[Bug 968216] Re: IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

[Jan Middelkoop]

I can confirm that this bug is still present in Ubuntu 12.10.
Installation goes fine, up until all files are copied and the installer
goes to "Installing system" where the slideshow rolls.

The workaround to remove the ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu package
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1010461) before
installing from the live session still works.

Without the workaround, installing on an Acer Aspire 1357LMi is
impossible.  The installer leaves a half-finished system, without
bootloader and initramfs.

Processor is AMD Athlon XP-M 3000+, there is no sse2 instruction set in
/proc/cpuinfo.
