Installation freezes at "Configuring Infrared Devices"

[QA_manager]

Installing Mythbuntu 10.04 Beta 1. I am installing a standalone Backend, which doesn't have a remote control (no surprise there). Installation goes fine up to the 82% mark, then hangs displaying "Configuring Infrared Devices". This is on a system that runs 9.04 just fine. I tried the daily build a week ago (13 March) and it had the exact same bug, but I didn't know where to report daily build bugs.

Since this one will prevent just about anyone from building a Primary Backend, I think it should be a pretty high priority to fix.

Can you reproduce this? If so, can you please try running ubiquity in debug mode and making all the same selections?

To run it in debug mode, you can launch ubiquity from the command line in the live environment like this:

"ubiquity -d"

After that, please upload your logs using

"ubuntu-bug ubiquity"

When the installation would have failed.

I think it is completely reproduceable, since the daily build from last week did exactly the same thing. I selected 'Primary Backend' and then took the defaults, with a couple of exceptions:

 1) 'Primary Backend' does not automatically select the service that the frontend requires - I forget the name - but I selected it. I think I wrote a bug for that back around 9.04.

 2) I turned off SMB and turned on VNC.

I think for everything else I took the default - open source video driver, no IR remote, etc.

I can try it again tonight. I have to reboot after the installation hangs; I hope you get what you need from the logs.

OK, I had to create a new bug, #544711, but all the logs are there. Please let me know if you need anything else.

No problem. I'll mark this as a duplicate accordingly. Thanks for following up!
