I just checked the version via the help menu, it seems to be:
"This is version 19.11.1 of the installer."

And I see a couple of crash files:
root@ubuntu-server:/var/crash# ls installer.1575387908.716259003.block_probe_fail.meta installer.1575387908.724575281.block_probe_fail.crash installer.1575387908.724575281.block_probe_fail.meta installer.1575387908.728675842.disk_probe_fail.meta installer.1575387908.736153364.disk_probe_fail.crash installer.1575387908.736153364.disk_probe_fail.meta installer.1575387908.760161877.block_probe_fail.crash installer.1575387908.760161877.block_probe_fail.meta installer.1575387908.771270037.disk_probe_fail.crash installer.1575387908.771270037.disk_probe_fail.meta installer.1575387912.601643562.block_probe_fail.crash installer.1575387912.601643562.block_probe_fail.meta installer.1575387912.611478090.disk_probe_fail.crash installer.1575387912.611478090.disk_probe_fail.meta installer.1575388002.636119604.block_probe_fail.crash installer.1575388002.636119604.block_probe_fail.meta installer.1575388002.657082558.block_probe_fail.crash installer.1575388002.657082558.block_probe_fail.meta

But it's a bit difficult to copy these files over.
Initially I thought that the network configuration that's done in the parmfile will be picked up by the installer, so that it already has a network access while running in UI mode, but that wasn't the case.
So I configured the network manually, but it wasn't enabled immediately - I couldn't connect to that LPAR (that was still in install mode), nor I was able to connect (from Exit to shell) to any other system. [I probably should have setup the network from the shell and not the UI, will re-try that later...]]
Hence I completed the installation and rebooted - hoping to still find the files.
There is as usual the /var/log/installer stuff - that I attached here, but the crash (and meta) files were gone (wouldn't it be good to copy them over at the end of an installation to /var/log/installer ?)
Anyway, I hope that the /var/log/installer files are helpful.
