[Lucid alpha2] Ubiquity exits without action

[Dmitry Tantsur]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

First of all installer crashed while installing (I didn't notice the exact moment).
I couldn't report it, your report system refused because of available updates (VERY stupid behaviour, by the way).
I installed updates and ran ubiquity again. I answered all questions and... nothing.
Ubiquity simple exits without any error (and nothing is written to the console).

I've found some things in my dmesg output, e.g.:
[ 2499.336638] ubiquity[30060]: segfault at 7feac2d19840 ip 00007fead7778ef4 sp 00007fff103e1350 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.2300.1[7fead773a000+c6000]

[Dmitry Tantsur (divius)]

Forgot to add: first crash appeared after I've updated ubiquity (there was a button on the first screen).
Now I'll try to install without this update.

[Dmitry Tantsur (divius)]

I succeeded in installation from alpha2 CD without updating ubiquity.

I hav the same bug both before and after updating. Sad =(
P.S. Дмитрий, приятно встретить русскоговорящего человека на ланчпаде =)

[K-9 (k-9)]

Tried updating libglib2.0-0. Gotta see if it works now...

[K-9 (k-9)]

Nothing =(. Trying full-upgrade now

[Dmitry Tantsur (divius)]

У меня получилось, только если ничего не апгрейдить. Как вариант можно
загрузиться с первой альфы, а потом обновиться.

That's what I get:
Jan 22 15:57:08 ubuntu kernel: [ 4360.586108] ubiquity[24405]: segfault at 6802be0 ip 002b40ae sp bf9803a0 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.2300.1[278000+b5000]

[Dmitry Tantsur (divius)]

The same thing. But what about clear alpha2 without any updates? What
about clear alpha1?

С чистой-то как раз грузится. Но фиксить все равно надо
It's fine with clean alpha 2 and alpha 1, but the bug needs fixing anyway

[Yann Sionneau (yann-sionneau)]

hi !
i have the same problem, i'm using the daily-live amd46 lucid desktop iso (that i am booting via grub2)
here are the last lines of my /var/log/syslog :
Feb 6 01:37:55 ubuntu ubiquity[12571]: switched to page summary
Feb 6 01:38:21 ubuntu ubiquity[12571]: debconffilter_done: ubiquity.components.summary (current: ubiquity.components.summary)
Feb 6 01:38:21 ubuntu ubiquity[12571]: Step_before = stepReady
Feb 6 01:38:21 ubuntu ubiquity[12571]: progress_loop()
Feb 6 01:38:21 ubuntu kernel: [ 500.847290] ubiquity[12571]: segfault at 7f64b29e3840 ip 00007f64c63d1d64 sp 00007fff67769140 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.2302.0[7f64c6392000+c9000]
the time is UTC+1 (from Paris)
ask me for more informations if you need to.
the crash happens at the last window of ubiquity, when there is the summary, i click on the button to start the install, and ubiquity just closes (segfault).

[Evan (ev)]

This sounds like a bug in webkitgtk. Can anyone that's seeing a segfault just after progress_loop() in syslog please try with the latest daily-live CD (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live) and let me know whether or not it's working now, and thus already been fixed?

For what it's worth, I just tried an install in Russian with the 20100326 CD and it worked fine, but this bug could be hardware-specific.

Thanks!

It worked fone for me in VirtualBox with Brazilian Portuguese Locale
