Public bug reported: I found this bug in both the Xubuntu and Lubuntu 12.04 AMD64 installers, I assume it is also in the main Ubuntu installer. I am using an Asus G1S laptop, which has a built-in webcam.
The installer crashes on the screen where it is trying to take a photo or let me select from an existing one. It crashes whether I just let it sit there, or try to do things with the controls. I checked, but could not find a boot option to disable this screen. My temporary work-around was: On the screen where you enter your name, user ID, etc (this is just before the photo screen), switch to a text console by hitting C-M-F2. Doing an 'rmmod uvcvideo' seems to prevent the photo screen from appearing. Type 'exit', then press C-M-F7 to return to the installer. After doing this, the install completed successfully. Might be a good idea to make some way to disable this screen in the installer, ask if it should be run right before you get to it, etc ...?
