Bug#794410: debian-installer: Installer hangs during 'select and install software'
Package: debian-installer
Severity: important
Subject: debian-installer: Installer hangs during 'select and install software'
Dear Debian team
During the installation on a Acer Aspire E11 ES-111-C5Q9 laptop the
system freezes with an installation with both the
debian-8.1.0-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso image and also
debian-8.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso.
The freeze takes place during the 'select and install software' after
'laptop detect' while apt is running. Both with grapical and
non-grapical gui
In this stage of the installation apt is already configured.
On the same system, on a different partition, with the same method I
did a fresh install of linux mint ( kernel 3.16.0-38-generic) , which
is working perfectly so I'm pretty shure there is no malfunctioning of
the hardware.
On the debian file system the following log of apt was found:
