[Bug 1075343] Re: ubiquity hang after preparing install screen in 12.10

[TraceyC]

I confirm this bug still happens with the installer for 13.04. It is present in both the Ubuntu and Xubuntu installers. It occurs from both the Live CD and when choosing to install without trying X/Ubuntu.
This happened on a Lenovo W530 laptop.

Workaround:
Click "Quit" and confirm. Restart the installer, it will proceed normally.

Logs attached from my last Xubuntu install.
If I can provide any other information, I'm happy to do so, just ask.

Title:
  ubiquity hang after preparing install screen in 12.10

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using a usb-live-stick I try to install Lubuntu 12.10 (final) on my laptop and the following issue occurs: 
  After starting ubiquity, the installer hangs forever after the "preparing install" screen. 
  When hitting "continue" there is some usb-stick activity and some hard-disk activity and than nothing else happens. 
  I stopped ubiquity using the quit button. 

  Expected behavior: Provide choice about where to install ubuntu

  Further remarks: 
  My system: Samsung x20, laptop with intel centrino platform. 
  Live-system is running fine, including gparted, fdisk, sfdisk, grub
  I checked the usb-stick, before starting the system.
  One hard-disk, no raid, WinXP, Ubuntu 11.04, Ubuntu 12.04 already installed.
  In the past I had already problems to install on this laptop, with the live-installer. In the past I just used alternate installer which worked just fine. I am reporting this bug since the alternate disk is not available, now - so I would really like to see this issue fixed. 

  I started ubiquity in debug mode. log-files will be attached. 
  Please let me know if I can provide additional information.
