Addon to the previous comment: After restart of my system the GNOME desktop is installed and available for use. So it seems that the installation went well although (very) slowly.
I really wonder what the process (software center) was doing, as it seems it was not very busy on CPU. After the installation completed, I also checked the performance of my internet connection, which seems OK (~10MBit/s download, 1 MBit/s upload, 20-40 ms latency when pinging some select servers). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1485434 Title: Installation in Ubuntu Software Center does not progress To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1485434/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
