I happen to get a solution to this : 1) During installation when it asks for option at the user creation screen instead of going with the default option of " required user id and password for login " I selected "option automatic login " and the installation worked . To check if this was just a fluke, i ran the installtion couple of times on the same machine and came to the conclusion when ever i went with the default logon option i.e " required user id and password for login " i ended up with the above error "ubiquity crashed with InstallStepError in configure_user()" and whenever i selected the " automatic login option " it went through , I am not a guru but this is what I tried to understand from the syslog file .This is my dummy way of getting this resolved as of now. I would appreciate any help if some one explain me any downside of this option or the actual reason of the error i faced . -- Ubuntu Install crash , cant dual boot my laptop :( https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/515219 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
