description |
When installing Ubuntu desktop on a computer with a slow Internet connection, the "Configuring Apt" stage of the installer sits at 82% while 'apt-get update' runs in the background. The user cannot see it running and therefore cannot cancel it if they know the update will take a very long time.
While having the network update during installation is quite convenient, it can also take a very, very long time for those of us who want to install first and update later. I think there should be an option somewhere in the installation that asks if the user would like to connect to the Internet to get updates/activate repositories.
For the record, the update takes about 10 minutes on a DSL line that gets 20 kB/s (~256 kbps?). |
Currently, the installer stalls at 82% with no user-freindly instructions or feedback about the download progress.
This takes a considerable amount of time with slow connections and new users often wonder if the installation has stalled.
Present dialogue :
Configuring apt
[ 82% ]
Scanning the mirror....
New users dont know what apt or mirror actually means!
Suggestion:
Explain the process better and allow users to skip this step.
Downloading language packs (N Mb) ...
[ 82% ]
Language packs are essential for better localization of the Ubuntu install.
Skip this step
