Hi,

Thank you for the testing and feedback there

Never noticed this one there, could you open a bug on update-notifier if
you can reproduce the issue and there is no bug open about it yet?

The issue is probably an ubiquity one, could you open a bug if there is
none opened about that yet?

Did you try with today's image or again with the alpha3 one? There was a
crasher which looks similar to what you describe which has been fixed in
lucid yesterday (so today's daily should work correctly).

That's a known plymouth issue

Not easy to say without seeing the stacktrace, open the bugs if you want
to be sure about those

Do the mixer dialog works correctly? You can open a bug on
indicator-sound about the applet issue

That's a known standing issue...

The installer might be using the second one, it would be worth checking
with the ubiquity team for this one
