Bug confirmed on a Samsung NF310 (Shark)
Using ISO 10.04 Beta 2, moved to a USB stick using Ubuntu usb creator

Ubiquity seems to be failing when clicking on Next, after entering 1st user (admin) informations.
No matter if files copying just started, or if I am waiting all files to be copied: when clicking on Next step.
No matter if wifi is connected or not, and if "download upgrade when installing" is checked or not.

Will try "sudo rm /usr/lib/ubiquity/plugins/ubi-webcam.py" tonight before launching installation.

I am replying to this bug, as all other duplicates are not assigned, and a workaround has been provided with this bug.

Just 2 things:
- Duplicate Bug #909179 is assigned to "Canonical Foundations Team", which is a bit confusing.
Who is really working on this bug that we may help ?
- This bug is tagged as high, unfortunately not Critical: BUT IT SHOULD !
According to all duplicates, showing issues on many laptops (from many vendors), it is blocking many users from being able to install Precise !

Just have a look at this:

"However, it would not load on the Samsung NF310 - it gets to the step where it should want me to choose a picture for my account (or take a picture with the built-in camera) and it just hangs forever. I have no idea why"

Cheers
