Regarding my duplicate bug #1285033 I have encountered this with both Ubuntu GNOME 20140226 i386 and amd64.

In both instances I was using manual partitioning (aka: Something else) with pre-existing partitions, then just selecting which partition to use for/. Perhaps importantly this test box has two drives, each with a swap partition, so I would also select "change" and then select "do not use this partition" on the swap partition I did not wish to use. I did allow grub to install to /dev/sda.

Of great importance is that this only happens if I choose NOT to auto-login! But it's not consistently reproducible so I need to hack away and see if I can find a truly 100% reproducible test-case.

What happens is that gdm seems to take a long time to appear (may mislead a user to think the system is frozen), then when it does load and you login apport auto reports this bug.
