[Bug 723826] Re: Installer – The option to 'Download updates' when installing Ubuntu should be selected by default

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

So if the checkbox is unchecked, soon after you restart you get the
Software Updater window showing updates that need downloading and
installing.

If the checkbox is checked, soon after you restart you'll get the
Software Updater window showing updates that are (mostly or entirely)
downloaded already, but not installed yet.

Is that right?

(If this change is made, that the checkbox is "insensitive if you did
not set up an Internet connection" should also be changed to
"insensitive and unchecked if there is no Internet connection".)

Title:
  Installer – The option to 'Download updates' when installing Ubuntu

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Committed
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  == UX/UI workflow change request ==

  Installer – The option to 'Download updates' when installing Ubuntu
  should be selected by default

  == UX/UI justfication, Why do we want this ==

  #FIXME

  == Link to bookmark in the Installer design - Ubuntu installation
  process ==

  Design spec: http://goo.gl/Kokw5

  Relevant section: http://bit.ly/17SBZ1J

  #FIXME please edit the installer design document mentioning that
  download updates checkbox should be pre-ticked.

  == UX/UI Pros / Cons ==

  #FIXME

  == Technical Pros / Cons ==

  We start downloading the updates earlier, but there is no guarantee
  all of them will be downloaded by the time the installation finishes.
  None of them are applied, so one will still see "Software Updates"
  available dialog on first boot and it will still require to finish up
  downloading packages. How does this relate to changes in
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates spec? Does the software
  updater download updates in the background by default as well? Both
  the installer and software updater should be consistent with respect
  to pre-downloading updates in the background, as otherwise software
  updater will pop up and still say that downloading is required.

  == Current implementation ==

  BLOCKED, (a) design specification not updated / inconsistent (b) the
  change and reasoning is not explained concisely.

  == Current status ==

  Download the updates is unckecked.

  == NEXT ==
  When unblocked, please reassign the ubiquity task back to ubuntu-Installer team.
