Public bug reported: I tried a fresh install over an existing 11.10 from USB-Stick with standard desktop image 12.04.2, install repeatedly hangs (no disk activity) after entering username and selecting user avatar in the installer. Tried a couple of times, waited for half an hour, still no disk activity. Switched to virtual console #1 (no keys pressed there...) and back to xsession --> disk activity, install completes succesfully, system is running fine now.
Hope i can help on this one, i like ubuntu a lot...
