Created attachment 119052 [details] screenshot STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open Discover when many updates are available 2. click "Update" page in the side bar 3. click "Update all" button 4. while Discover downlaods the updates, click "Tasks" in the side bar OBSERVED RESULT Discover is downloading the updates, but it shows "Update - Installing - 1,7 MiB/s" (See the attached screenshot) and such info remains even when the download was already finished and Discover starts the installation proccess itself. EXPECTED RESULT Show "Update - Downloading - 1,7 MiB/s" during download. While the installation itself is in progress, replace the download speed with the percentage of the progress, like "Update - Installing - 25%", for example. Operating System: KDE neon Developer Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.57.0 Qt Version: 5.12.0
Now that Neon has offline updates, this is more noticeable. Discover says its installing updates, when its really just downloading them. Also, the progress bar only fills to 50%, I assume the other 50% is for the installation which never happens during that session.
i would like to add to this. the "Tasks" popup for me always shows complete progress bar with "installing" and "kb" which i am not sure is the download speed because it takes a small amount of time to download. i would suggest that the "Tasks" popup be made clearer with the progress bar that actually works and the labels correctly describe what is happening. currently it says, in my screenshot that libreoffice is installing at 93.1Kb/s which is not what it is supposed to mean
Created attachment 146519 [details] discover installing tasks popup
There are two problems in one ticket here. The first issue - Show "Downloading" instead of "Installing" while Discover downloads updates. The second issue - Replace the download speed with the percentage of the installation process while the updates are installed. First issue has been fixed. Opening Discover and clicking install for Zoom shows "Zoom - Downloading: 1.1 MB/s" in the "tasks" pop-up. As for the second issue, I don't actually see any mention of the word "installing". The tasks pop-up window continues to show the word "downloading" along with MB/s next to it for the entire duration of the process. Meanwhile, the progress bar (showing % complete) in the bottom left hand corner of the screen gets to 99%, freezes for a few seconds, then disappears (i.e., the installation is complete).
