I think the integrated webcam cannot cover you and the workstation. The
requirement is to cover the student and the workstation so that the "exam
will be more transparent"

So you really need an external webcam. (No change I believe)

Hi @mirk ,

Yes, a docking station or a USB hub can be used during the exam.

Hi @Ahmed_Elgamala ,

I do not think there is a different download source. I just tried to download the image and had no problems or corruption issues. 
How did you determine the image is corrupted?

i was trying to mount it after failed installation, but i think it's not available because image is encrypted, anyway the boot issue solved after i disable the secure boot option on bios setting

Hi,

I downloaded the Remote Exam ISO, checked that it has the correct md5sum of 0dd72ac558fc1afbf0c0e1fa4b366f10, put it on a USB drive and booted my desktop PC from it.

That all worked fine.

However, I don't get a network connection. The only options presented to me when opening the Network settings in the menu is to setup a VPN connection and a Network Proxy, but no settings for the wired network connection.

I suspect that it is due to the 2.5G NIC that I have on my Gigabyte Mainboard. It is working fine with Fedora 35 and using this driver:

$ lspci -k -s 04:00.0
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller (rev 05)
DeviceName: RTL8111E Giga LAN
Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device e000
Kernel driver in use: r8169
Kernel modules: r8169

Could someone check/verify if this driver is included in the Remote Exam ISO image, please ?

Is there any chance you could provide an updated image that includes this driver by Wednesday COB ? I have my exam Scheduled for Thursday....

As I have scheduled the next Exam I tried again and downloaded the latest ISO today (v20220712, md5sum 478157b7675223468d83253a241a1fd5).

That still doesn't seem to have the required driver included.

Any chance to have a new ISO published that contains this driver, before November 1st ?

"Any chance to have a new ISO published that contains this driver, before November 1st ?"

The current ISO was released recently and I do not PERSONALLY think there will be a new release soon.

On the other hand, your issue is easy to be solved just by using a simple USB to Ethernet adapter. 

Something similar to this:
https://www.amazon.com/ethernet-Adapter-Supporting-Ethernet-Network/dp/B084MCVVP9/ref=sr_1_9?crid=2W...

100Mbps version is more likely to be compatible and is fine for the exam. The price is under 10 USD. I had even seen some for 5 USD only.

I hope this helps

Yes, I was thinking about a USB <-> ETH Adapter as well already.

Or, alternatively, use an old(er) PC for the exam, which I already did before.

But obviously I would like the driver to be added, so I thought it might be worth to ask, as my last Exam is some months ago now.
