You can switch with CTRL + ALT + F2 (or F1 or ...)
to a terminal during installation. The GUI install is still on CTRL + ALT + F7 and you can swith between them. Regarding to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity you can find the relevant logs in var/log/... (by default the promt points to /home/ubuntu/ so you have to switch) to examin them manually you can use if you are in var/log/ nano syslog (exit nano with CTRL + ^ + X ) So far I have tested. May be that works also when the install procedure is already hanging. What I have not tested is to get out the logs to a usb stick or something. But I can give a document here that might be helfull: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB especially: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB#Manually_Mounting Hope that helps on a Sunday. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1055006 Title: Ubuntu 12.10 beta 1 amd64 installer hanging during boot.
