Description Patrick Silva 2020-11-11 12:35:43 UTC
SUMMARY
When we boot neon unstable (I tested neon-unstable-20201108-0329.iso file) with a usb stick, the splash screen says "Press ctrl+c to cancel all filesystem checks in progress", but the filesystem checks are not aborted when we press ctrl+c.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. create a bootable usb stick with neon unstable
2. boot your machine with the usb stick created in the step 1
3. press ctrl+c when filesystem checks start

OBSERVED RESULT
filesystem checks continue after we press ctrl+c

EXPECTED RESULT
filesystem checks should be aborted

Spot the difference ;)

I believe this actually works as expected, it just doesn't abort the current file but finishes it summing.
When the current file is the squashfs there can still be a notable amount of time between ctrl-c and the checks ending because of the size of that file.

In any event this tech is inherited from ubuntu's "casper" so you want to report it there I guess.
