2024-04-16 03:04:15 Chris Guiver description This is NOT a bug that can be fixed with code. At most a fix maybe a line in the release notes, that selecting all 3rd party software for inclusion can be SLOW IF you're using 3rd-world, some aussie NBN or other older/slower internet connections (or just infrastructure at canonical end anyway). This report has been filed ONLY for timing purposes; so I can look, and have record of how long install actually took (with calamares running)... A watched kettle always appears to take longer to boil... I was sitting watching this install & for a long time is stayed at 90% with slideshow repeating... I switched to show all messages and it didn't scroll up for maybe 10 mins there either.. I actually CTRL+ALT+T and opened a terminal, made it full screen on this boxes other display & `sudo apt install iotop` and let that run... From there I could see downloads taking place (thru write) & eventually notice `snap download` progress to next page (krita, kf5 etc)... but the installer window remained at 90%.. then eventually 92%... | Many users may assume the installer is 'looping' or dead...
