Hi Jack, we would like to know more about the issue you are facing. Could you reply to the question in comment #1 ? ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Wishlist -- installer should not ask about proxy if not needed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344907 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 344907] Re: installer should not ask about proxy if not needed
Hi, It's not a big issue. It just struck me that the installer could ping an ubuntu server. If it failed, it could ask for a proxy configuration; if it succeeded, no proxy would be needed. On slow connections, having interruptions for unnecessary questions makes the installation process more annoying and time consuming. In line with no-questions-asked package installation, the installer should also minimise questions. -- installer should not ask about proxy if not needed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344907 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 344907] Re: installer should not ask about proxy if not needed
Given that jaunty is EOL next month, people shouldn't be installing it. For active releases, I doubt we'd SRU the installer given that this would change the behavior. So, I'm going to remove the jaunty tag, and target this to Later. Until somebody tries this on the current installer, the status must remain Incomplete. Its possible that the alternative installer no longer asks for a proxy configuration. Also Jack, its not as easy as can or cannot access the internet. The proxy is also useful for speeding up the download process if you have a lot of machines and a shared proxy that isn't required for accessing the internet. -- installer should not ask about proxy if not needed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344907 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

Hi Jack, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report (oh so long ago now!) and help make Ubuntu better. Its not entirely clear what steps you took where the only question you were asked was how to configure the proxy, nor is it clear whether or not this method of installation is expected to work without prompting the user, or whether its just annoying that it asks this one question. Marking Incomplete. Jack, pelase fill out a clear test case and mark as New so we can confirm it. I'd also suggest confirming this on Ubuntu 10.10 beta, as Jaunty's end of life is coming next month. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete ** Tags added: jaunty -- installer should not ask about proxy if not needed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344907 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
