[Bug 855042] Re: ubiquity hangs while jockey-text at 100% CPU

[Colin Watson]

def check_composite(self):
        '''Check for a composite-enabling X.org driver.

        If one is available and not installed, offer to install it and return
        True if installation succeeded. Otherwise return False.
        '''

        h_id = self.backend().check_composite()

        if h_id:
            self.set_handler_enable(h_id, 'enable', True)
            return bool(self.backend().handler_info(h_id)['enabled'])

        self.error_msg(self._('There is no available graphics driver for your system which supports the composite extension, or the current one already supports it.'))
        return False

Looks like this always asks for confirmation regardless?

Title:
  ubiquity hangs while jockey-text at 100% CPU

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Expected: Installer to complete "installing base system".
  Actual: Ubiquity hangs toward the end of the install. 

  'top' shows jockey-text at 100% CPU usage. Tailing the logs doesn't
  provide any insight. Will try this again with ubiquity in debug mode
  ...

  This is  ubuntu-oneiric-desktop-amd64+mac.iso on a MacBookPro6,2

  The installer is running in German, but that may not be relevant.
