from there it's currently a statu quo.
