Public bug reported:
When I was installed 15.10 Wiley there was no warning given via the
graphical installer (started from the desktop) that after I had created
a new user (password + home dir settings) that it was going to format my
swap partitions with dd. This took a while as they are pretty large. I
only discovered what had hung the installer by running a terminal and
watching what processes ubiquity had spawned.
The installer should inform the user that it is doing this, why it is
currently "hung", and perhaps if possible give a progress bar.
Regardless just hanging after account creation leaves the user uneasy
about the success of installation.
