Public bug reported: If Internet is present during installation, Calamares will attempt to run `apt update` inside the newly installed system to refresh its software database, allowing it to install packages from the repos if necessary. If any one of the configured repos is not available at installation time, `apt update` will error out, which will crash Calamares. This probably prevents people from installing EOL versions of Lubuntu (or at least makes it more difficult), and has caused real problems for Kubuntu Focus in the past.
https://codeberg.org/Calamares/calamares/commit/7be2900de403c15fffa87843932e8d07bc97c0cc fixes this upstream, by allowing distributions to ignore update failure if they desire. This requires both a Calamares and a calamares-settings- ubuntu change. ** Affects: calamares (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2143847 Title: Installation may crash if repos in apt sources are not available during the software db update step To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/2143847/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
