Title:
  Installation fail

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Just downloaded latest version of ubuntu 14 and want to install it on
  a blank partition which I have created on my Acer Laptop TravelMate
  model 7320 along side Windows 7 Pro 32bit.  The windows program works
  fine and has been running for about 2 years now without a problem.

  I have prepared a flash drive containg the installation files.  It
  loads ok from the flash drive and get to the point where I get two
  options.

  Option 1 is Try Ubuntu and
  Option 2 is Install ubuntu.

   I have tried opion 1 which seems to work to a point but it wants an
  internet connection but I am on a wireless connection.  It can't
  connect as it fails to find driver for the wi-fi card.

   When I try to install to the hard drive it takes me through the first
  few steps up to the point where it asks for my location which it
  correctly identifies as Johannesburg (South Africa) and at that point
  it pops up a message that the installer fails (crashes) with errno 5.
  and generates a bug report of some sort and connects me to launchpad
  to report the problem.

  As I am new to linux/ubuntu I don't understand the questions you are
  asking me or how to get any of the files listed below.  Since
  installion crashes I am not in a position to attach any files.
