Bug Description

The ubiquity UI crashes out leaving a spinning cursor.
I have been having these crashes with the Live-USB install for the past month.
This is from "Try Ubuntu" then starting the installation from the live desktop.
Hope the crash-log helps.

zsync of 25-Mar-2012 image still crashes, shortly after pressing continue at migration asst.
The slide-show wants to start but UI crashes, this time no apport crash report is generated.
ubiquity ver: 2.10.02
I'm dead in the water w/testing on usb stick, going to try cd.

Ditto of previous comment w/ 4/10/2012 image, Daily live.
Can't try CD burn due to oversize status, tired of wasting DVD's to no avail.
they crash at the same place. Latest apport run says already reported but
offers no link to report or automatic linking to launchpad.

I'll keep trying the daily live images, but hold little hope of success.
Luckily I have two installs to continue bug testing, one from Alt. image.
One from upgrade from 11.10.

Maybe I'll have better luck next cycle.
