Thanks for your report. This isn't the right fix, though - the intent of "Default: mirror" there was to change the default in the case where you ask to use a custom mirror. If it's being used when you didn't ask for a custom mirror, then something else is wrong and whatever that something else is needs to be tracked down instead.
The hint that this may be specific to users outside the UK may very well be instructive. I'm in the UK myself and I tend to select the UK in the installer without really thinking about it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/919356 Title: Default hostname needed for PowerPC To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/choose-mirror/+bug/919356/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
