I am installing a Fedora 30 from the LiveCD (LXDE) and it is going on spinning for the past 30 minutes while saying "Installing software 100%". Is there anything that I can do to troubleshoot here? I am a little lost because the process is normally a fast one.
At the end of the installation process, the post-installation scripts
get run which may take a while. You could switch to a console using
"ctrl-alt-f2" and check the processes. I think "alt-f6" gets you back.
Is "ctrl-alt-f2" supposed to work here? It does nothing for me (on the LiveCD). I did poweroff and was led to a grub prompt. I presume that this means that grub did not get installed.
Sorry, somehow I didn't clue in that you said you were using the live CD
install. I always use the network installer method. You could just use
a terminal to check the processes and see what's happening.
Getting a grub prompt means that grub was installed, but it can't find
the boot config information. Using the live cd, try mounting the
installed root filesystem to see if it's ok. Also, there should be logs
on the installed system from anaconda. Check in /var/log/anaconda.
