I successfully reproduced the error with virtualization (using VirtualBox). Strangely it wasn't completely easy to reproduce it. Maybe it's not some unexpected step, but more like a concurrency problem of some type (but note that my knowledge about the internals of this packages is almost none).
Before running the install, i chose to use Gnome Partition Editor to create 2 partitions (it was an empty virtual HDD). Then i started the Install and while editing some times the two partitions, the Edit Partition dialog and the Installation window stopped responding (not a freeze, but couldn't close, abort, anything) A disk error (not physical, obviously) was reported after some editing of the partitions, before the "bug", but it didn't happen when i reported the bug, so i think it's not related. Here is the syslog: ** Attachment added: "/var/log/syslog" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7394113/syslog -- Installation gets inoperable after apparently unexpected step https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108492 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
