Ubiquity freeze during loading step 3 (Ubuntu AND Kubuntu flight-7)

[Marco Cimmino]

On an old PC:
P3 450 mhz
soyo mobo with i440bx2
192 MB of ram
riva tnt2 16 MB
creative PCI 128

- open ubiquity
- click next
- choose ITA (with english all works well)
- click next, after loading something from the cd it freeze

after freeze with Kubuntu the free memory in unionfs is 78/647 MB, in Ubuntu 81/657 MB.
Both freeze during loading step 3, step 2 remains visible!

freeze: no mouse activity, no keyboard activity, none!
I tried kubuntu and ubuntu flight-7 so it isn't related to the gui I think.

In this image you can see the last thing in /var/log/syslog (have to zoom)

With my pc (Athlon 64 3000+, 1 GB of ram) italian language works ok.

If you don't have swap set up, then it is bug 43071.

[Marco Cimmino (cimmo)]

Swap? I have only run live-cd, how to enable swap?

[Krzysztof Lichota (krzysiek-launchpad-ubuntu-com)]

Have you ever installed Linux on this machine?
If you did, you should have "swap" partition on disk.
If not, you don't have swap :)

So I don't have swap!

Fix has been uploaded by Colin Watson, which should help with smaller amount of memory. Please try daily live CD snapshots or wait for next flight release (flight 8 or beta).
