I have the same problem which experinced installing kubuntu 7.04 on two different IBM laptops, a T40 and X30. I tried to solved be reniceing the ubiquity process since this prolonged the installation quite a bit. I am not sure when the ubiquity starts to max out.
At first I though it was related to the T40 on which I installed first and dismissed it as a hardware failure but since it is present on the X30 as well I think the bug is for real. -- While installing ubiquity takes 100% CPU time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85796 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
