Follow up with your supersivor: just make sure they organised the viva (as opposed to just forget about it for a few months). No names mentioned.
If they have sent the invitations to the examiners, you can't do anything about that other than wait patiently.
Probably not the norm, but I submitted at the end of September and didn't find out my viva date til December! and viva was not til January. My problem was my external examiner could only do Friday afternoon and my internal lectured on a Friday!
I think I left it a few weeks before I first chased up. At my uni viva was organised by admin team. I had to speak to them and was not allowed to approach my internal examiner about it.
At my uni we only arrange a viva date after the examiners' reports are in - and these typically take 6-8 weeks to compile. We have a non-examining chair on our panels who receive the reports and set up the viva. The candidate is only notified after a date has been agreed on etc. I hear the norm is about 10 weeks after submission, with around two weeks "notice" to prepare.
