the installer froze when I changed the time

[white]

Ubuntu 6.10

When choosing my city on the map of the world I noticed the time was not
right. System clock was not UTC but localtime because of Windows, so
Ubuntu guessed my time wrong. I clicked to change it, but then the
installation application froze and nothing reacted on it anymore
(Forward button, Backward button...). I could still move the window
around on the desktop though.

I killed the graphical environment (Control-Alt-Backspace), waited for
automatic reconnection, then started again. The time was right then (so
my change had been taken into account) and I could proceed till the end
of the installation process.

I tried triaging your bug, but was unable to get it to freeze. I think the Ubiquity team will need more information or a log of the crash (if there is one) to fix the problem.

[Henrik Nilsen Omma (henrik)]

Yes, I think log files would be helpful in tracking this down, esp /var/log/syslog.

Would you mind trying to repeat the install to get them (you can stop before the actual installation step). This page contains detailed information on uploading log files: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity/AttachingLogs

Thanks!

  * Remove "Set Time..." button, which is far more trouble than it's worth
    (LP: #49412, #52716, #52717, #73907, #76564). You can adjust the time
    after installation.
  * Fix a silly typo while setting up the resize progress bar (LP: #77523).
  * Don't say "beta version" in the alpha intro message.
  * Move language list box to the left-hand side of its page rather than the
    bottom, on the basis that you have to choose a language before you can
    read the text.
  * Switch to glade-3 (those with branches that modify ubiquity.glade, take
    note).
  * Add special cases to restore correct handling of Chinese and Portuguese
    language codes.
  * If /cdrom/.disk/release_notes_url is present, display a link to the
    release notes on the language page. See doc/README for the format
    (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubiquity-release-notes).
  * Remove no-longer-canonical /distros from Launchpad URLs.
  * Sync up hostname handling with netcfg; it now allows hostnames between 2
    and 63 characters in length, forbids them starting or ending with a
    hyphen, and interprets hostnames containing dots as hostname.domain and
    adjusts /etc/hosts accordingly (LP: #52501, #72909).

  * Port KDE frontend to Qt 4
