[Bug 792652] Re: ubiquity crashed with ValueError in command(): I/O operation on closed file

[Barry Warsaw]

Hi Brian.  I've tried your recipe in #11 several times on various
configurations (two completely different VM systems - I don't have a
native machine to install on) and I am still unable to reproduce this.
I'm probably just not being quick enough.

Title:
  ubiquity crashed with ValueError in command(): I/O operation on closed
  file

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I got this problem when I was trying clicking the Install Ubuntu 11.04
  from the desktop on Asus 1215B red.

  TEST CASE
  1. Boot from a Live media
  2. At Ubiquity Greeter click on 'Try Ubuntu' and start a live session
  3. Start ubiquity
  4. Proceed to step 'Prepare'
  5. Click on 'Continue' then quickly click on 'Quit' on the main dialog then 'Quit' on the confirmation dialog before the UI switches to step 'partman'

  Note:
  Timing seems important and you need to repeat steps 3 to 5 and clicking at slightly different moment until it crashes. It is easier to reproduce on low-end hardware than VM.
  Also I reproduced it more often with other languages than english.

  ACTUAL RESULT
  This crash or UI hang
