Comment 0 for bug 1816197

Installation of Ubuntu 19.04 (disco-desktop-amd64.iso, daily build 2019-02-03 10:50) hangs for around 20 minutes, between the Disk Setup and the Timezone step. This happens regardless of whether having clicked to install straight away, or from a live desktop session.

From a live desktop session, the journal shows the following error (datetime obviously changes) which loops continuously for the duration of the installation 'hang':
