ubiquity installer hangs at "Copying installation logs" in Ubuntu 12.10 x64

[Daniel Motles]

When trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 x64 alongside windows 7 on asus g73jh laptop, the installer proceeds all the way through to the "Copying installation logs..." phase, and hangs forever (or at least over 1 hour). I went to another tty to try and see if I could coax it to move along. Unfortunately I know little of how the whole installer system works, so I just tried to grab as much data as possible to hopefully make it clear to someone who does know the system to take a look and fix it.

This is Ubiquity Version 2.12.16

I have attached strace, lsof, and ps output (from what I believe is the right process) to hopefully give a better image of what's happening. It looks like some sort of deadlock issue. Let me know if I should be doing something else too.
