[Bug 801471] [NEW] Ubuntu 11.04 installer crash, right at the end

[Eric Ongerth]

Public bug reported:

I am filing this report not from inside the installer, but still before
a reboot.  So according to the instructions below, I will attach
/var/log/installer/syslog and /var/log/installer/partman.  I was unable
to file from inside the installer because the wireless connection widget
did not appear at that time so I couldn't access the 'net.

Oops... OK, well maybe the above isn't true?  Because there is /var/log,
but there is no /var/log/installer.  Also, I have /var/log/syslog but
NOT /var/log/partman.  The latter just is not there.  So I'm submitting
just /var/log/syslog.

So the incident I'm reporting is: right at the end of the installer,
just before it finished, a window popped up to say the installer crashed
and recommending that I should make this report.  Oh, one other thing
too... the installer crashed in my previous attempt too, which was an
attempt to do a side-by-side install with an existing Windows Vista.
That was my first and only attempt before, and it crashed early in the
process, like right after partition adjustment.  So I abandoned that,
rebooted from my USB stick with the live CD image on it, and this time
(my second attempt in total) told it to erase everything and just
install Ubuntu 11.04.  The process went well, including downloading
updates for a long time, but then right at the end it reported this
crash.  I guess that's all I can say about it.
