[Bug 740558] Re: Kubuntu Natty installer crashed

[Mike Lovell]

I experience this today and you can get around it, I used a USB key to
install Lubuntu 11.10 and had the same problem during install.

If you bring up a console and run an "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade"
(obviously with an internet connection) then try the install again it
works.  Whatever was causing it must have been fixed.

(This was with Alpha 3 BTW)

Title:
  Kubuntu Natty installer crashed

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I created a USB key from the most recent natty-desktop-i386.iso for Kubuntu, and booted from it.
  I launched Kubuntu, and when that appeared to work satisfactorily I ran "install kubuntu". I chose to install the extra packages and download updates.
  I selected manual partitioning, reformatted a partition as btrfs, kept an existing ext4 /home partition, and left the others unused.

  The installer got as far as choosing a keyboard, but vanished --
  without any crash notification -- while I was examining the "USA"
  keyboard choices.

  I reran the installer, and it got to "Checking for packages to remove
  ... 60%" before crashing.
