[Bug 220961] Re: [MASTER] ubiquity crashes instead of notifying the user of not enough disk space

[Jetstorm]

Attempting to install 14.10 dual boot along side windows 8 on HP Stream
11 laptop.

The installer automatically resized the Ubuntu partition to 7.1 GB. I
applied the "install updates" during installation. It copied and
installed everything just fine up to the point where it was "configuring
the linux image extras" and then the installer crashed out.

I will add that the installer was taking a very long time, over an hour
just to get to this point where it crashed.

I'll try to partition the drive myself or try it without the updates and
see if that works.
