Ubuntu 11.04 installer crash, right at the end

[Eric Ongerth]

I am filing this report not from inside the installer, but still before a reboot. So according to the instructions below, I will attach /var/log/installer/syslog and /var/log/installer/partman. I was unable to file from inside the installer because the wireless connection widget did not appear at that time so I couldn't access the 'net.

Oops... OK, well maybe the above isn't true? Because there is /var/log, but there is no /var/log/installer. Also, I have /var/log/syslog but NOT /var/log/partman. The latter just is not there. So I'm submitting just /var/log/syslog.

So the incident I'm reporting is: right at the end of the installer, just before it finished, a window popped up to say the installer crashed and recommending that I should make this report. Oh, one other thing too... the installer crashed in my previous attempt too, which was an attempt to do a side-by-side install with an existing Windows Vista. That was my first and only attempt before, and it crashed early in the process, like right after partition adjustment. So I abandoned that, rebooted from my USB stick with the live CD image on it, and this time (my second attempt in total) told it to erase everything and just install Ubuntu 11.04. The process went well, including downloading updates for a long time, but then right at the end it reported this crash. I guess that's all I can say about it.

Probably no longer important -- this issue is too old. I only reported it because the system advised me to.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. If you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:
apport-collect 801471

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Hi Simon,

I hope you can see that this report was from 2011 and that I commented in 2014 saying it was likely too stale to bother. I was very surprised today to see your comment and I recommend simply closing this issue since the version is far in the past.
