Precise Lubuntu live installer freezes at Keyboard layout

[Erick Brunzell]

I'm testing the Lubuntu live 20120301 i386 image and installation freezes at Keyboard layout.

But poking around a bit I see that both casper and ubiquity are upgradable so I need to rinse-n-repeat, also need to cross-test with the 20120301 Ubuntu image.

Going as fast as I can.

I'm waiting for an install of Lubuntu to complete now. Simply running apt-get update & apt-get dist-upgrade updated both casper & ubiquity, along with related pkgs, and the installer appeared to proceed properly. It'll take about 20 minutes for the installation to complete, but those latest updates appear to be needed.

Installation completed just fine, so we either need to rebuild with the newest ubiquity and casper or address this in the release notes, I hope the prior because people don't read.

This appears to be fixed in the 20120301.1 i386 Lubuntu live images. Many thanks to all involved.
