EXCEPT, I was installing on a Dell Inspiron 1521, and the installation failed. I had earlier used the B43 drivers successfully with 9.04 betas and final.

I tested both b43 and wl last week, and did not get a crash. Unfortunately the stack trace is from the client side, which does not tell anything about the actual crash.

Can anyone reproduce this? Please do this:

  sudo killall jockey-backend
  sudo /usr/share/jockey/jockey-backend --debug

then open the hardware drivers tool again and reproduce the crash. Please copy&paste the output from above afterwards. Thanks!

This happened to me when I attempted to activate NVIDIA 96 driver in Lucid Alpha2.
I have tried to reproduce this and the output from the above commands is attached.

I'm start to activate nvidia 173 driver, Lucid Alpha 3.

occurred in Lucid Beta 1

This occurred for me when I resumed on a new Mini 10. There's no proprietary chips inside, so it wasn't really doing any real "work" on my system. Unfortunately I couldn't reproduce using the instructions in comment #16.

It just crashed on me in Lucid beta 2, but I could not reproduce, so I have no debug output.

I had this problem too, but I can't reproduce it (neither in debug mode, nor normal mode). I am supplying exactly the same conditions: I'm running off the Lucid RC1 CD image for netbooks. Therefore, this bug is probably a race condition, or something like that?

I had this same bug in Maverick RC and decided to nominate the bug for that release.

Happened to me as well on a fresh install of Lucid 10.04.1, mine was with the Broadcom STA driver though. Seems like a bug in jockey that isn't particular to what is being installed... aside from the bug alert coming up I had no clue that anything went wrong... the install went through fine and there weren't any other indications other than the bug report coming up.

This problem happened to me on a Maverick RC Live USB as soon as the desktop loads: This bug report simply popped up on me. Actually, it popped up when I had the installer running and was up to the disk partitioning stage.

This problem effected me on the install of 10.10 i386 version. I have four machines here and was able to boot two of them into live mode, but could not install due to this error. The other two system would not even boot the Live CD. I downloaded all CD's today 10/10/10 from GA distributions on the Web.

All four machines I tried were able to run and install 10.04 with no difficulty.

same situation of Clay Abrams with 10.10-desktop-amd64

same situation 10.10-desktop-amd64 on Gataway 5056b

Same problem here
it seems to happen when you start the install from the live cd but install completes

i have booted into the 10.10 live cd a couple times and i am able to get the same crash every time i hit the install link

forgot to mention it happens on i386 and amd64

Happened on attempting to install Ubuntu 10.10 from the Linux Format magazine DVD on an Acer Aspire One ZG5, external DVD from Lite-On connected.

Same problem on i386 with Ubuntu Natty 11.04 daily 20110105 on HP 6710b, booting from unetbootinned SD-card.

Error comes out after launching installer to HDD.

Same issue occurred while installing Ubuntu 10.10 64Bit through live CD on Compaq Presario CQ40-616TU.

Hi,

just installing and received a bug report for jockey from installer which generated an automatic bug report to community.

machine: Toshiba L500 i3 4G Ram 500 GB HDD, W7 home

I have used the disc on numerous OLDER machines flawlessly.

Will continue with the installation.

This may not be occuring in Precise.

I have this problem in Precise 64bit as well

This Bug affected me while testing Unity 5.4 RC1 in I386 Ubuntu 12.04.

This bug has been reported on the Ubuntu ISO testing tracker.

A list of all reports related to this bug can be found here:
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/bugs/942697

happened in Precise Ubuntu Desktop 20120228.1 on a non english live session

Happened trying to install daily precise ubuntu desktop 386 from USB on an Gigabyte H77M-D3H mobo. This is a very recent chipset !

The SATA HDD is connected on port SATA 2

With default BIOS settings, the usb key does not boot.

With SATA Mode set to AHCI in the BIOS, the usb key boots, the /sda1 is mountable, but the partition manager does not see the partition table.

The bug occured when I disabled SATA hotplug in all ports, and disabled all other SATA ports besides the one used for HDD.

Fixed: the drive had a RAID bit wrong

The crash happened just a moment after the desktop showed up.

Happened to me on a 12.04 livecd. It found no errors either on the disk or on memtest (prior to the message). Message popped up just after I started the desktop installer. Everything then continued as normal :s

i got this error when i was installing video drivers after a clean install of ubuntu 12.04 on my sony vaio vpcse laptop:
