Hi, No you do not need to be connected to the internet during installation. What kind of error did you encounter? can you provide more information, if you would like help on forums such as this, it is always best to provide as much detail as possible. Even the most little detail can be helpful.

If / Can you connect to the internet to do an upgrade, if you have an internet connection does it work ?

Have you read through the There Was An Error Starting The Gnome Setting Deamon (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/4499) ?

What version of Ubuntu did you install ?

Can you connect or ping yourself from a terminal on the loop-back address ?
