Bug Description
This really is a re-filing of https:/
That bug report was reported as 'Fix Released' (for a number of days the issue WAS unable to be re-created), but every so often daily builds had it re-occur (then occur for days..).
I did this identical QA-test install using yesterday's daily build and had NO issues, today it crashes.
dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e8300, 8gb, amd/ati radeon rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)
Session log will be attached, I'll re-run the install with calamares verbose logging (which sometimes fails, sometimes passes.. but hasn't been run/attempted yet).

testcase: full disk, bios, no encryption, internet
I don't see need to do installs this early, however this is for purposes of https:/

This is a ~exact re-run of the QA-test that was used for led to the creation of this bug report.
I booted same box, changed screens to match my setup (right display is portrait-left tilted) as done last test
Then opened terminal and ran `sudo -E calamares -d` INSTEAD of clicking install icon on desktop
FYI: Calamares will show being loaded twice; this was my error, as opened at terminal first time, it displayed on my portrait-left tilted display and was unusable (buttons were off screen), I was unable to move window to other display so exited.... This behavior has been noted before, maybe requires bug report, but I'm ignoring that currently... Mentioned here only to explain why calamares was run twice in log (opened both times with same command)
With the run of `calamares -d` instead, the install was flawless (I haven't rebooted & tested yet, but I'm betting it is).
This is the log - ~/.cache/ calamares/ session. log
