Title:
  ubuntu installer crashes at "installing language packs"

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  A reproducible crash (happened 3 times out of 3 attempts), using 13.04
  daily-live/current/raring-desktop-amd64.iso.

  The cause seems to be this (from /var/log/syslog):

  Mar 11 23:44:44 ubuntu ubiquity: Error in function 
  Mar 11 23:44:44 ubuntu ubiquity: pulse
  Mar 11 23:44:44 ubuntu /plugininstall.py: Exception during installation:

  Attaching last ~200 lines of /var/log/syslog, not attaching partman as
  it doesn't seem relevant for this bug - partitioning worked correctly.
  If needed I can provide more info from the syslog, I just didn't want
  to include the whole file.
