Comment 18 for bug 440407

I am no longer getting this with the desktop liveCD of Karmic 9.10 Release Candidate.

Uname: Linux 2.6.31-14-generic i686

The install no longer fails with an error near the end of the install process, followed by returning me to the liveCD desktop. The install now completes successfully and prompts for a restart of the system.

I am also seeing the install slideshow for the first time - it did not appear during the attempt to install from the beta liveCD (and appears to have been the cause of the problem - purging it from the beta as suggested above worked for me too).
