Bug Description
Booting from live "CD" (which is in fact isotostick.sh'ed USB stick) and installing, ubiquity hangs after I select language: I press the -> button, it does something (wait cursor), then nothing (regular cursor) and sits there.Looking to syslog, I see

So I did "sudo killall -9 languagechooser", which makes ubiquity warn me that tje subprocess. After continuing (despite the warning), the installation went fine, using the language I selected (czech). The hang happened 5 times the same way before I tried to kill languagechooser and continue as described.
Arch: amd64, hardy alpha4 live cd converted to live USB.

The languagechooser package is long dead, merged into localechooser years ago. However, this is probably a ubiquity bug anyway. I thought we'd fixed this in 1.7.3 ...
Could you please run the installer with 'ubiquity --debug' and attach /var/log/syslog and /var/log/ installer/ debug to this bug, following the directions in http:// wiki.ubuntu. com/DebuggingUb iquity/ AttachingLogs? Thanks in advance.
