Thinking back to the incident, The latest version of Ubuntu was out (the Jaunty Jackalope version) and I was installing it on my laptop. The installation went on fine till I saw this screen.

More than 100%

More than 100%

Wait a minute! 114%!!! Lucky, my phone was nearby and I took this snapshot for posterity.

This Brandon Sanderson-esque progress bar is unacceptable. I have heard of people telling that they will do more than 100%. But this is frankly the first time, I’ve seen a software do it. :)

I was wondering what would’ve been the reason for the progress bar crossing 100. Some person definitely would’ve forgotten to declare the variable that stored the progress percentage. The maximum limit must have been set as 100, but I guess someone missed it. Correct me if I am mistaken but I thought Ubuntu code went through more eyeballs than any Windows OS code.
