[Bug 1267657] Re: Ubuntu 12.04.3 - 32bit installation failed

[Mark Thompson]

Immediately after the crash, I restarted and reinstalled Ubuntu 12.04
and it worked successfully.  The installation seemed to begin where it
left off (i.e. crashed)  and was done in no time at all.  I'm pleased
with the result.

Title:
  Ubuntu 12.04.3 - 32bit installation failed

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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."  :(
