I’m having some very strange problems with the Qubes OS installation
First of all, the system is very sluggish. My device has a CPU of R7 4800U and an SSD, which should be fast, but it takes several seconds to respond when I click the button during the installation.
Secondly, the installation process was stuck for almost an hour, during which the progress bar did not change, but it did not crash, I could not wait any longer so I terminated the installation.
My installation method is USB boot iso file, there should be no problem …
You’re absolutely right: the “progress bar” (it’s not a progress bar, really) does, for some reason, move side to side more and more slowly, then stop. It made me think the process had hung. I gave it another half hour or so, and it completed. (I had to reinstall several times for unrelated reasons, so I got used to this behavior.) I’ve griped about this before but likely not in a place where it might do some good.
A mostly unrelated aside: It’s not really a progress bar since you can’t tell how much progress it has made. In the olden days we called a side-to-size moving gizmo like this a “Cylon” but you have to know the old Battlestar Galactica series to get that reverence.
I guess you could open another terminal using ctrl + a function key even while installing as with almost all Linux distros, F2 should be safe and not used by anything
