[Bug 1450490] [NEW] Initial installer run on Dell XPS13 (9343), crash while creating recovery media

[Lurchman]

Public bug reported:

Newly-received Dell XPS 13 (9343), UK model CNX4313 with Ubuntu 14.04
pre-installed.

Very first power-on, and running through the initial 'setup' process.
Inserted a 2GB USB Flash drive, and chose to create recovery media.
Process started chugging away, and then suddenly crashed for no apparent
reason.
