[Bug 145012] Re: installer hangs retrieving langpacks when network is down

[Cefn]

I'm still experiencing this on Precise using the alternative installer
(text interface). It has hung at "Configuring language-pack-en-base"
having made the mistake of choosing British English en-GB.

Why on earth would it attempt to make a download when it has already
asked me if it should proceed without networking. It's also on a slow
machine (Athlon 900 MHz).

Title:
  installer hangs retrieving langpacks when network is down

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Accidentally booting Kubuntu gutsy beta in VMWare without networking
  enabled, the installer fails to complete the install when choosing
  French as the language, hanging at 87% while trying to download
  language packs.  This problem does not occur when choosing English as
  the language or when the network is present.
