[Bug 743359] Re: Installer: LockFailedException: Failed to lock /target/var/cache/apt/archives/lock

[Emilien Klein]

Same crash while installing Ubuntu 11.10 beta 1 in a VMWare with 1900 Mb
Ram, all others are default settings. Host OS is Win7.

/var/log/syslog also contains reference to this LockFailedException:
Sep  7 14:34:31 ubuntu plugininstall.py: LockFailedException: Failed to lock /target/var/cache/apt/archives/lock

`ubuntu-bug ubiquity` opens this bug report in the browser after having
displayed an exception, not really a part of this bug report but might
hint to some missing info maybe?


ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ ubuntu-bug ubiquity
