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

[ajgreeny]

Same problem here, occurring at exactly the same point of the install on a Sempron 2400+, ATI 9200SE with open source driver, and 2GB ram.
I have tried installing from live session and direct from the first menu; same problem with both methods.
ISO file md5sum checks out OK as does the burned DVD when checked from the first DVD menu.

I have one disk in system with 10.04 running with no problems, using a
10GB / partition, 140GB /home and 2GB swap, and until today had 4 other
partitions on a second disk with Ubuntu 11.10, Xubuntu 11.10, Lubuntu
11.10 and Bodhi 1.4.0, all with data files linked from the 10.04 home to
their own root partition's /home folder.  Now the Ubuntu 11.10 has been
blown away by this attempt to install 12.04, not a disaster as it was
just a test partition, but I want to install 12.04 to see what all the
fuss is about.

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.
