Just ran into it myself installing on an Acer Travelmate 2310. Obnoxious bug...
Workaround: Applications -> Accessories > Terminal Run command: sudo killall ubiquity In case you had some weird layout selected and for this reason you cannot write this command, copy paste it... (Or go to System -> Preferences > Keyboard and apply the default keyboard layout system wide...) Then run the installer again and you should be able to use the manual partitioner mode to reset the installation to install again the same way you were about to when it hung. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/645449 Title: Ubiquity hangs at Keyboard layout/Ready when you are -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
