Public bug reported:

Using Ubuntu 11.10 Beta 2 64 bit -- clean installed on a brand new laptop (dual boot with Windows 7).
When I tried to load ATI/AMD proprietary drivers, the install process stalled at about 2/3 done in the "downloading and installing drive" dialogue window.  System monitor shows one CPU at 100%, and the other at about 30%. All systems functions are very slow, especially network I/O.  (am using wifi)  I cannot tell accurately what process is using the CPU due to lack of an "all process" selection in System Monitor under Unity.  Earlier today I experienced a similar problem when running Ubuntu Software Center, so I suspect a common cause.
[Note -- this system had the installation crash with the just-fixed installer bug.  It booted anyway, so I kept using it, assuming that software update would catch any serious problems.  Perhaps a mistake, but installs worked okay until this morning.]
