I think the real problem with a two-progress-bars solution is that the outer progress bar would be no more accurate than the current one, and would really just have to be equally divided. Perhaps a series of explicitly named steps would be better.
However, a further problem is that we don't have good progress information for many of the inner steps; for example, the installer has no idea how far update-initramfs has got, which is a particularly slow step. That presents a problem for any scheme involving an inner progress bar and outer progress information reporting; the inner bar would have to be a throbber for some steps and not for others, which I think would be pretty ugly. That's one of the reasons we decided to go for a single progress bar. -- Live installer needs ETA display https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196396 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
