  Installing from USB flash drive, used dd method for copy to usb.
  Installation works up to entering user info and continuing from there.
  Copying files to "Target" has completed, Slideshow begins, UI crashes.

  apport does not catch this crash, cursor turns to "spinner"
  Live Session continues to work just fine, can restart ubiquity
  It crashes at same point, or very nearly same point.
  Start ubiquity from terminal same behavior, no feedback when UI quits.

  I have been having this problem since Nov. 2011 with Live-CD
  Reproducable ad infinitum on my hardware. dozens of tries.
  Only avenue of install for me is Alternate-CD.
