[Bug 1156580] Re: Ubuntu 13.04 installer crashes when installing in Virtual Machine

[Redsandro]

Same problem. Cannot install Ubuntu Xubuntu or Lubuntu i386 guest on VirtualBox 4.2.10 using Windows 8 host.
I think they're all running Ubiquity 2.14.6.

I am guessing this is the relevant part:

  1) Chose 'Install Ubuntu' when booting from the ISO
  2) Ticked 'Install this third-party software' (didn't tick the 'Download updates while installation' box)
  3) Chose:
  Erase disk and install Ubuntu
  Encrypt the new Ubuntu installation for security
  Use LVM with the new Ubuntu installation
  4) Entered security key (didn't tick the 'Overwrite empty disk space'
  5) Locale configuration
  6) Account configuration

  After two minutes the installer changes to show the progress bar and
  after that a couple of minutes the installer crasher when 'Installing
