I has been stuck like this for the past 20 minutes. Does this operation have a timeout value.
Give it a bit more time.
I always do my install in offline mode then when it’s finished and I’m on a fully working desktop I connect to internet and push everything from there.
You should try that if the install somehow freeze or fail

@fernandomaroto ? would it be possible to use a timeout here? or making it optional? as if it stucks on having bad internet or someone installing from limited connection ?

I’ll study the case, not sure if is possible.
making it optional?
Need someone with c++ and python skills to change/create a user interface inside cal.
if it stucks on having bad internet or someone installing from limited connection ?
For now the module detects internet connection, then update or skip accordingly. It’s also possible that the person is using a not so good pc, requiring more entropy (uses haveged already).
Notice this is not only using internet but pacman-key init/refresh/populate.
There is also a chance that using reflector instead of update-mirrorlist improve speed of getting best mirrors.
Or i can simply remove the module depending on how many people are having the problem.

I am using university internet . It automatically logs you out after some time of inactivity. So by the time the installer reached 87% I was automatically logged out. But the was not able to understand that a login is required to use the internet.

Ok, nice you managed to install.
Anyway i’ll test the speed of the process. I had another idea what may cause the install to slow down, if i’m right the only option is to remove the auto-update for good.
I’ll test it soon.
Cheers!
