Bug Description

I was installing Intrepid Kubuntu Alpha 4. Everything went well until it said something like "Checking time with internet time servers". Since my Internet was off line at the time, I clicked SKIP to skip this step, thinking that the installation would just proceed to the next step. However, the installer seemed to skip ALL THE REST of the installation.

Perhaps the button would be better labelled ABORT if this is the intended behaviour. To me, SKIP implied skip a step and then proceed with the next step(s).

I just learnt that this should be filed under ubiquity since I was installing from the LiveCD.

This isn't the intended behaviour; it's only meant to skip that one step.

I'd appreciate /var/log/installer/syslog from this installation attempt.

  • version Edit (14 bytes, text/plain; name="version")

There's no file called syslog, but hopefully this one called debug (and
version) will help. There's another one called dm but appears to be only
Xorg stuff.

BTW, I am installing 64-bit verson of Kubuntu.

I'll upload clock-setup in a moment to fix this. This won't actually take effect until a new version of ubiquity is uploaded, but that's fairly frequent and will happen before Alpha 6.

This bug was fixed in the package clock-setup - 0.96ubuntu2

---------------
clock-setup (0.96ubuntu2) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Fix handling of progress bar cancellation (LP: #262500):
    - db_progress INFO might be cancelled if the user is quick; cope with
      that.
    - Reset the progresscancel capability when we're finished.

I don't know for me this happened even without skipping network time.
First time it thrown the ubiquity error even without doing anything.
I tried for the second time too.
Here i skipped the network time option.
Then again the same problem.

Note: When booting from the CD, hard disk was damn busy and it gaves some "Buffer I/O error on device sr0 ....." errors on the screen.
Anyway after some time it loaded.

If ubiquity crashed without pressing Skip, then that is clearly a different bug. Please file it separately and attach full logs.
