The Ubuntu installer crashed during installation -E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I don't know. Other ubuiquity crashing. Nothing new there. The nice fancy installer doesn't give this much information. This is what happens when what is actually happening is obscured and hidden away from sight. Sorry I can't be of more help.
