Bug Description

I just started the installer from Beta 2 and as soon as I confirm the partitions on the HDD and press install the setup crashes. This happened when using the guided installation as well as with a manual partition with BTRFS.

I am using VirtualBox 4.3.26.

It looks like 512 mb of ram is not sufficient any more... ubiquity ran out of memory.

Are you serious? :D This bug is three years old, I have no idea what happened back then. It should be fixed by now since I regularly install it in VirtualBox.
