I saw the exact same problem when installing Kubuntu 8.10 Beta 1. I booted in the Installer mode, and I got the ubiquity window when X started but nothing happened. Switching to terminal two, top confirmed that ubiquity was using 100% cpu time (well, 50%, as its a dualcore machine). So I killed the ubiquity process, which caused KDE to start on the X terminal.
When KDE was started, I could click the installation icon, and the installation started, and finished as it should. However during the installation ubiquity was using 100% cpu most of the time. After the installation had completed, and I booted the machine, I got a warning from the package management that the installation of the language pack wasn't complete. I don't think that I was asked which language I would like to use, except at the isolinux prompt. In the logs, I saw the same as in the already attached syslog, that ubiquity after two log-output lines output two identical "switched to page stepLanguage" lines. The machine I installed on was a Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook P7320, which has a 32-bit processor. If you need any more information, I'll happily provide it. -- Ubiquity hangs (100% cpu) during installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277780 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
