Public bug reported:
I own a Lenovo X130e (2338CT). If I attempt to install Ubuntu 12.04 on
it, the installer goes into an infinite loop, ceasing to respond to user
input and consuming 100% of one core, as well as slowly consuming
additional RAM. If I let it run for a half hour the machine goes
completely unresponsive. (I assume this is a side-effect of running out
of RAM.)
Ubiquity always fails at the same spot. It's just after I fill out my
account information (full name, account name, computer name, whether I
want an encrypted home directory). Immediately after I press "Continue"
on that dialog, the cursor changes to the round busy clock cursor, and
Ubiquity begins consuming 100% of CPU etc etc. (I believe the next
screen is the "choose your account picture / take a picture" wizard.)
Barry Warsaw (and a helpful Toshio from Red Hat) examined the machine at
PyCon and observed this behavior. They weren't able to discover any
more than the above.
I have reproduced it with 12.04 daily builds over the past several
weeks. The most recent one I tried was the 3/28 build (sha1sum started
with "8a235"). They all exhibit the exact same behavior.
Varying the install options doesn't seem to affect the behavior--it
still stops at the same spot. It doesn't matter whether I have a
separate home partition, or what filesystem I use for the partitions, or
whether or not I have swap. (I admit I haven't tried experimenting with
different time zones and keyboard configurations.)
My X130e is configured as following:
* Intel Core i3-2367M
* 4GB memory
* OCZ Vertex 2 SSD 240GB MAX-IOPS (installed myself)
* Bluetooth module
* Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 (2x2 ABGN)
* No integrated broadband adapter
I am a reasonably sophisticated computer user and am willing to run
experiments on the laptop upon request.
