ubuntu 14.04 stuck (apparently) during install

[markling]

Ubuntu 14.04 Install appears to have hung.

Install is unable to proceed beyond the user options screen. There is no dialogue button for <next> or any other way for the user to tell the install to continue.

This install was started from live desktop icon. The install then appeared to proceed without a hitch. I went through install screens as install was being processed.

I left the machine a while when it asked for install options for username / password. The install continued in the background. User login details were finally added. But the screen did not allow progress from this point. The install process completed - and there was no more disk activity. But that was all.

The screen has not hung: it is possible to edit the user details. But the only dialogue options are <Back> and <Connect>.

The < Connect > button is greyed out and will not accept selection. There is no way to progress from this point.

The install parameters were as follows:

forcepae, encrypted lvm, no network connection, over-write blank space

Machine:

IBM Thinkpad X40 Pentium-M

The machine booted into live environment after I added the forcepae option for certain Pentium-M Thinkpads (as per instructions here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/117744/how-can-i-install-on-a-non-pae-cpu-error-kernel-requires-features-not-present/117751#117751).

The following user details were entered/selected: your name, computer's name, username, password, confirm password, require my password to login.

The following details were not selected: encrypt my home folder, login automatically.

The workaround to this bug was to click <back> and then <continue> again.

The install then offered a <continue> option on the user details screen instead of the odd, impotent <connect> option.

I'm not able to reproduce this. I let it sit at the user credential screen for a good 10 minutes and when I came back it was still sitting there waiting for me to enter the username and password with the continue button ready and waiting. Are you able to reproduce this?

I'm sorry but I have no time to reinstall to recreate the error. I have just spent half my night/early hours learning/trying to get Apparmor to work only to discover it is running a bug that has been fixed but apparently not implemented. bah.
