Bug Description

The disc boots up fine, and gives an opportunity to update the installer first. This, however, will give no noticeable signal of any action.

Proceeding to install works all the way through partitioning, localisation and user setup, but somewhere down the installation process ubiquity crashes. The same thing also happens if I select 'Install without trying' option from the menu.

Attaching /var/log/installer/* files. Please let me know what else is needed.

Hmm, not much sign here of what went wrong, and my own test install completed without problems. Could you please attach /var/log/syslog too?

That session had been terminated already, so sorry I can't. But I tested 20120201 image just now, and it seems to fail in the same spot. Should I open a new bug about it? This time I have /var/log/installer/* files and /var/log/syslog from it, too.
