Bug Description
Installing the ubuntu-
Have been having trying to get Ubuntu 12.10 on this system, and was advised to do the following prior to starting the upgrade.
in a terminal window entered the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubiquity gparted
sudo apt-get clean
Ubuntu grinds away for awhile, and then reports the install crashed, and generated bug report. I am filing this form from a browser that is running on the system that was running 12.04 and the installer crash occuring on the attempt to upgrade to 12.10.
When I try to do an install of 12.10 or 12.04, both will run a text screen that says
Starting CPU interrupt balancing daemon
save kernel messages
Starting Crash reporting daemon
and the system hangs here
