** Tags added: apport-collected kubuntu saucy ubiquity-2.15.20 ** Description changed: I am using the Kubuntu Beta 2 Live CD to install it on my Sony Vaio SVS13A190X laptop. It has one SSD with GPT partition and uses UEFI. After the prepare step, the installer hangs, presumably because of an inability to read some partitions, going by the syslog (attached). - There is no indication of error, the installer is just stuck with the - "Wait" mouse pointer spinning. I have used the Kubuntu 13.04 in the past - to install successfully on this laptop. + There is no indication of error, the installer is just stuck with the "Wait" mouse pointer spinning.
