    The screen should reflect the current status and display the following options (unless you're in a VM):
  • Wired connection

  • Connect to a hidden Wi-Fi network
  • I don't want to connect to internet for now
  • If you ARE installing in a VM, you should check that the VM automatically has internet access. This is usually via a "wired connection".
    If you're testing a testcase that requires no internet access, make sure the install medium does not have internet access by configuring it properly in this slide.
    Click "Next"

    hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 8gb amd/ati rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)
    i booted & this box has 2x mantic installs.... I'll replace one with this 'new' install. partition will be clean formatted so i'll get one 'new' install & whatever was on the the other partition (/var/log/installer/mediainfo will be a ~week ago for other install)

    this install attempt GOT NOWHERE

    I didn't get a TRY/install dialog, just got a gnome3 desktop; activities on left display & wallpaper only right display.
    The desktop itself looked and acted (quick play) correct, so I let it idle 5+ minutes without change, so started the install..

    the install quickly made the screen go BLACK and the session was lost... Remained black 30+ minutes

    I was unable to get to text terminal (ctrl+alt+F4) to login & explore issues... on attempts to return back to graphics I got nothing.. as if machine was locked up OR video was lost.

    It was left >45 mins in this state (I did other things) then I tried again, could NOT get a response so finally SysRq REISUO & it rebooted as expected & quickly; so kernel was up & functioning anyway, NO MACHINE LOCKUP.

    reboot & xubuntu mantic looks untouched & good
    reboot & new ubuntu desktop install; plymouth is TEXT? Ubuntu 23.10 in text, no logo & dots?

    i believe the install is perfect.. however machine is unusable.. I believe radeon issues... from text terminal all looks as it should.. but GUI will login initially & looks correct, then I quickly lose control... making filing bug difficult... this is possibly issue with prior install (gui session gets lost??) but I've been able to briefly view text terminal which is where this opinion comes from, but this is over more than 1 login as text terminal can also switch to endless scrolling of radeon/ring-stalled issues..

    RESULT OF TEST PASSED as install is good... hardware having issues with radeon driver being a non-install issue
