[Bug 294523] Re: Add an option to disable downloading langpacks
In addition to asking whether the user wants to connect to the internet, it would be nice to offer language pack CD/ISOs. The ISO's would quickly make their rounds in their respective regions. I've copied the /var/cache/apt/archives from another post-installation. Similarly, I'd like to reuse language packages. In the case where I use American English and a USA keyboard configuration, I don't expect the installer to download anything just because I set my timezone to Greenland. -- Add an option to disable downloading langpacks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294523 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

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of this project. - Closing papercuts task. This isnt a simple problem to fix nor is the cause known . For further information about papercuts criteria, please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut. Don't worry though, this bug has been marked as Invalid only in the papercuts project. ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: Incomplete = Invalid -- Add an option to disable downloading langpacks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294523 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

mac_v, I know the source code here and when I say that this is not obviously a duplicate I do actually know what I'm talking about.

From Bug #172879 , this seems like a non-trivial fix. Colin Watson seems to have put considerable effort into fixing this issue.

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 172879 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/172879 This bug , I believe , was started because the delay at 82% was caused by the installer downloading language packs and not being able to cancel the downloads., This will be fixed by Bug #172879 , So marking this bug as a dup. If anyone feels they need a separate option in the installer , they can remove the duplicate status. [IMO , adding an option to not download language packs will confuse new users.] ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 172879 Unable to skip network access during installation -- Add an option to disable downloading langpacks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294523 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

I too tried installing Jaunty Betaon VirtualBox with Network enabled. The installation took so long, that I had to click Cancel and force shut down the VM.

[Bug 294523] Re: Add an option to disable downloading langpacks
Unless I'm imagining things, I thought this was addressed during the alphas, but while installing both Kubuntu and Ubuntu 9.04 beta with selecting English it still wants to go online scanning the mirrors at 82%. This takes about 5 minutes which is annoying since the entire install itself takes 5-10 minutes (excluding the scanning mirror part). I then did the usual step before reinstalling of unplugging the ethernet cable and the install seemed to finish fine and fast without the need to scan the mirrors... Can we still have this this as an option with a checkbox before the release, or w... is it too late even though this bug/wish was opened nearly 5 months ago? -- Add an option to disable downloading langpacks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294523 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

It's probably worth modifying the introductory text to mention that the installer may use your internet connection, as part of the general update to that text that we already have planned. -- Add an option to disable downloading langpacks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294523 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
[Bug 294523] Re: Add an option to disable downloading langpacks
Evan, I too agree with you. The installer should tell explicitly that its going to use the internet connection and tell what is wants to do with the connection. What packages it want to download. It should not proceed without confirming from the user whether he wants to download them or not. -- Add an option to disable downloading langpacks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294523 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
[Bug 294523] Re: Add an option to disable downloading langpacks
The languages that are not on the CD should be marked (asterisk, maybe) and a note given that the installation of these languages will require internet access. This is important for these reasons: 1) The installer hangs at 82% when it cannot connect to a slow server, which is often the case when a new *buntu version is release and the entire world is installing at once. 2) An alternative, included language may suffice for the installation. 3) Bandwidth is expensive in some areas. 4) Unauthorized internet access is often a symptom of malicious software on some operating systems, and users may be very wary of the practice. 5) Some users may wish to protect their anonymity and any unexpected network activity may compromise that anonymity. -- Add an option to disable downloading langpacks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294523 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
