[Bug 1185844] Re: DI fails at "Install the system"

[Andrea R.]

I can confirm this bug is still present while installing Ubuntu 16.04.2
amd64 (using mini.iso under qemy-system-x86_64). I selected expert
command-line install, made all the steps manually, selected a "normal
installation" but the installer fails on "Install the system" step.
Looking into syslog, for each attempt, I can see:

base-installer: error: Could not find any live images
...
...
...
main-menu[248]: WARNING **: Configuring 'live-installer' failed with error code 1
main-menu[248]: WARNING **: Menu item 'live-installer' failed.

Title:
  DI fails at "Install the system"

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Setup:
  VirtualBox 4.2.12 on a Windows 7 64-bit SP1 host
  64-bit suacy "mini.iso" built on 2013-05-29

  The error message:
  "Installation step failed" under "Install the system".
  See attached logs for further info.

  What I did before it occurred:
  I purposely selected to do an expert install in order to learn how more about the installer.
  I setup LVM (see in log.)
  I chose to download a bunch of extra installer components, including the live installer and the SSH component.
  I had virtualbox switch me over from a private network to a bridge to my physical LAN after the installer setup the SSH component. I then reran "Configure the network" to get a new DHCP address.
  I chose to do a normal install under "install the system", not a live install.

  Other notes:
  The first time "Install the System" failed happened at 14:09 UTC. Any subsequent log entries were me retrying steps such as partition the disks and install the system (which failed every other time I ran it).
  As seen in one of the screenshots, /dev/saucy-server-vg/ does exist.
