[Bug 1020992] Re: installation hang in clock_gettime if connected to net

[Brian Murray]

This looks rather odd:

Jul  4 15:30:52 ubuntu ubiquity: debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
Jul  4 15:30:52 ubuntu ubiquity: debconf: (Dialog frontend will not work on a dumb terminal, an emacs shell buffer, or without a controlling terminal.)
Jul  4 15:30:52 ubuntu ubiquity: debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline
Jul  4 15:30:52 ubuntu ubiquity: debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Readline
Jul  4 15:30:52 ubuntu ubiquity: debconf: (This frontend requires a controlling tty.)

  Hallo
  Installer start as usual, I can choose the language (english) and click Next, the computer is already connected to the net, I check the two checkbox for the updates and the third party software and click continue, the button is oranged, the pointer is spinning, but nothing more.
  It download the requested softwares and hang is that loop without exit if not disposable.
  The system still usable.
  After 30 inutes I stop the installer
  Thanks
  Fabio
