The problem is that the language packs are not on the server, and the background download task gets a "404" error and does not catch it.
Ubuntu's Gtk based installer displays an error message and offers to continue the installation without the langpacks. Kubuntu's installer just sits there, consumes 100% CPU and freezes, making a full installation of Kubuntu Gutsy impossible. IMHO this is a showstopper bug for Kubuntu Gutsy. -- installer hangs retrieving langpacks when network is down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145012 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
