Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I was trying to install the current (27th August) build of kubuntu maverick amd64, installation went fine until uibquity vanished. dmesg showed that it was killed by oom-killer. The 1GiB of memory the KVM session had were mostly used up by 147 instances of 'plugininstall.py'

Kubuntu installer with enabling both restricted content and fetching updates. Trying with pure default settings failed too.

Please retest with the new ISO that has ubiquity 2.3.12 on it. It seems to have resolved OOM problems I was having.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.3.14

---------------
ubiquity (2.3.14) maverick; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * KDE frontend:
    - If the slideshow doesn't exist, hide self.ui.pageMode rather than
      self.page_mode (LP: #627549).
  * Set Debug::identcdrom=true for apt-cdrom if installing from a
    non-ISO9660 filesystem, since otherwise apt-cdrom will include the free
    blocks count of /cdrom in its database which is unreliable on read-write
    filesystems, especially USB images with persistence enabled. Thanks to
    Manoj Iyer for patient testing (LP: #627672).

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Provides indicator-renderer (LP: #616165)

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Disconnect and destroy QSocketNotifiers when the dbfilter finishes.
    Thanks Colin Watson (LP: #625586).
  * add the check_hostname function back to ubi-usersetup (LP: #628317).
