I can confirm this bug too, it happens before the first slideshow change
to the second one, and even worst the installer keeps running without
knowing what is really going on with the installation.

I have an older computer, Intel Pentium III, 512MB of ram, with intel
integrated graphics.

It understandable that the Lubuntu team didn't found this bug before
releasing the official version of 12.04, but even the wiki of ubuntu
said that ubiquity consume almost 700MB of ram and in top of that
recommends a distribution that consume less ram using the same bugged
ubiquity. I consider that ubiquity isn't necessary, there are more
effective ways of having a nice installer without compromising the user
experiance and gives better results than using ubiquity, and that's what
Lubuntu needs, not a "nice" slideshow, not a "parallel" installation
while you still configuring the computer, just the basic things that we
need to install Lubuntu successfully.
