I have an image of 14.04.1 on a usb stick which I tried to install on an old HP probook 6545b. It boots and runs fine, however when clicking the install button, nothing happens. Also, when trying to install directly from the start menu, it doesn't install, but again boots the life system after displaying some error for about a microsecond.
Investigating the installer's debug.txt, it shows:
Ubiquity 2.18.8

I've found a similar issue here, however that seems to be connected to upowerd which I do not see in the debug log.
Any help would be appreciated...
