I put in these flags:

Code:

#### MAIN
########################################################################
## PreProcessing
CheckArgs    # Check external arguments: [<ScriptName> arg1]
CheckRoot    # Check if ran as root
CheckTypeError
#CheckPath ## <-- This currently breaks CheckPrerequisites()
CheckPrerequisites
## Report
UserInput
echo "after UserInput"
MessageWait
echo "after 1st MessageWait"
Writer less | \
    less -R    # writing to less
## Post processing
echo "after Writer less"
MessageWait
echo "after 2nd MessageWait"
RmOldReport

And got this:

Code:

after UserInput
Processing Report. This may take about 30 seconds....

after 1st MessageWait
after Writer less
Processing Report. This may take about 30 seconds....
after Writer less
Processing Report. This may take about 30 seconds....

'system-info.txt' is larger than 19.5kB. (20675 bytes)

If you want to attach to a post on Ubuntu Forums as an attachment,
you will need to compress the report.

Would you like to archive the report? <y/N> n
Press any key to continue

I do not understand the code in that area, but at least we know where to look.
(Oh, I added the extra ... to the message. Just checking cause and effect.)

I spun up a Rolling Rhino 22.04 (which 1fallen reported that on). The installer didn't like ZFS and/or encryption during the install and would get a fatal error. I figured those options would slow down the results, but it wouldn't let me install with those options.

2 seconds on processing during the second run of Writer(). The first run of the 'eyes only' less viewing was immediate to the screen. That was on a VM... That should be slower than metal. I guess I don't understand the delay with 1fallen's results. I can't replicate it so far.

I posted this: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread....2#post14120432 it talks about zfs and encryption.
I can confirm in KVM it runs just fine, see below.
I'm running it right now I've had about 95 updates in two days time, let's(I'll) check now again.
EDIT: Still had a 20 sec delay, but I'd call that good.

BTW that seemed a ton faster for this test bed.
I guess I should include what was seen;

Called it good and pushed the changes to STABLE.

On 23.04 Lunar Lobster: https://termbin.com/j7ka

Tested with the -r startup option to refresh/update the script in place.

Living on the edge...LOL Just to see if I can stir things up with SecureBoot enabled.

That is with:

Code:

From this posting by 1fallen, it seems the "Processing Report" message is printed 2 times, whereas I always see it printed 3 times no matter the computer. So what is the difference? The difference is ssh session or not.

I did the following tests:
Main test server, Ubuntu 20.04: Via SSH 3 messages; Via console: 1 message.
Main Debian server: Via SSH 3 messages; Via console: 1 message.
A desktop 22.04 VM: Via SSH 3 messages; Via terminal window in the GUI: 2 messages.

As a last minute nicety ...adding it as: There is something still going on in the background. Please be patient... kind of thing, it is now being mysterious. LOL.

It is only called twice. I checked. I wonder what the difference is in ssh(???) Going to look at this again over the weekend.
