Title:
  At e few minutes before installing Ubuntu into a new hard drive the
  installation crashed and

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Installer crashed minutes before finishing the install. No indication why, just showed on screen that the installer crashed and that a report would be send to an expert technician.
  I followed the instructions as they showed up on screen. Did not see anything at all while watching the install why the installer crashed, it just quit installing. The only way I knew was because the message on screen said so.

  This was a new install on newly purchased hard drive, following the
  instructions as of how to install Ubuntu from a printout pulled from
  the internet.

  I was trying to get a way from WIndows after having it running side by
  side with Ubuntu on this Gateway MX8711 laptop. To make sure that I
  would not have any problems I purchased the new drive.

  Sure hope that you may be able to help me with this. I cant go back to
  Windows as I don't have a  OS disk  for it, it was pre-installed.

  Thank you.

  The installer indicate that it would send a complete report on line to
  where it should go and this request for more info. Sorry that I have
  noting more to help you with. Just, started install, went fine until
  just seconds or minutes before  it should have been completed.
