Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager
This is not a major issue but does affect the user perception of update progress. Whan checking for updates the 'progress bar' behaves inconsistently, often going to 100% and then jumping back to (say) 50%. Using system monitor to check network activity also shows that although the status bar / progress box says (say) "downloading file 40 of 42", all network download activity has stopped and the software is presumably parsing the downloaded files. To improve user perception/experience I think that the operation of the progress bar should be improved to show a steady increase from 0% to 100%, without 'jumping back' to a lower value having already reached 100%. The status messages could also be improved to read (say) "Downloading file 10 of 42.." - "downloading file 42 of 42.." - "Processing files.." My system: Ubuntu Karmic on ASUS EEE900 - all latest updates applied as of today. Update Manager 1:0.124.8 - though this behaviour has existed since I started using Karmic. ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Update Manager- odd behaviour of package download progress bar https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/421824 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
