Hallo
Installer start as usual, I can choose the language (english) and click Next, the computer is already connected to the net, I check the two checkbox for the updates and the third party software and click continue, the button is oranged, the pointer is spinning, but nothing more.
It download the requested softwares and hang in that loop without exit.
The system still usable.
After 30 inutes I stop the installer
Thanks
Fabio

**Update**
When it has completed all the downloads, if we restart Ubiquity, it will work.
