Public bug reported:
# Steps to reproduce
* boot up an installation disk for Ubuntu 18.04 server 64 bit
* fill in all the fields. Nothing special
* get to the final part where you just have to wait for the installer to run
* select "view full log"
# Expected result
* the log disappears and the user is presented with a blank page with an
obvious message saying that installation is complete; or
* the last line of the log should say "installation complete"; or
* an obvious interface element should say "installation complete"
# Actual Result
See the attached printscreens.
* If you have selected "view full log", the last log message is "Reading
package lists..." (top half of the attachment) This is extremely misleading.
The "..." makes it seem like the task is still underway and that another line
will be printed when it's done.
* If you quit the full log and go back to simple log (bottom half of
attachment) the last log entry is "cleaning up apt configuration". This makes
the user think that work is still underway
* the message "installation complete" appears in tiny font up the top. Since
new log entries appear at the bottom, I expect an "installation complete"
message to appear at the bottom, or be far more obvious. The white font on
bright background makes this message hard to notice.
# Impact
I have run this installation 3 times this week. Each time I have sat in
front of my screen twiddling my thumbs for a *very* long time, wondering
why it's taking so long.
