Title:
  Ubiquity crashed while trying to install 12.04 in VirtualBox on an
  iMac

Status in Ubiquity:
  Invalid
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This happened after I had finished inputing all my data and selecting
  my timezone. The installer had been running for about a minute before
  it crashed, though I couldn't say execatly how far in it was since I
  was distracted at the time.

  At the time I was running a second instance of VirtualBox with 11.10,
  which had finsihed installing just before I started the 12.04
  installation. When the crash occured, I was in the process of applying
  the updates to 11.10 and had just installed the proprietary
  virtualisation drivers (not the VirtualBox guest additions, hwich
  hadn't been installed at the time, but some drivers that were
  available through Ubuntu's driver manager).

  The computer is a 2011 iMac.
