So I apologizing for the invalid status on the previous bug. I think it
was a bit premature, although it may be appropriate after all. Let me
explain a bit.

First off, as you can see in the issue, the problem was one specific to the 
GeoIP provider we were using, ipapi.co:
https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1540

You will also see there that as of v3.2.32 of Calamares that there is now 
additional debug information (mentioned in the issue):
https://github.com/calamares/calamares/commit/d63e23b289f1f285d190c711ee296778bb7f5259

Unfortunately, that doesn't exist in versions before Hirsute, so I can't
very well confirm that is the situation in this case, but it is highly
likely.

Additionally, the two changes that resulted in using Ubuntu's GeoIP service 
that are ultimately the fix for this problem weren't added until after Focal:
https://phab.lubuntu.me/rCALASETTINGS01c0bcafc8f3b7c089a7e7d9a6ca2cb4b793e009
https://phab.lubuntu.me/rCALASETTINGS63230172e442ac55db7bc3ba0bd54f842c210edd

tl;dr if we're going to fix this, it would have to be via an SRU of
calamares-settings-lubuntu. The problem is getting it on the ISO. That
is much harder. I guess we could get it in a point release, but is that
worth the effort? I'm kind of thinking not.
