Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
executed on a live system `ubiquity -g --only` to install ubuntu on new drive.
choose install. selected NO to unmount active /dev/sda2.
choose manual partition. partitioned /dev/sdb to be used.
the installer reformats /dev/sda1 as swap again, hopefully it was not being used at all.
i select time zone, keyboard, and then it fails. with a message to open a new bug.
The keyboard window is still visible.
Here's the end of my syslog:

i'm trying again with swap off and pre-partitioning the new drive...
no luck. it fails on the "Copying files" step. as soon as it starts.
