Precise; fresh install "installer crashed"

[Paul Sladen]

At the GUI section of the installer.

  1. In the slideshow, clicked a link to "canonical.com/support"
  2. Brower opened
  3. "Installer crashed" message popped up
  4. Clicked "don't send debug" because of password message (why the heck is this even in the log?!?!)
  5. Browser popped up, then immediately screen went blank (is the Window Manager a child of the installer and so exiting at the same time)
  6. Ctrl-Alt-F1 and "unity --replace"
  7. See brower again, continue filing this.
