I've been sitting here for literally 15 minutes watching a useless black screen... much like how windows does this..  Is that just an unhappy default, or required. In Ubuntu they are downloaded as you continue to work, you reboot, and that's usually quick, and you're back to work, usually that all takes a minute.

I don't remember ever doing the offline updates, but I assumed it would be similar to the release upgrade process where it gives you a progress bar and package counts.  I doubt that a clear black screen is ok.

I should clarify that there was a percentage counter in (I believe) the top left corner, that very slowly went through the percentages of being done. So the screen wasn't completely black. 

Eventually it got done.  I played with gnome3, and got sufficiently frustrated by the amount of work it takes me to get to a state I'm happy with, including noticing a number of the gnome3 extensions that basically don't work (red ERROR), and the basic lack of simple tunings (change the timeout of screen blanking, focus follows mouse with autoraise, to name a few)....  With the impending death of Unity decided to try of KDE... and I'm shocked how easy it is to configure. Arguably has more than I need,so I'll play with this.  Unless I'm missing something about gnome3, i think these extensions are the wrong way to go configure your desktop.
