Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

While trying to install Ubuntu 6.06LTS from a CD while installing I got this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 130, in ?
  install(sys.argv[1])
 File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 55, in install
  ret = wizard.run()
 File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkuy.py", line 264, in run
  self.progress_loop()
 File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkuy.py", line 538, in progress_loop
  raise RuntimeError, ("install failed with exit code %s; see"
RuntimeError: install failed with exit code 1; see /var/log/installer/syslog and var/log/syslog

The message above that also told me to include some files:

/var/log/installer/syslog
/var/log/syslog
/var/log/partman

butr unfortunately I couldn't reach those files because not a single program worked anymore. I can still move the mouse around, but that's it. (if u wonder how I'm typing this: I have 2 PC's :) )

My specs:

COMPAQ Presario 2300 - 2104EA
512MB RAM
Radeon graphics card (can't check which one it is now, because Linux crashed :p)

Triaged to Incomplete. Run the Check CD option to make sure the CD is OK. Then try booting to safe graphics mode, then try intall.

Are you able to reproduce this in Ubuntu 8.04? Do you have a serial port and cable that you could use to create a serial console for the purpose of obtaining a log?

Thanks!
