Public bug reported: Just downloaded latest version of ubuntu 14 and want to install it on a blank partition which I have created on my Acer Laptop TravelMate model 7320 along side Windows 7 Pro 32bit. The windows program works fine and has been running for about 2 years now without a problem.
I have prepared a flash drive containg the installation files. It loads ok from the flash drive and get to the point where I get two options. Option 1 is Try Ubuntu and Option 2 is Install ubuntu. I have tried opion 1 which seems to work to a point but it wants an internet connection but I am on a wireless connection. It can't connect as it fails to find driver for the wi-fi card. When I try to install to the hard drive it takes me through the first few steps up to the point where it asks for my location which it correctly identifies as Johannesburg (South Africa) and at that point it pops up a message that the installer fails (crashes) with errno 5. and generates a bug report of some sort and connects me to launchpad to report the problem. As I am new to linux/ubuntu I don't understand the questions you are asking me or how to get any of the files listed below. Since installion crashes I am not in a position to attach any files.
