[Bug 1214373] New: Network installer image's "Loading Installation System" does atrocious job at loading it for me
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1214373 Bug ID: 1214373 Summary: Network installer image's "Loading Installation System" does atrocious job at loading it for me Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.4 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Network Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: el@horse64.org QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- Network installer image's "Loading Installation System" does atrocious job at loading it for me on a slow internet connection. It seems to have zero concept of resume which for a downloader in 2023 I just don't understand. Any hiccup and it starts over. I have now been trying for like 10 times to get past this step, and the particularly damning part is I just downloaded the image itself over the same wifi and that went fine. Also, I needed to hard reset because after some retry an attempt got fully stuck and no key press I could find made it abort or resume. All this while I'm using the very same wifi to file this bug report.Please don't just test a network installer on pristine data center networks. I'm picking severity critical because so far it literally didn't let me install. PS: opensuse version might be specified wildly wrong becaude despite the giant screen space, it doesn't say that one anywhere at this stage and I don't fully remember from boot. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

So it probably had some network interruption again instead and no sense of handling it properly or giving me a more correct message about that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Okay so why not reopen it and resume instead of showing me this error? I could just download the offline image, but the network installer actually is particularly enticing on slower, shakier connections simply because it might download less and therefore finish faster, I mean if it actually operated fine. Your download page even seems to praise that quality specifically. But then surely it should also expect to be used on spottier networks? And this one isn't unusable mind you, I'm still using this wifi right now for all these comments and that works fine. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
