Installer crashed

[rashmani]

Hi there!

While installing Kubuntu, the installer crashed reporting following error msg:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 684, in on_next_clicked
    self.dbfilter.ok_handler()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/components/partman.py", line 303, in ok_handler
    elif (self.current_question.endswith('automatically_partition') or
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'endswith'
-------------------------------------------------------

Crash occurred while partitioning disks. First selected option was 'use largest available space', which failed; then option 'use hda1' was used; this led to the above crash.
Error dialog also instructed to attach files from /var/log (if needed just post me a request, can't attach them here).

Aloha!

Could you please attach /var/log/installer/syslog, /var/log/syslog, and /var/log/partman to this bug, using the "Add Attachment" link on the bug's web page? Thanks in advance.

As per request by Manuel L.

Hi there,

I've attached two of the requested files, the others are empty.

Ciao

Could you please check for /var/log/installer/syslog and /var/log/partman again? They're the ones I really need here (/var/log/syslog is only useful sometimes).

(Filippo sent me these files in private e-mail. This is a reminder to myself to get round to transferring these to the bug.)

Hi there,

I couldn't wait (this was a company installation) so I moved back to
10.04, which proved to be safe to install on that hardware.
Thanks anyway!
