Thanks for this bug report,
Could you please check the integrity of the installation media, and state if it was an installation from optical media or a USB device.

Thanks for you help.

I installed Ubuntu 11.10 from DVD. Few days ago I used it to install fresh copy of O.S. and everything was OK, so integrity of data isn't reason in 99,999%.

Thank You for your bug report and taking the time to assist us, I am confirming the bug as it is in the cd image.

Da Shroom - it isn't really clear to me why you Confirmed this bug report. Could you provide some more information?

[Da Shroom (9n-georgm-bc)]

There are quite a lot of "can't find file" or similar errors in the syslog, and it doesn't appear to be a problem with the download of the ISO .etc

Also, note the first 2 lines of casper.txt
