[Bug 995496] Re: Crashes while installing after Who are you screen

[Colin Herron]

I appear to have been able to work around this problem by installing Kubuntu 11.10 and then updating to Kubuntu 12.04 through the Update Manager.  Both Linux Mint 11 and Kubuntu 12.04 are now working on this laptop. There are still a few things that are not working how I expect them to but that is the learning curve when you try new programs.
Maybe the original 12.04 Live CD was corrupted in the download or burning process. I have had that happen before.

I hope this may help someone else

Title:
  Crashes while installing after Who are you screen

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
    I am new to Ubuntu (an ex-windows user) . Tried as live cd seemed to work good. Already have Linux Mint installed but it has a few problems so decided to run Kubuntu in parrallel with it and then then switch to Kubuntu when i got it setup ok
   Installation goes ok partions set up and process steps through to who are you screen. I allow copying of the files at the top of the screen to finish after filling out information. Clicking continue brings up a smaller screen telling me the installer has crashed and to report the bug .  When this screen is closed it seems to revert back to live cd situation and sets it self up as that.
     I did not about the bug reporting guidelines below and being new probaly would not be able to find them or attach them. Sorry but I don't believe I have been much help to you at all
