Ec2, Hangs On Installation, "setup Languages -> Processing"

I'm on a fresh ec2 ubuntu server. LAMP stack installed, DB ready.

Installation goes fine until it reaches "Setup Languages" and hangs at processing.

Anyone run into this before? If not, how can I turn on verbose mode for installation? Simply freezing gives an end user zero indication on what's wrong and is a pretty poor installation experience.

What do you see in the upgrade logs?
