[Bug 986550] Re: Ubiquity crashes with "Illegal instruction" right after starting the slideshow

[Hochhaltinger]

I have a similar problem on my PC (AMD Duron 1800, 1,5 GB RAM, BIOS from 2003).
Maybe it's the same cause, maybe not, I don't know. Can you help me find out?
(BTW: this CPU _does_ support PAE, as I checked!)

The effect started after the last "Oneiric" / 11.10 kernel upgrade, just
a few weeks before "Precise" / 12.04 came out, approx. around March
2012.

Since I made this kernel upgrade certain things did stop working:

1) All auto-replace functionality in LibreOffice stopped at once,

2) The presentation of any (!) streaming video content is no longer possible, 
both in Firefox and Chromium. Instead the video only an empty rectangle appears, 
no Flash message. Despite this it is still possible to download youtube movies with the respective Add-On, but not to watch on screen. (I tried both Flash and Gnash, no change).

3) Wine doesn't start any more.

4) Google Earth doesn't start any more

5) Stellarium doesn't work


Or, maybe, it is my graphics card that will not work with the new kernel:
It's a Sapphire Radeon 9000 Pro from ATI.


Can all these things have a common cause?
Who can give me a hint how to find out?

Thanks,

-ah-

Title:
  Ubiquity crashes with "Illegal instruction" right after starting the
  slideshow

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Doing test installs on 6 different physical machines here, only one is
  giving me trouble installating.

  The crash occurs right after reaching the slideshow, it's 100%
  reproducable and the crash shows up as an Illegal instruction error in
  the terminal.

  Removing the slideshow entirely worked around the issue, so I'm
  strongly suspecting something wrong in webkit.
