I'm unsure what is going wrong and not having any luck finding a command or file I can tail to figure out why it's having so many problems finishing. Last weekend I tried just installing mint to some unused space on a drive but that seemed to get stuck in the same place. This weekend I'm using the "install alongside windows" option in the installer with the same behavior.
This is being installed from a USB drive into an nvme SSD and I'm really lost s to why it would be like this after more than an hour. Any advice on how to figure out why it gets stuck is appreciated. Hoping to transfer some files over after this is done and then reevaluate if I want/need the windows partition.
Still running into issues, but I think this link might be a good next step. Commenting with the link now before I restart the live environment https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=2523101&hilit=INFO%3A+task+ubiquity+blocked#p2523101. It seems to indicate that multiple people are having this issue with linux mint 22 and that it might be related to graphics device differences/issues and several people said that they were able to install successfully after rebooting and selecting the compatibility mode setting when booting the live environment. Going to give that a shot and see if it resolve the kernel messages in syslog indicating that ubuitity has been blocked from starting for XYZ seconds that get printed out periodically.
So compatibility mode did work and now I'm just upset with how difficult it is to paste an image into discord but that seems like another issue for a different thread
