Title:
  ubuntu 32bit install issue- gives error then runs live cd-after
  install ubuntu is buggy

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I have always used ubuntu 64bit in the past, and decided to try the 32bit version this time. When I try to install, I get the following error: 
  "The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again."

  it then runs off the live cd. From the live cd everything seems to
  work okay. I then install ubuntu by clicking on the desktop icon. And
  it installs without any further problems.

  Now after install I am getting a host of errors.

  1) I can only mount 1 cd per session. when I switch cds I get the
  following error:

  Unable to mount location, internal error: no mount object for mounted
  volume.

  The old cd icon remains, and a second one reflecting the new cd is
  added. I cant do anything with any of the icons.

  2) in previous attempts I had a few partitions, one with ubuntu, one
  with kubuntu, one with ultimate edition  and one with windows
  installed, yet the places window in Nautilus only displays my windows
  partition, as well as a floppy drive (Which I don't have) If I want to
  access my flash drive or any of the other partitions I need to go to
  places>computer, and access it from there

  3) the windows partition is automatically authenticated (in the past I
  had to first enter a password, before I could access it), yet I do not
  have permission to do other simple things- such as send a bug report
  using alt f2 ubuntu-bug:

  when I tried to file this report I got the following error:

  Cannot connect to crash database, please check your Internet connection.
  [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/log/installer/casper.log

  4) running photoshop in wine, im being told that I do not have enough
  memory to save a jpg- I never had this problem in 9.10

  I am finding things wrong all the time- for example the other day I
  didn't have permission to install a program through the ubuntu
  software center- unfortunately I didn't record the error

  Please note that I have installed ubuntu 5 times, and each time I get
  that install error, yet when I install on any other pc it works
  flawlessly.
