Title:
  install crash

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This crash was an 11.04 to 11.10 upgrade crash.

  The upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 crashed first, and rendered the system
  compromised.  Specifically, my /home directories were "gone" and I
  couldn't login with the GUI.

  I was able to decrypt my user data using the shell in recovery mode,
  then I proceeded to reinstall 11.10.  Since program data was intact, I
  selected the option to do 11.10 to 11.10 rather than wipe the old
  install and reinstall.

  The crash happened right after the installer reported that a vmware
  file didn't match (between the 11.10 DVD ROM and the old
  installation).  I told it to retry, it appeared to be proceeding
  normally once more, then BOOM (crash).

  Perhaps my hard drive is bad, though it checked out ok before I did
  this install.  Or perhaps the DVD has errors, though it did verify
  cleanly after writing in a different machine.  Or perhaps there is
  actually a bug in the installer.

  Best regards,
