Description

The key problem is that from the installer perspective, work is done after the queue of tasks is empty. But copying the logs is one of the tasks, so no further log messages are "saved". There is already something logged (only in GUI), and by inspecting the installed system, you can never see it. Thus: 1) Is it enough to have this message in the usual place, journal/syslog? (I assume so, because that's what goes into the virtio port after all.) 2) Is just "appears in log" good enough, or are you asking to have this message saved on the installed system too? In general it would be nicer to have this in log on the installed system, but I understand the limitations and for our purposes it is enough if it appears on console/syslog during the installation. What about adding two messages. One which won't be part of the installed system but it will be really the end of the installation and second, which will be stored to the installed system.
