Bug Description
Rochard is available for 14.04 (see https:/
But, when I try:
Reinstall Previous Purchases -> Buy/Install, I get a throbber moving from side to side for several minutes and eventually the error:
Failed to download reepository information
Check your internet connection
W:Failed to fetch https:/
, W:Failed to fetch https:/
, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Expected behaviour (in order of preference):
Best scenario: add the repo and install
2nd preference: fail more quickly than several minutes
3rd preference: instead of a throbber moving from left to right, use a progress bar instead so I can at least be confident that nothing is happening. Looking at the computer for several minutes wondering if it needs assistance or whether I can go about my work isn't a good position to put the user in IMO.
This is a fresh install (+upgrades that became available).
Love Ubuntu, thank you!
