[Chris Guiver]

Lubuntu full install to
- hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 8gb, amd/ati rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)

testcase: FULL, no-encryption, BIOS, internet, swap, updates

snap-seed-glue --seed /tmp/calamares-root-r00b_jf2/var/lib/snapd/seed krita</i> failed to finish in 600 seconds

I've had a number of timeout type issues on this old core2duo box recently

On reboot of install, system looks good (I didn't bother checking for the optional components given error..) but standard Lubuntu which even had all updates applied!! was there...

EXCEPT no /var/log/installer/ or components; expected given calamares abended with error

duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/2062106 maybe???

that message says 900 secs (not 600) ... is there a condition for time of internet (900 for wifi; 600 for cable here.. but cause I see as identical)

I don’t know which version of cala-settings you had but we did swap from 600 to 900 so probably a dupe. Let’s keep the newer/longer one.
