I filed the following bug tonight:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1256588
I attempted to install from the 20131130 PPC LiveCD via usb flash
drive. I used the erase entire drive option.
The installation window proceeds until where the slide show would
begin. At that point, there is a blank area where the first slide
would normally be. The progress text reads copying files.
After about 30 seconds, the entire installation window vanishes, and
all that is left is the spinning gear. After 90 minutes, the
installation never finished. I ran ubuntu-bug ubiquity from a
terminal, and then I did a forced shutdown from the power button on
the computer. I could not get to a console.
Examining the hard drive, the installer looks to have partitioned
the drive, but only installed three folders: /etc., /lost+found,
and /media.
Best regards,
Keith Rogers
