I have the same issue in Wubi while testing for Quantal Alpha 1. Here is my report from testing:
Not sure if bug is entirely the same. Essentially, the symptoms are the same but on top of that I can't log in with username and password selected during install. System is apparently waiting for something with message about preparing for first run. I left it there for more than 1 hour. When trying to login in console (Ctrl + Alt + F2) system issues password incorrect message. I noticed on terminal 7 a long list of errors. Example: /usr/share/perl/5.14/Carp.pm has too many errors. Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/perl/5.14/Tie/Hash.pm line 5 I tried to use explore2fs to read contents of root.disk but it doesn't want to read the contents and shows empty disk. UPDATE: I had some time so I tried the install under Windows 8 RC in VirtualBox VM. I had the same error. Password was simple, no Unicode characters. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/376120 Title: installing ubuntu stoped on "installing system" on 0% without any progress for half an hour To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/376120/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
