Bug Description

Apple Powerbook G4 1.67 Ghz, 1 G ram;
Kubuntu Dapper Drake flight 7

There are two bugs, the second is probably more serious.

While doing the install, I got through step 5,6 (selected manual partition) and then I wanted to change something at the "select partition mount points" section (see second problem) and clicked back a few times. On clicking forward again, I guess the radio button had been reset to the "Resize IDE1 master..." option, and when I clicked forward, the installer crashed with the following trace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 1174, in watch_debconf_fd_helper_read

    self.new_size_scale.setMinValue(min_percent)
AttributeError: Wizard instance has no attribute 'new_size_scale'

The second bug happens on the "select mount point" screen. I accidentally filled in three mount points, so a fourth, blank, set of mount point dropdown boxes appeared. However, after changing the mount points back to

/
swap
[blank]
[blank]

The installer would not let me continue, giving me the "two mount points are the same" error. I assume the installer is incorrectly considering [blank] as a mount point. It seems like an easy "&& selection != blank" fix, but I don't know python.

There's also a spelling mistake in the english version in a partitioning warning I saw something like "...will lost all data", the "lost" should be "lose"

Thanks for your report. Your first bug is also bug 43015; your second is also bug 46402. Both are fixed in the Dapper release candidate.

I've looked for the "will lost all data" string you mention and unfortunately I cannot find it. If you can get me the exact text, then please file a separate bug with that.
