Thank you very much for this and all previous queries.

Actually, still many times, we do have internet connection problems. But,
this time I kept a separate machine pinging the ISPs DNS all the time while
installing and logged the output. It was perfect.

I suspect that somehow it is related to manual partitioning for tjener
without separate home directories and LVM.

I did a fresh install with automatic partitioning. Set up huge number of
users, all with new passwords and restored their home directories by hand.
Everything is fine now.

On tjener: does login succeed for users?
