[Bug 995126] [NEW] 12.04 (i386) installer crashes after "import account" wizard

[zebul666]

Public bug reported:

When attempting to install 12.04 desktop i386 PP on a athlon XP 2200+
with 512MiB of RAM (there is swap partition on disk) and a Geforce 4 MX
440 and a 22GiB free partition, the installer crashes after the "Import
account" wizard/page.

I have a 10.04 installation on another partition.
I have checked both the iso and the burned CD or the usb key I am using to perform the install. I am using ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso

I proceed to the different step of the installer without problem. I
could even wait it copies all the files, and then proceed through the
other step

And only when I click continue at the import account page, whether I
select the displayed account or not, the installer disappears from
screen (I am assuming it crashes) (after showing the right arrow of the
ending diaporama I am guessing)

I am guessing either it is because of the import account wizzard, or the
diaporama, or another operation performed at that moment

I performed a total of at least 5 installations, with CD or USB, in
french, in english, changing various option, with or without wifi
enabled and it's always crashing at the same place.
