I'm just learning so I don't know how to get the other log files. It never seemed like the installer was ever copying files to the hard drive.

I'm sorry for the very slow response - but I'm afraid this is the sort of thing that could easily be caused by modifications made by Crunchbang, and if you're still experiencing this problem then you should really file your bug with them. There isn't enough information in this traceback for us to diagnose the problem (it's essentially a "something failed" kind of error), and given the time delay I think it's probably best to close this for now. Feel free to reopen if you can provide logs that show that this is a problem with Ubuntu.
