Useful for bringing up what will eventually be headless devices the first time. 58936 1 ross.burton 2016-02-11 23:25:56 +0000 In Sato the IP configuration should be in the network settings in the panel, and obviously ifconfig works at the console. Can you elaborate on your thoughts? Personally for this sort of thing I use mDNS and give the device a sensible name. By default the hostname is the MACHINE (ie qemux86) but this is trivially changed. All of my images have the hostname "bob" (hostname_pn-base-files = "bob" in local.conf) so if I can just do ssh bob.local or go to http://bob.local/. 59184 2 jku 2016-02-18 09:10:01 +0000 What Ross said: it's not really clear what the missing feature is. 59189 3 chrislord.net 2016-02-18 09:39:41 +0000 I hadn't thought of mDNS when I filed this, but my thought was pretty much it would be helpful for bringing up networked devices that are intended to be headless, but are still work-in-progress. Having a screen is surely awkward enough without having to also find a keyboard and type things. Like Ross said, mDNS is a much nicer solution, but it still might be nice to list interface information on login screens so that you don't need to interact with a machine to find its IP. Feel free to close this as WONTFIX, it's not really an issue for me anymore :) 60501 4 sjolley.yp.pm 2016-03-29 18:27:36 +0000 It appears that the information has been provided. 60520 5 jku 2016-03-30 08:55:37 +0000 This is not happening for 2.1. Moving to 2.2: if I find an easy way to provide this info, I'll try it. I will not spend a lot of time though: as Ross mentioned, mdns is an alternative and IMO better solution: it even works on headless devices. The only drawback currently is the small amount of required configuration. 60739 6 ross.burton 2016-04-04 13:10:24 +0000 mDNS works out of the box if you ensure avahi-daemon is installed on the target. 63532 7 jku 2016-06-30 15:21:43 +0000 I think wontfix is the realistic resolution instead of pushing the milestone further (especially since everyone involved seems fine with it).
