[Cialug] Ubuntu 12,04 LTS

[Aaron]

I define a "live" install from installing a system from a live desktop 
loaded into RAM. But if this is a server iso install, than Unity issues 
shouldn't be a concern. Since, from my installs of the server version, 
there is no xserver installed. So that wouldn't be an issue. But if this 
is a desktop iso, and the choice of installing from the start is 
selected, than I would agree that Unity is the issue.  Also, was this a 
graphical installer and in any case, at which point is this "fuel bar" 
encountered? What was the last thing that was entered before this bar 
was loaded?

Get the same problem either way.  It almost gets to the end of the fuel bar when it encounters the error.  I guess it depends on your definition of a live install.  I would call it a live install if I install directly from the install media.  Is that your definition?
