I guess this bug also causes the massive slow-down during the Ubuntu installation (compared to earlier Ubuntu versions).
I had already several reports about the standard installation hanging at 95 % (or whatever other percentage). At this point the dpkg database is built/updated/whatever. The installation does not really hang, but depending on how slow your disk is, this step can take up to 15 minutes (perhaps even longer on really old computers). This also affects the alternate installation, but in a somewhat lesser degree (according to my own experiences). When Ubuntu 10.04 has nearly achieved a boot time of 10 seconds (it's more like 20 seconds on my computers, but it really boots much faster than before), installation time has almost quadrupled :-( One step forwards here, one step backwards there -- My computer updates are very slow since latest dpkg update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/537241 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
