Display driver failed on installation and installation crashed while installing (updating from Ubuntu 12.04.3LTS to Ubuntu 13.10

[Martin Chapusa]

Was updating from 12.04LTS to 13.10, due to failure of Display driver on Acer Aspire 5520G, which also had problems with Broadcom wireless adapter bieng locked by software. Insallataion when up to the point where you log into Ubuntu One, then the insaller crashed. Machine is Acer Aspire 5520G with 320Gig HDD, 3Gig Ram, running Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS. I expected to log on , then retrieve stored files if necessary, afterwad boot into Ubuntu 13.10 with my existing files from the previous version.
