[Bug 1075343] Re: ubiquity hang after preparing install screen in 12.10

[Christian Göbel]

Not sure, where I read that there is no alternate disk for Lubuntu
12.10. I found the disk image and could install just fine using the
alternate image. Using alternate provides a workaround. Not sure what
are the differences between alternate and live-installer.

Nevertheless the reported issue is valid: 
This is a very common Samsung laptop with Intel Centrino platform and standard hard disk. 
Dual-boot with Windows - Nothing special, nothing fancy.
It would be great if Ubiquity could "just work" on this type of hardware. 

Just drop a line if I can provide additional information.

Title:
  ubiquity hang after preparing install screen in 12.10

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Using a usb-live-stick I try to install Lubuntu 12.10 (final) on my laptop and the following issue occurs: 
  After starting ubiquity, the installer hangs forever after the "preparing install" screen. 
  When hitting "continue" there is some usb-stick activity and some hard-disk activity and than nothing else happens. 
  I stopped ubiquity using the quit button. 

  Expected behavior: Provide choice about where to install ubuntu

  Further remarks: 
  My system: Samsung x20, laptop with intel centrino platform. 
  Live-system is running fine, including gparted, fdisk, sfdisk, grub
  I checked the usb-stick, before starting the system.
  One hard-disk, no raid, WinXP, Ubuntu 11.04, Ubuntu 12.04 already installed.
  In the past I had already problems to install on this laptop, with the live-installer. In the past I just used alternate installer which worked just fine. I am reporting this bug since the alternate disk is not available, now - so I would really like to see this issue fixed. 

  I started ubiquity in debug mode. log-files will be attached. 
  Please let me know if I can provide additional information.
