Installation stuck on Hyper-V 2019

[Joachim Lindenberg]

I tried to install Ubuntu 22.04 beta as a VM on Hyper-V 2019, and installation is stuck with message "The installer is probing for block devices to install to. Please wait until it completes." I am seeing this message for 24 hours now.
How can I help to get this resolved?
Thanks, Joachim

Ugh that sounds bad! Can you extract the files from /var/log/installer somehow?

This could be https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/1968161 perhaps. Does this happen every time?

Don´t know. When I returned to the VM after getting notification, it was kind of rebootet, but did not accept keyboard input. When I (virtually) power cycled the machine I could proceed with "saved" values, but keyboard was stuck at various places. Then I configured a new VM but also that got stuck, not allowing me to continue through installation at various places. As for keyboard layout, I am using German keyboard. I was able to continue past the disk layout issue, but never able to complete an installation.
I hit send log to Ubuntu at least twice.
I tried this on a different host, and also there keyboard stuck.

tried again just now and got a prompt to upgrade to Subiquity 22.05.1, accepted the upgrade, but still got a stuck installation already during setting up my account.
The installation DVD I obtained from RWTH mirror did not include that version of Subiquity - is this by design?

Subiquity updates are more frequent than ISO rebuilds. So yes, there are no ISOs yet with 22.05.1.

ok, understood. But as 25.01 afai understand includes https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/subiquity/+bug/1968772/comments/3, that fix does not solve my issue.
