Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Trying to do testing of daily iso build for Kubuntu i386 desktop iso for
25/03/2007
test system is HP pavilion notebook N5472
1Ghz Intel Celeron CPU
256MB RAM
20GB Hitachi HDD
md5sum for the iso checks out OK. I have burned the iso twice, once at 10x and
once at 4x, same results with both disks. Both disks pass the 'check CD for
defects' test. Both run fine as a LiveCD, able to launch applications browse
the web etc. When I try to run the installer I get the same result both times.
The installation process goes through (very slowly) until step 4 of 6 when it
tries to start the partitioning tool. The progress meter ticks up to 100% with
message reading 'detecting file systems'. this process takes about 20min+ to
complete. Then after another 20min I get a window titled 'Installer crashed'
and a box with a traceback in it.
At this point the system locks up completely and I get no response from
mouse or keyboard. So I can't grab the traceback or the syslogs. If
anyone can tell me how I'll happily reproduce the error and grab the
info. I'm aware that 256MB is not a lot of RAM to be running a
LiveCD/Graphical Installer, on the other hand the download page does
list 192MB as the minimum so this should be at least theoretically
possible.
