[karmic] Ubiquity crashes using Karmic Alpha2 LiveCD

[Asif Youssuff]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Using a Karmic Alpha2 LiveUSB (used USB creator). Set up a manual partition -- nothing too fancy, just an ext4 root (format), 4gb swap, and ext3 home (no format).

Install seems to die right after grub is installed. I expect to be able to boot into the system (tried this yesterday and I was able to -- on the LiveUSB now).

Thanks for your report. These logs show that you ran into bug 385995, fixed in more recent builds.

(And, while you probably can boot into the system, various things about it will be broken - it won't have suitable language packs installed, it will still have the installer itself and various other things installed, the /cdrom entry in sources.list might be wrong, and so on. If it were my system I'd reinstall it.)
