[Bug 2061711] Re: lubuntu noble - full (inc. 3rd party) install is kinda slow
This bug is certainly worth noting, but I do not believe anything can really be done about it. The problem comes down to, how do we get the software the user is willing to install? We could put it in a layered or separately-mounted squashfs, but that is unfair to users who just want a normal install, especially if we want to be able to extend these options next cycle. Also, if no network access is available at all, these options are completely hidden anyway. ** Changed in: calamares (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2061711 Title: lubuntu noble - full (inc. 3rd party) install is kinda slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/2061711/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 2061711] Re: lubuntu noble - full (inc. 3rd party) install is kinda slow
Of no importance.. but the 10 mins nothing will likely be
2024-04-16 - 12:32:43 [6]: .. Running ("/bin/sh", "-c", "snap-seed-glue
--seed /tmp/calamares-root-hazyaxmi/var/lib/snapd/seed krita")
2024-04-16 - 12:45:09 [6]: .. Running ("/bin/sh", "-c", "snap-seed-glue
--seed /tmp/calamares-root-hazyaxmi/var/lib/snapd/seed thunderbird")
after krita I noticed (& mentioned) a kf5 snap.. but that detail would
have come from my viewing `iotop` and the `snap download` command that
showed there.

[Bug 2061711] Re: lubuntu noble - full (inc. 3rd party) install is kinda slow
Hey Chris, If this isn't something that can be fixed with code or with a package update, and while I don't feel like it is something that *can't* be fixed, I think the status needs to be "Opinion" because it's certainly worthy of discussion. ** Changed in: calamares (Ubuntu) Status: New => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2061711 Title: lubuntu noble - full (inc. 3rd party) install is kinda slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/2061711/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 2061711] Re: lubuntu noble - full (inc. 3rd party) install is kinda slow
** Description changed:
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%... |
+ notice `snap download` progress to next package (krita, kf5 etc)... but
+ the installer window remained at 90%.. 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`
