I ran into this bug today trying to install on an old Sony Vaio laptop.
Both Lubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 installers crashed at the slide show.
I booted form live CD, removed the slideshow package, then installed and that worked for Lubuntu 12.10
Hardware:
Sony Vaio PCG-NVR23
AMD Athlon XP 1800+ (1.53 GHz)
512 MB RAM
30 GB HDD
