openmandriva installation fails in (a bit slow) VM #2861

Closed usama-makhzoum closed 1 year ago

usama-makhzoum commented 1 year ago

OpenMandriva version: 4.3 x86_64 , BUILD ID : 598 (I think it's ROCK but not sure)

Describe the bug: setup failed at running scripts stage (/usr/bin/calmares-post-script specifically). installation waits for it 100 seconds only, this can be too short for VMs

Steps to reproduce: run openmandriva installation in a weak or mid specs virtual machine (VBox for instance)

Observed behavior: installation failed. no more scripts are executed and installation is broken.

Expected behavior: installation should wait for it , a little more.

Additional comment: I am running /usr/bin/calmares-post-script inside another chroot as a trick in order to make installation complete, just before calmares executes the script itself.

having 3 GB as VM ram, 10 GB for harddisk space, Oracle Virtualbox in debian linux.

Hi @usama-makhzoum thanks for the report. You can incerase timeout by yourself by editing /etc/calamares/modules/shellprocess.conf

Nevertheless i'll increase the timeout.

nice, I've edited conf inside harddisk just after calamares copied image files.

worked like a charm
