small feature request: provide feedback while .deb files are being installed

[robinpaulson]

Currently the script lets me know it's downloading the .deb files, by updating a number indicating percentage completion.

When it comes to installation, everything is silent, I've wondered a couple of times if anything is happening (my machine is relatively old, so it takes a while to install). I'm not after anything flash, a similar increasing % indicator would be great. Of course, this is not at all high priority, more a nice-to-have

Cheers

Yeah, have noticed this as well. My pc is not that old but am using some dkms modules which also take some time, some feedback would probably be nice.

[robinpaulson]

I didn't even think about DKMS; I've got three of them which will add a chunk of time to the process.

It wouldn't even need to be a % indicator, they're notoriously inaccurate anyway: a spinning thingy would be great.

You could run the script verbosely (using the -d option) in order to get more output.
