[Bug 1256588] Re: PPC: LiveCD installation window vanishes during installation

[Adam Smith]

This isn't a duplicate of bug 1296386 (although it would be nice if that
and it's fellow sound bugs were fixed).  The snippet in #40 would only
be produced on computers that used to use snd-powermac, but now should
be using snd-aoa (the code to deprecate snd-powermac has not been
written yet).  On computers that have used snd-aoa for years (i.e. they
have a fabric layout), snd_powermac is just unloaded.  However, they
still suffer from this bug.  It is definitly slideshow related and has
the same symptoms as 996568.

Title:
  PPC: LiveCD installation window vanishes during installation

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I attempted to install from the 20131130 PPC LiveCD via usb flash
  drive. I used the erase entire drive option.

  The installation window proceeds until where the slide show would
  begin. At that point, there is a blank area where the first slide
  would normally be. The progress text reads copying files.

  After about 30 seconds, the entire installation window vanishes, and
  all that is left is the spinning gear. After 90 minutes, the
  installation never finished. I ran ubuntu-bug ubiquity from a
  terminal, and then I did a forced shutdown from the power button on
  the computer. I could not get to a console.

  Examining the hard drive, the installer looks to have partitioned the
  drive, but only installed three folders: /etc., /lost+found, and
  /media.
