Public bug reported:
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...
2024-04-16 - 02:17:35 (start of calamares)
2024-04-16 - 12:17:43 (calamares switched to local time I assume)
2024-04-16 - 12:48:06 (end calamares)
So ~thirty minutes to install, I didn't let it sit at any dialog.. just
selected items & continued...
This box may not be quick... but I believe issue is mostly internet
speed & what is required to be downloaded.. something we can't do much
about it..
Is a release note worth including??
Could a end-user think the install has failed is looping, when in fact
it isn't....
I don't see how we can change anything, as even viewing the messages
calamares provides I didn't see progress for near 10 mins... thus why
I opened terminal & starting watching progress via `iotop`
