I've been wanting to play with LXQT version and this was the push. I have tried twice to install it and it stalls at "syncing /usr". I let it go for some time but nothing happens. The system is still responding though as I can open an application.
This is trying to use KVM. My hardware is a dual core intel celeron N3350 with 4g of ram. I gave 1 core and 2g ram to the VM. I know it's not great but it works well with other VM's ie: Manjaro, MX and even Mojave but it ran slow. I even logged out of my XFCE desktop and into Fluxbox to save on some resources but it didn't help.
I will play with it some more and see it I can get it to go. Funny thing is it boots pretty fast into the live environment.
EDIT: Nevermind. I went into the settings and realized I only gave the VM 1g ram rather than 2g. Rebooted the iso and installed in about 5:30min.
