Robert, can you please provide complete steps to reproduce this bug? My understanding from discussion elsewhere that this is specific to oem- config mode; is that correct?
If your network is incorrectly configured and you have a route to the Internet but traffic is dropped, it is expected that an initial connection to the apt mirror will have to hit a tcp connection timeout (by default, ~128 seconds); so that might qualify as "several minutes". What behavior are you seeing that is "too long", and how long do you expect this to take? ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1766542 Title: Installation blocks when the machine is behind a proxy server Status in OEM Priority Project: Confirmed Status in apt package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in apt source package in Bionic: New Status in ubiquity source package in Bionic: New Bug description: When the machine is behind a proxy server, the installation will block for a while (several minutes) to retrieve the package lists. The timeouts are too long and makes user feels the machine may have some problems. The symptom is similar with bug #14599, but it seems the apt-setup module was rewritten. Another method to trigger this issue is to make the machine cannot access to the Internet, for instance: a wrong gateway.
