I had the same with 9.10 final.

Tried to install Kubuntu 64bit from desktop image on usb flash (created with usb-creator). When the actual installation (or partitioning, what would I know..) starts, I get the same message.

Sorry, couldn't attach other files, I couldn't open a file manager to find the files nor konqueror to create a bugrep..

restarted, installed without live session and succeeded.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:
apport-collect 467669

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
