Hi All, I had a look at syslog after a failed 12.04 install. It reads:-
Apr 26 17:20:52 ubuntu ubiquity[3080]: Step_before = stepUserInfo Apr 26 17:22:17 ubuntu install.py: Exception during installation: Apr 26 17:22:17 ubuntu install.py: Traceback (most recent call last): Apr 26 17:22:17 ubuntu install.py: File "/usr/share/ubiquity/install.py", line 689, in <module> Apr 26 17:22:17 ubuntu install.py: install.run() Apr 26 17:22:17 ubuntu install.py: File "/usr/share/ubiquity/install.py", line 129, in run Apr 26 17:22:17 ubuntu install.py: self.copy_all() Apr 26 17:22:17 ubuntu install.py: File "/usr/share/ubiquity/install.py", line 465, in copy_all Apr 26 17:22:17 ubuntu install.py: self.db.progress('SET', 10 + copy_progress) Apr 26 17:22:17 ubuntu install.py: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/debconf.py", line 60, in <lambda> Apr 26 17:22:17 ubuntu install.py: lambda *args, **kw: self.command(command, *args, **kw)) Apr 26 17:22:17 ubuntu install.py: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/debconf.py", line 65, in command Apr 26 17:22:17 ubuntu install.py: self.write.flush() Apr 26 17:22:17 ubuntu install.py: IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe Apr 26 17:22:17 ubuntu install.py: Apr 26 17:23:40 ubuntu kernel: [ 814.991778] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Setting dpms mode 3 on vga encoder (output 0) Apr 26 17:23:40 ubuntu kernel: [ 815.012036] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Setting dpms mode 0 on vga encoder (output 0) Apr 26 17:23:40 ubuntu kernel: [ 815.012046] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Output VGA-1 is running on CRTC 0 using output A Apr 26 17:23:43 ubuntu acpid: client 2408[0:0] has disconnected Apr 26 17:23:43 ubuntu acpid: client connected from 11449[0:0] Apr 26 17:23:43 ubuntu acpid: 1 client rule loaded Now I'm only a Python tourist but I figure you should set up your exception handlers to preserve the name of the file in question so it can be displayed to the user trying to do the install. See attached partmon and syslog files for fun :) BTW: What are the hardware requirements for this install? I've got 512MB RAM.
