[Bug 1035679] Re: Ubuntu Installer crashes during installation

[Pascal de Bruijn]

Well, I don't think it is reproducable with the uncustomized cd... As my
current theory is one of the updates for Precise which I pulled in might
be causing this.

I've customized ISOs earlier without any problems, do mind, it's not
weird customization, mostly just pulling in updates and including some
extra packages (think gstreamer-* etc).

Here's the ISO with the issue:
  http://files.pcode.nl/isos/broken/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64-20120811-remastered.iso

And a video recording of the installation (7:00-8:00 is the interesting bit):
  http://files.pcode.nl/isos/broken/ubuntu_1204_ubiquity_fail.ogv

It seems to fail at "Creating user..."

While I realize that you're not going to support all kinds of customized
CDs, I wouldn't mind digging in a bit myself (because there's either a
issue with Ubiquity, or with the Ubuntu Construction Kit (UCK), so
something has to be fixed somewhere).

Would you mind giving me some pointers on how to best debug this issue?

Title:
  Ubuntu Installer crashes during installation

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Using a remastered Ubuntu installer ISO (on USB stick), I got this
  crash, which seems reproducable.

  The ISO was remastered using UCK (not 2.4.6, but the SVN version with
  some additional patches, where I fixed all remaining issues myself).

  The ISO includes all updates up to 20120810.
