Public bug reported:

Hello

shortlog:

If a new user installs ubuntu and as post-installation task runs the
available updates there is big chance he'll be getting a new Kernel tool
– this means that the initRAMFS will be updated.

Depending on the Hardware equipment, this can be a rather timely + CPU
consuming process.

The chance to believe the PC  stalls is at high risk w/o visual
feedback.

If the electricty or internet-connection fails to work - and the process
was interupted, the system will call for a

$ E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a'
to correct the problem

If the user does so, he gets no visul feedback in terms of a progressbar
- this could be possible!


Remember the Knoppix CD, where the boot-process in itself is visible?

It can build trust to  see that a process is evolving - even the
Redomond-guys respect this with W10 - giving a feedback to the user -
not just a blinking cursor.

Thinking this would not be to timely to implement.

Thanks for making Ubuntu better every day!
