[Nataraja Godina]

Public bug reported:

Using live USB to install which at the fag end of the installation shows
this error message saying the installer has crashed.  But I also see
another modal window with message "Installation is complete. You need to
restart the computer in order to use the new installation. "Restart Now"
button.
