[Bug 1480624] Re: Ubuntu 64bit Desktop 15.04 installation crashes while copying files

[Phillip Susi]

Your installation medium is corrupt.  You will need to recreate it and
should verify it using the check disc option from the boot menu.

Title:
  Ubuntu 64bit Desktop 15.04 installation crashes while copying files

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  During the "copying files" step, the Ubuntu 64-bit Desktop 15.04
  installation crashes with an I/O error dialog: [Errno 5] Input/output
  error.  Very helpful.

  This is a clean installation on a new 500GB dynamically-allocated virtual hard-drive from an ISO file, rather than a physical disc.  I chose not to download
  updates while installing, nor to install the third-party software.

  I'm running within the current version of VirtualBox (4.4.30,
  r101610), and I suspect it's a compatibility issue with one of my
  system settings, so is a brief summary of what I changed compared to
  the default:

  * Shared Clipboard -> Host-to-Guest (very unlikely)
  * Base Memory 2048MB, Enable I/O APIC
  * 4 processors, 100% execution cap, PAE/NX enabled
  * Video memory 128MB (likely irrelevant)

  Since initially submitting this, I have also tested it with 1
  processor and no I/O APIC; and separately with PAE/NX disabled -
  neither made a difference.

  As for the host machine, yes, I have enough hard drive space (2TB
  free), enough memory, and a modern, 64-bit processor (i7-2600k with "8
  cores").  I also ran the Windows 7 built-in error checking tool on the
  host hard drive, and it found no errors.
