Binary package hint: ubiquity
Trying to do testing of daily iso build for Kubuntu desktop iso for 25/03/2007
test system is HP pavilion notebook N5472
1Ghz Intel Celeron CPU
256MB RAM
20GB Hitachi HDD
md5sum for the iso checks out OK. I have burned the iso twice, once at 10x and once at 4x, same results with both disks. Both disks pass the 'check CD for defects' test. Both run fine as a LiveCD, able to launch applications browse the web etc. When I try to run the installer I get the same result both times. The installation process goes through (very slowly) until step 4 of 6 when it tries to start the partitioning tool. The progress meter ticks up to 100% with message reading 'detecting file systems'. this process takes about 20min+ to complete. Then after another 20min I get a window titled 'Installer crashed' and a box with a traceback in it.
At this point the system locks up completely and I get no response from mouse or keyboard. So I can't grab the traceback or the syslogs. If anyone can tell me how I'll happily reproduce the error and grab the info. I'm aware that 256MB is not a lot of RAM to be running a LiveCD/Graphical Installer, on the other hand the download page does list 192MB as the minimum so this should be at least theoretically possible. |
