Ubuntu installer crashed on fresh install

[Robert John Bowles]

Ubiquity crashed during a fresh install on a brand new PC.

The requested partitioning was as follows:
Root 25 Gb
Swap 10 Gb
/home 65 Gb (the reaminder of the disk)

Requested update of software and download of fluendo.

The second attempt, overwriting the failed install, succeeded.

I can only speculate the original failure was generated by a bad internet connection.
