[Bug 1275488] [NEW] Kubuntu installer crashes after copying files

[Michael]

Public bug reported:

I am can not install Kubuntu newer than 12.04 (i.e. 13.04 - 14.04 testing). The installer crashes after copying files, on configuring step. It shows me a window where "ubuntu-bug ubiquity" command is suggested and all installer windows just disappears in few seconds.
Note: this time I tried to install development preview of Kubuntu, installer silently crashed first time at manual partitioning page. My second try ended with same behaviour I saw in 13.04 and 13.10 installers.
Please ask any further information. This is first time I reporting a bug on Launchpad.
