It does take a while for the emulator to finish some operations. I'd
recommend to wait for a bit until it's finished the language pack
installation, and please check that you don't have other apps running that
are taking a lot of memory or CPU time, which sometimes cause the emulator
to get out of memory or to slow down quite a bit. You can use htop to check
that out.

If all fails, I'd suggest to restart the emulator and try again.

I'm guessing you meant you are running 1*2*.04 instead of 10.04, so glad to
know the emulator works in Precise!

Cheers,
David.
