Comments/Problems:

<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
      and ideas you had during the initial install.>

Install went fine to 68% then Error Installation Failed - Command /usr/sbin/bootloader-config failed to finish in 600 seconds

SUGGESTION - extend timeout for bootloader-config from 10 minutes to 60 minutes

Please make sure that any installation logs that you think would
be useful are attached to this report. (You can find them in the
installer system in /var/log/ and later on the installed system
under /var/log/installer.) Please compress large files using gzip.

Hi,

wizardfromoz <christurner1957@gmail.com> (2023-06-14):

Are you sure about the image you're using?

As far as I can see, bootloader-config is a calamares-specific command,
so is shipped on live images, and not on the installer images. The one
you linked to is about the latter.

Cc-ing debian-live@ as a heads-up.


Cheers,

Chris Turner <christurner1957@gmail.com> (2023-06-14):

That looks much more plausible, yes. :)

As you can see in that directory, live images exist in several variants,
and it's always best to know exactly which image one is reporting issues
against (sometimes it doesn't matter which desktop environment is used,
sometimes this means huge differences at run-time).

Putting back the bug report and the live team in the loop (for further
reference, using reply-all is best).


Cheers,

Thank you for the clarification.

I had this happen with a Bookworm 12.7 MATE live ISO:

https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-12.7.0-amd64-mate.iso

In my case, it was due to bootloader-config needing to install some packages, and trying to reach out to a debian server without an internet connection. The process hangs at or about  "Need to get 4,631 kB of archives".

I created two LUKS encrypted partitions for / and /boot (ie. selected ext4 and checked [] encrypt).

In my case, I had a hardwired ethernet connection to a small embedded board (similar to a beaglebone black), and had not established a wifi connection within the live session. The ethernet connection defaults to being the default route, unless the connection is edited and "Only use this connection for resources on it's network" is selected (which of course doesn't happen in the installer).

I opened a MATE Terminal window and ran sudo bootloader-config --help, an option that bootloader config doesn't recognize. Instead, the program ran immediately.

That invocation of bootloader-config hung, Once I created a WiFi connection, the process immediately continued and successfully completed.

The strange thing is that it doesn't look like any remote packages were downloaded at all - bootloader-config just needed to get past the point where it insisted on talking to a debian server.

It's not clear whether this would have happened if I didn't have the ethernet connection that was not a gateway ...
