Thanks for the info. In this case (the user is doing a fresh install, has a known slow connection, is comfortable with the command line, and already knows about trickle and how to use it), wouldn't doing something like:
sudo apt-get install trickle -y && trickle -u 50 -d 50 apt-get sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and then browsing the web etc. as the long update happens, be workable? In other words, why does it help (how does it make anything significantly easier) to have trickle installed by default? All it saves is typing one command (sudo apt-get install trickle) and the time that command takes (not long, since trickle and its depdendencies are pretty small). Your use case is an example of when trickle can be useful -- but trickle can be downloaded and then used, can't it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/588886 Title: Include trickle in base lubuntu -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
