mythbuntu crashes during install

[Michael Baum]

I have no idea what you are talking about. I was installing mythbuntu and the program announced an unexpected crash. It displayed a lot of information about a program called ubiquity. It asked for permission to report it and when I agreed, it patched me into your system. That is all I know.
