[Bug 955617] [NEW] ubiquity hangs (no activity forever) at configuring target system

[Len Ovens]

Public bug reported:

This just started happening the last few days. (less than a week, but
march 13 and 14 ISOs for sure) Everything seems to installing fine till
the message line says configuring target system. The progress bar gets
about 1/4 over then stops. Disk activity stops, and nothing more
happens. Ubiquity still waiting now over 1/2 hour later. Booted to live
ubuntu studio live DVD ISO from SD card. Then double clicked install
icon on desktop. Ubiquity started up fine took information to install
and started installing... worked fine till hang.
