I took another look at this and it appears that jockey wasn't really hanging, the ubuntu repositories were throttled and the downloads were progressing at a glacial pace (as observed by checking the file sizes in /var/cache/apt/archives/partial). While that is much better than simply hanging, the current behavior is still something less than ideal. As is, it appears that the progress bar is only updated with file-level granularity. For something like the nvidia drivers where most of the download is in a single file, this is not so useful. Anyone without a broadband connection is going to see the progress bar sit at 0% for around 15 minutes. I suspect most people will assume it is stalled. If jockey-gtk is using python-apt then it should be possible to display the progress within each file download. Also, as I mentioned in the original post, during the download clicking cancel does nothing. I'm not sure if the download would be cancelled after the first file was downloaded, but clicking cancel should really cause immediate termination of the installation.
I've updated the bug description to reflect the new information. -- jockey doesn't display progress or allow cancel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365883 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
