[Bug 1558166] Re: Xenial installer hangs for a long time with "Setting up the clock" message on IPv6-only systems

[Andreas Ntaflos]

We work around this problem by disabling the clock setup during
installation:

d-i clock-setup/utc boolean true
d-i time/zone string Europe/Vienna
d-i clock-setup/ntp boolean false
d-i clock-setup/ntp-server string pool.ntp.org

And after installation Puppet ensures chrony or ntpd are running.

Title:
  Xenial installer hangs for a long time with "Setting up the clock"
  message on IPv6-only systems

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When installing on a IPv6-only system the installer hangs for a long
  time on "Setting up the clock" step with "Getting the time from a
  network time server...". Hitting "Cancel" have no effect.

  Eventually the installer continues, I would guess after a hard
  timeout.

  This is a regression and it has surfaced during the last few days.
