[Bug 1480318] Re: Can't install freya

[Phillip Susi]

You have dirty installation media containing a mix of debian and ubuntu.
You need to format the installation medium before preparing it for use
to install a new OS.

  Can't install freya

Bug description:
  During install, I get this error window:
  Title: "Error installing /cdrom//pool/main/c/console-setup/console-setup-linux_1.123_all.dev"
  Text: "trying to overwrite '/etc/console-setup/compose.ISO-8859-11.inc', which is also in package console-setup 1.123"

  
  After clicking OK, the installer crashes - another window opens up (titled "Installer crashed") which says that it'll allow me to file a bug report using the integrated bug reporting tool, which never opens up.

  First time I started installation after starting up GUI first, second
  time booted directly into installation and the third time I tried from
  GUI which was started for me after the second installation failed.
  Third time I couldn't even close the "Installer crashed" window -
  "Close" button did nothing. The third time I started installer from
  terminal, with "sudo ubiquity" and had to kill the ubiquity process to
  close the terminal (used SIGKILL) - in the terminal Ctrl+C wouldn't
  stop the ubiquity process.

  I'm trying to install on Samsung N220 from an USB created with
  Unetbootin, freya ISO was downloaded yesterday.

  How do I even begin diagnosing where the problem is? Attached the
  entire /var/log dir, which should contain logs from last two
  installations.
