confirmed in todays image using KVM http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/243/builds 20130218

This from last night, so we left it for the rebuild.

(23:34:34) phillw: hi good people I'm trying to replicate bug 1128597 Using my KVM system, it hangs as "Starting crash report submission daemon" . I can instruct it to shut down and then see if there are logs left. Anyone have any other suggestions?

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * While displaying question or error dialogs, only change the busy cursor
    state rather than also allowing changing step (LP: #1095684).
  * Use an action group when marking packages for install or delete in the
    apt cache; this is much faster when many packages are involved, since it
    avoids repeating autoremoval calculations over and over again.
  * Sort and consolidate imports.
  * Fix ordering of encryption password strength indications (LP: #1068391).
  * At the end of the language install plugin, read all locale-related keys
    from (/target)/etc/default/locale and set them in the installer's own
    environment.
  * If the combination of language and location does not identify a
    supported combined locale, use a locale based on the language for
    translation-like locale categories and pick one based on the location
    for other locale categories (LP: #1094872). There are still some
    locations where we cannot pick a language element of a location-based
    locale because this is unclear or contentious, and in those cases we
    stick to the old behaviour of having the locale only reflect the
    country.

  [ Aurélien Gâteau ]
  * KDE frontend: show name of installed OS as partition name if
    available

  [ Dmitrijs Ledkovs ]
  * Make panel.c aware of screen & display changes, prevents visual
    artefacts on nexus7 when screen is changing or external monitor is
    plugged in and resolution is changes.
  * Update disable/enable ctrl+alt+t terminal to use gsettings keys,
    instead of gconf.
  * Migrate remaining gconf settings to gsettings in ubiquity-dm.
  * Make sure to correctly set picture-uri. (LP: #1128597)
  * Refactor ubiquity-dm, now that there is less code.
  * Remove gconftool.py.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: grub-installer
    1.78ubuntu6, hw-detect 1.92ubuntu1.
