installer broken, when contacting non-existant mirror

Descrizione

when running the trisquel mini graphical installer, it tries to contact nl.archive.trisquel.info to download a speed test file. (i see the wget command with ps -ef). however, that mirror is not up. therefore, the installer remains active, but does not continue past a certain point. (this might not be an issue if you don't select the option to download updates from the internet.)

the workaround i used here was to edit /etc/hosts to point to the main mirror. before that, i tried clicking on the installer's skip button, but it had no apparent effect.

ideally, the installer would give up and continue if a host cannot be contacted. for a quicker solution, it might make sense to remove that mirror from the list of mirrors.

One possible solution is to tell wget to timeout, if no tcp connection is made:


 --connect-timeout=seconds
     Set the connect timeout to seconds seconds.  TCP connections that
     take longer to establish will be aborted.  By default, there is no
     connect timeout, other than that implemented by system libraries.

people have reported that killing wget during the installation works for them, so i imagine this might work as well.
