Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
This bug is on purpose a duplicate of Bug #145743 which was reported by
another used on September 27, and to which I added confirmation and
comments on October 6, but which didn't receive any further feedback or
answer yet, so I would like to make it more visible at it looks release-
critical to me. Sorry for the duplicate...
Tried to install Kubuntu 7.10 Beta from CD 4 times on 2 rather standard
machines (one laptop, one desktop, different architectures, different
network connections, on a different day ;-)
* The laptop completely from scratch (manually partitioning all disk, no other
OS left)
* The desktop having a Winsomething on it, manually partitioned keeping Windows.
* Installing in French, standard installation. Everytime the install
froze completely at exactly 87%, last thing that got displayed was
"Downloading languages packs" which actually seemed to download files,
but then the installation sat there with ubiquity eating 100% CPU for
hours (I let it sit there a complete night to check if something might
happen in the end, but it didn't...) with no message at all, no way to
go beyond this except killing install, so I had to revert back to
installing 7.04 feisty on those 2 machines.
* I had controlled that the network connections for these 2 machines
were actually up and properly running.
This looks like a show-stopper to me, 5 days before the planned release
date. Wouldn't be nice releasing a version that won't install on
machines that aren't specially new or whatever...
