It crashes or loops endlessly when trying to pick the partition to install. It does the same thing for both 32 bit and 64 bit linux mint 10 kde rc.

Just wanted to add that in my case the installer crashed right after the first "Next" button (language). I was trying to install Linux Mint 10 KDE inside a VirtualBox VM with 1GB memory. It is probably the point when the installer enters the Disk Partitioning section.

I'm using VirtualBox 3.2.12 on an openSUSE 11.3 64bit install.

Assign to kdebase because all this report are referred to kde env.

Why would that mean it's a KDE bug?

[Rich Johnson (nixternal)]

I am unfortunately able to reproduce this error with 10.04.4 LTS, 11.10, and 12.04 installs. I have done numerous installs in a VM this evening working on other reports, and not once has it crashed by trying any of the responses in this report. Is this still occurring for those who commented in this report or others? If so, any other info to help reproduce this would be more than welcomed. Thank you.
