[Bug 1267657] [NEW] Ubuntu 12.04.3 - 32bit installation failed

[Mark Thompson]

Public bug reported:

The installer "crashed" after spending a lot of time downloading
language packages.  However, it must have been largely successful,
because I'm typing this on the same machine immediately following the
crash.   Weird.   No desktop visible, though.  Just a Firefox window.
This is not a parallel installation, but rather a complete replacement
of windows XP professional.   I saw the Ubuntu desktop working briefly
on this machine on an earlier trial, so I was confident enough to go for
the replacement.  Maybe I jumped too soon because now my sytemt has no
working operating system.  It's "bricked."  :(
