Bug Description
Hello
shortlog:
If a new user installs ubuntu and as post-installation task runs the available updates he certainly gets a new Kernel too – this means that the initRAMFS will be updated.
Depending on the Hardware equipment, this can be a rather timely + CPU consuming process.
The chance to believe the PC stalls is at high risk w/o visual feedback.
If the electricty or internet-connection fails to work - and the process was interupted, the system will call for a
$ E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem
If the user does so, he gets no visul feedback in terms of a progressbar - this could be possible in the terminal!
Remember the Knoppix CD, where the boot-process in itself was visible?
https:/
It can build trust to see that a process is evolving - even the Redmond-guys respect this - still with W10 - giving a visual feedback to the user - not just a blinking cursor.
Thinking this would not be to timely to implement.
Thanks for making Ubuntu better every day!
