[Bug 1102030] [NEW] Ubiquity quits during installation

[mikewhatever]

Public bug reported:

Been trying to install Ubuntu 12.04.1 on an oldish PC with 1GB of RAM,
AMD Athlon 2GHz and Nvidia FX5200. The installer window quits after
following through all the steps, before going to the slideshow.

Syslog has the following:
