Getting the error "The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you many investigate the problem or try installing again" while trying to install Ubuntu.
These are the details:
Start install from cd, using image ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
Install proceeds to purple screen that says Ubuntu on it.
Continues on for 8 minutes, then error stating "The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you many investigate the problem or try installing again"
I press OK on the error message, goes to black background screen with message on top of screen that says "(Process:325): GLib-Warning **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)"
More errors fill the screen, generally they say "Buffer I/O error on device"
The install continues to a purple screen, makes a music chime-y noise, then purple screen of death for 40 minutes and I kill the install.
My computer: Windows 7 Home Premium, Sony Vaio, 64 bit, Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6600 @ 2.2 GHz
Help?
