[Bug 875297] Re: Ubuntu installer hangs on "Choose a picture" screen. Never recovers. Installation not bootable.

[Christopher M. Penalver]

Dave H, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please provide the information
following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity ?

Thank you for your understanding.

Assigning to package ubiquity. Please advise if incorrect procedure.

** Description changed:

- The Ubuntu (now 12.10 alpha 2) installer hangs on the "Choose a picture"
- screen. It looks like trying to access the webcam has frozen the kernel.
- This means the installation never completes and is not usable even after
- a hard reset.
- 
- ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
- Downloaded 11.10 release. made a USB live edition. The install process stops at the 'Chose a picture' screen as the proceed button, I presume,  is off screen i.e below by 575 pixel vertical resolution.
