Triaged to incomplete. How much total memory in Host Machine? How much memory dedicated to VM? If less than 384 MB expect problems with ubiquity installer.

I don't remember exactly but I guess around 300 MB, maybe little less.

I thought a lack of RAM could lead to unresponsive system but not to
ubiquity crash.

Thanks anyway.

Thanks for your quick response.

Remarking to Confirmed to preserve use case of VM install problem with 300 MB of RAM. I really don't know what the minimum RAM requirement is. I know the Live CD will run in 256 MB of RAM, but the installer needs more. How much more? Well, more than 300 MB in this case.

Gutsy reached end of life some time ago. Are you able to reproduce this on a supported release?
