Bug Description
Problem: The Oneiric Installer never finishes when running in oem-mode and when the webcam plugin is in use.
How reproducible: Always
Steps to reproduce:
1) Find a laptop with a working webcam.
2) Boot up with the amd64 version of today's Oneiric Desktop build (20110906 in this case).
3) From the main menu, select "install ubuntu"
4) Press F4 and select OEM Mode
5) Kick off the install
6) Select Language, wifi options, etc.
7) Erase and Install Ubuntu, verify partitioning scheme, select "Install Now"
8) Select Timezone
9) Select Keyboard
10) Fill in the oem username and password
11) Choose a log in picture, either with the webcam or one of the stock photos
Actual Result:
After selecting the photo and proceeding, the slideshow begins and the installer goes through the "Copy Files..." stage. After that, the installer fails to proceed any further. It does NOT crash. Instead it remains on the slide show, with the progress bar all the way at the end, and the "Ready when you are..." indicator at the bottom of the window. One cannot proceed further.
Expected Result:
Installer should complete and user should be able continue with the rest of oem-mode setup and installation.
Note: This ONLY happens when using the webcam and the webcam plugin. I also tested the same scenario on a machine with no webcam, and oem-mode ran fully to completion. This problem does not reproduce on a regular ubuntu installation, with or without the webcam plugin in the mix.

The logs in the previous comment are from a working system, where no webcam was involved.
I am also attaching the logs from a system that failed to complete installation in oem-mode (see logs.tar.gz).
Please let me know if I can get anything else for you on this.
