Let's use bug 2050884 to track the server issue. And keep this issue for improving the way gnome-initial-setup handles an inability to send data to the server.
** No longer affects: ubuntu-report (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gnome-initial-setup (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-report in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2049670 Title: noble: gnome-initial-setup 20 second delay & error popup Status in gnome-initial-setup package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When GNOME Initial Setup is run in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (the current development release), when clicking Next on the "Help improve Ubuntu" screen, the Initial Setup pauses for 20 seconds then shows a popup dialog (screenshot attached). This happens regardless of whether Yes or No is chosen on that screen. Sometimes, the app might go to the next screen and close the popup dialog itself.
