[Bug 1867658] Re: Booting install media, pressing "s" to skip media check is ignored

[MarkF]

@corrado (msg #4), it sounds like you're using Ubuntu desktop. That
problem is different (I've experienced it too), and apparently reported
here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1867130

You can click "affects me" on that bug. (I think Budgie's problem is
fixed. I need to try it again.).

This (media-check as a default) seems to have been rushed in without
much thought. It doesn't work right. It ignores "s" while checking large
files. If it finds an error, it doesn't wait for the user to confirm
seeing that message (if the user isn't staring at the screen the whole
time, they won't know). There is a discussion here, where they are also
talking about the problem you've encountered (the message isn't even
seen on Ubuntu Desktop):

Title:
  Booting install media, pressing "s" to skip media check is ignored

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  ISO testing 20.04 daily image for Budgie 20200316. During boot of
  install media, the media-validation step ignores "s" to skip.

  Other *buntu flavors ignore "s" during a lengthy check of a large
  squash file. But, Budgie is ignoring it even as it cycles through
  small files.
