I tried doing an apt-get update / upgrade before trying again and this time installation finished. I thought it might be a fluke so tried the same thing again and even with the updates, the installer still crashed.
I don't know if it's related, but I've had a couple of installer crashes before the 'Copying Files' stage. The installer is 'Scanning files' (or similar), it hits 15% and then doesn't do anything else. Sometimes the system speaker beeps, sometimes it doesnt, sometimes there's a crash report, sometimes there's not, sometimes X freezes, sometimes it doesn't... It might be the same problem as what's causing the bug reported above but unfortunately I don't have any log files to hand atm... Let me know if you want them/want me to file a separate bug report. -- Installer crashing whilst copying files https://launchpad.net/bugs/64519 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
