[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.7.28

---------------
ubiquity (2.7.28) oneiric; urgency=low

  [ Stéphane Graber ]
  * Update stepUserInfo.ui to trigger info_loop() when the hostname is changed.
    (LP: #828181)

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Reorder the imports in oem-config-remove-gtk to fix an import error due
    the fallbacks in aptdaemon. (LP: #837288)
  * Show the wireless page after either prepare or language to make sure
    it shows in both ubiquity and oem-config modes.
  * Call out to find_next_step even on non debconf driven pages. (LP: #843237)
  * Don't assume /target is where the new face is being put.
  * When the installer crashes, file a bug using apport-bug rather than
    directing users to a terminal window. (LP: #843933)
  * Fix the colors in the oem-config language selector. (LP: #838672)
  * Automatic update of included source packages: netcfg 1.68ubuntu2,
    user-setup 1.28ubuntu20.

Title:
  Oneiric Installer does not complete in oem-mode when using the webcam
  plugin

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Problem:  The Oneiric Installer never finishes when running in oem-
  mode and when the webcam plugin is in use.

  How reproducible: Always

  Steps to reproduce:

  1) Find a laptop with a working webcam.
  2) Boot up with the amd64 version of today's Oneiric Desktop build (20110906 in this case).
  3) From the main menu, select "install ubuntu"
  4) Press F4 and select OEM Mode
  5) Kick off the install
  6) Select Language, wifi options, etc.
  7) Erase and Install Ubuntu, verify partitioning scheme, select "Install Now"
  8) Select Timezone
  9) Select Keyboard
  10) Fill in the oem username and password
  11) Choose a log in picture, either with the webcam or one of the stock photos

  Actual Result:

  After selecting the photo and proceeding, the slideshow begins and the
  installer goes through the "Copy Files..." stage.  After that, the
  installer fails to proceed any further.  It does NOT crash.  Instead
  it remains on the slide show, with the progress bar all the way at the
  end, and the "Ready when you are..." indicator at the bottom of the
  window.  One cannot proceed further.

  Expected Result:

  Installer should complete and user should be able continue with the
  rest of oem-mode setup and installation.

  
  Note: This ONLY happens when using the webcam and the webcam plugin.  I also tested the same scenario on a machine with no webcam, and oem-mode ran fully to completion.   This problem does not reproduce on a regular ubuntu installation, with or without the webcam plugin in the mix.
