Public bug reported:
I tried to install Kubuntu 15.04 nightly AMD64 (21 March 2015)
The installer hangs after selecting '3rd party software' / 'Download
updates while installing' - it doesn't get to 'Disk setup'
The 'workaround' is to cancel, start the installer again and it will get
to disk setup and finish the install.
I have recreated the issue over 4 times, as soon as you cancel the next
time it succeeds.
I hopefully have attached system logs , but here are the last 40 lines in
syslog:-
