[Bug 995126] Re: 12.04 (i386) installer crashes after "import account" wizard

[aimwin]

I have test more installation,
got 2 syslog attached one on 23 July (I will include 17 July next post)

I had screen shorts recorded the error pages too, if the Gurus need to see.
(I got that when I try to install from booted sda3 12.04 to my sda12 as a second ubuntu 12.04 in my note book.

It report migration-assistant cannot unmounted sda3,
I have to click go back button,
it will exit the installation at this point and report error while migrating data
(though I did not click the sda3 for import at all, and always)

Then it gave successful installation and ask us to reboot.
It fail to reinstall grub, so you will end up with old grub menu.
================

I found work around this grub update error by

1. Installing Boot Repair in the USB live and use Boot Repair to update
Grub that has option to boot into new "fail" Unbuntu 12.04 installation.

2. I boot into existing "Good" Ubuntu partition and use Grub Customiser
to write to MBR the new update with new"fail" Ubuntu 12.04 installation
(Boot Repair did not allow us to update grub, it told me to do the no.1
so I did that successfully)

The "fail" ubuntu 12.04 after this work around perform well with no sign of crippled Ubuntu.
I can install many other programs including Epson TX series and use it perfectly.
Wifi function ok.
I would say 100% working.

Title:
  12.04 (i386) installer crashes after "import account" wizard

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When attempting to install 12.04 desktop i386 PP on a athlon XP 2200+
  with 512MiB of RAM (there is swap partition on disk) and a Geforce 4
  MX 440 and a 22GiB free partition, the installer crashes after the
  "Import account" wizard/page.

  I have a 10.04 installation on another partition.
  I have checked both the iso and the burned CD or the usb key I am using to perform the install. I am using ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso

  I proceed to the different step of the installer without problem. I
  could even wait it copies all the files, and then proceed through the
  other step

  And only when I click continue at the import account page, whether I
  select the displayed account or not, the installer disappears from
  screen (I am assuming it crashes) (after showing the right arrow of
  the ending diaporama I am guessing)

  I am guessing either it is because of the import account wizzard, or
  the diaporama, or another operation performed at that moment

  I performed a total of at least 5 installations, with CD or USB, in
  french, in english, changing various option, with or without wifi
  enabled and it's always crashing at the same place.
