Multimedia codec prompts for remote install without internet connection #59

Open Mr-Dead opened 1 year ago

Mr-Dead commented 1 year ago

Hello. The Mint Ubiquity installer prompts user for multimedia codec installation early during the install process. This is without regard to an active internet connection. If user without internet connection selects for codec installation, Ubiquity still attempts to install codec, unsuccessfully. User may also assume codecs were actually installed, when they were not.

If codecs are unavailable on iso, Ubiquity should defer user prompt when no internet connection exist. Please save user confusion and time.

See /var/log/installer/syslog beginning line 2313 refer to codec installation online. See beginning line 2622 refer to errors resolving network address. syslog.txt

Apologies if this issue is outside the scope of your Ubiquity project.
