[Bug 1000947] Re: Ubuntu 12.04 alternate install with LUKS fails on SSD

[Stephan Wissel]

More information:

Did a new install using priority=low on boot command line. This offers
more options. The reboot happens when installing software. I select
"Ubuntu desktop" and it will try to install about 1090 packages. The
"retrieve packages for all works. Then on installation when trying to
install the libre office impress packages it sends the termsig and the
machine shuts down.

I first though my memory stick might be faulty, so I downloaded a fresh
copy of the alternate installer iso (from the Singapore mirror - the
first ISO was via Bittorrent) and copied the iso on a CD and repeated.

Crashes at the same package.

Is there a way to slow the install down - on the same machine installing
onto a normal 500G disk (non SSD) works like a charm.

Title:
  Ubuntu 12.04 alternate install with LUKS fails on SSD

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  System:
  Lenovo W500, 8 GB RAM
  Transcend SSD720 256 GB
  USB Stick with Ubuntu 12.04 alternate installer

  New install of Ubuntu 12.04, for disk selected: guided partition, entire partition with LVM and LUKS encryption
  Installation seems to work as expected. Last step that asks for "Install GRUB" does NOT happen, system just boots.

  result /boot is empty

  Manually booted and manually mounted LUKS partitions: partitions are
  there.

  Tested with standard disk: works as expected.

  Suspicion: the SSD might be to fast, so installer mixes things up?
