Public bug reported:
While trying to install from the Xubuntu 16.04 Live CD in VirtualBox, I
get roughly to the keyboard layout selection screen before the installer
crashes with a message roughly like "installer crashed, this could be
due to a damaged install medium, try burning at a lower speed etc".
Detailed information:
* Host machine is a Lenovo ThinkPad P50 laptop, with Windows 10 (a pristine
install, I turned on the laptop for the first time today)
* Intel VT-x and VT-d are active inside the host BIOS
* Trying to install inside Oracle VM VirtualBox 5p1p4 r110228 (Qt5.5.1)
* Created a dynamically allocated VDI disk image to install on, 350 GB (on a
physical 512 GB SSD)
* Chose "erase whole drive to install Xubuntu" (the default)
While selecting the keyboard layout, timezone or entering my user name
and password, the installer suddenly displays the crash message.
Apparently, some background process fails, so which UI step is shown
when the crash happens varies on every try.
I will provide additional information when needed.
