Bug Description

Tried this in several languages,
Tried this with 16GByte SSD
Tried this with 320GByte Hard disk
Tried several options with terminal.
Tried to make sda drive writable with remount,rw etc.
Tried to kill other processes.

Still no luck! I desperately need touch screen driver for my customer, I will try other distributions....
Linux Mint is no option, touch is not working.
Linux Fedora the mouse does not move at all with touch.
etc...

which distribution should work for me?

I'm a C++ engeneer, how can I help without knowledge of kernels?

Well the today's daily image is busted due to bug 1053317 which has been fixed in 1.78ubuntu2 and uploaded as part of the installer in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/2.12.1

So I think you should either use beta1 image or wait for tomorrow's daily.

You can check jenkins auto tests first before trying daily ISO

And you have the same symptons in you bug report as bug 1053317
