Hotfix for Ubiquity crash due to "too many open files" when using python's apt cache module, based on Jason Conti's hint in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-apt/+bug/1051935 .
I had the same problem at another stage of install, sounds like the resource depletion discussed in link above. Downloading the attached hotfix into the LiveCD session and running it solved the error for me, but use at own risk as indicated by the disclaimer. ** Attachment added: "Hotfix for Ubiquity crash due to "too many open files"" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1063186/+attachment/3483286/+files/ubiquity_apt-cache_autogc.sh -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063186 Title: installing pinguy os /usr/share/ubiquity/plugininstall.py", line 1728, in <module> To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1063186/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
