Initially just see if you can reproduce the problem. So, yes, try to duplicate the install as much as possible: making the same choices. Check the log to see if it looks the same at the point I pointed out. If you can reproduce it, we can trace the issue by doing one more install with some debugging enabled. To enable debugging, you need to add a line 'set -x' near the top of two scripts _before_ user-setup is being run (for example during partitioning); switch to VT2 and use nano to edit the scripts: - /var/lib/dpkg/info/user-setup.postinst - /usr/bin/user-setup-ask If you prefer, you can also enable this debugging during the first retry, but I think it is better to see if you can reproduce the problem first.
