[Bug 996568] Re: Ubiquity 2.10.16: Lubuntu 12.04 Install Crash on slideshow

[David Lee]

Hi,

I can confirm that this bug exists in 12.04LTS release and that the
workaround works as well.

I am currently trying to install Ubuntu Precise onto a old desktop with
a SiS chipset and a Athlon XP CPU as well. Ubiquity would always crash
just when the slideshow is loading up. A method to outright tell
ubiquity to not show the slideshow would be a good workaround for this
issue. Either that, or providing text install as well with the live CD.

I'd also like to note that the alternate installer CD, for some reason,
would not work with this chipset- the chipset will not see the
bootloader on the CD.
