Bug Description
After having created three partitions (/ /home/ and swap), I tried to install Ubuntu. I had forgotten to format the swap partition (i.e. all I had was unallocated space there). The installer warvned my about that so I went back to fix it. I chose to format it as linux-swap and then clicked next. The partitioner started and the partition was formatted properly (or so I suppose at least). The installer crashed on the next screen ("Prepare mount points").
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/
gtk.main_quit()
RuntimeError: called outside of a mainloop
This is with the 6.06 release.

Just want to add that the swap filesystem was not formatted correctly after all. I just tried to reinstall and it shows up with an exclamation mark and clicking on it tells me that it's damaged/unknown to libparted/ unformatted. Thanks for getting into the trouble of writing ubiquity - please ask for any information needed to fix the problem. Thanks again!
