Hi Matt,

I hope ubiquity(the installer) has not rendered your system unbootable.

I have just red the story that syslog try to tell me. As far as I can
see ubiquity has trouble to allocate memory as you can see for example
here:

Jun 18 09:52:21 ubuntu plugininstall.py: OSError: [Errno 12] Cannot
allocate memory

It has tried it tree times and give finally up. That is the cause for
the cascading exceptions.

---------------------------------------------------------------

So interpretion of this may be a wrong allocate line in ubiquity itself,
not enough harddisk memory(seems to be apt cache - package storage
before install of it), or simple a defect RAM.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Because this report is dated to 18-6-2012 and the program versions have 
changed, are you willing to do a simple retest of this issue with the latest 
program versions.

We have for this daily builds which incorporate them. You can find them
here:

---------------------------------------------------------------

A helpfull tool for simple work with checksums for download validity is
a firefox extension called downthemall.

On download you can choose sha256 instead of simple MD5.

Thank you in advance
