[Bug 1094439] Re: Installer crash upgrading 11.04 x64 -> 12.04.1 x64 desktop. From fresh live USB stick prepared with Linux Live USB Creator.

[Brian Murray]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it
seems that there is a problem with your installation media (CD/DVD).
You can verify the integrity of the Ubuntu ISO files you downloaded by
following the instructions at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM.  You might also retry
your installation with new media and if that still fails I'd recommend
testing your CD drive with other media.  In the event that is is not in
fact an error with your installation media or hardware please set the
bug's status back to New.  Thanks and good luck!

Title:
  Installer crash upgrading 11.04 x64 -> 12.04.1 x64 desktop. From fresh
  live USB stick prepared with Linux Live USB Creator.

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After the crashed upgrade grub is able to boot into 12.04.1, but
  the user that the installer was supposed to create is missing.
  Logging in with normal user is impossible.
  Guest login works perfectly.

  Other possibly relevant bits of information:
  Target machine had 11.04 grub managed dual boot to Vista x64.
  Home directories were mounted via NFS on original 11.04.
  There were some really old user home dirs left in the original /home dir.
