Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I used usb-creator-gtk to create a live usb key from the Kubuntu desktop image 20110329.1, natty-desktop-
I booted an Elitebook 8440p from the key. "Check disc for defects" reported no errors.
I ran through the "desktop manual partitioning" QA test case without major incidents.
I rebooted from the key again and tried a second installation. This time the installer looked odd, with crude GUI elements. For instance the checkboxes in the "Prepare partition" step were black-bordered squares instead of the usual rounded-corner grey shapes.
I set /dev/sda5 to btrfs, /, format, and /dev/sda7 to ext4, /home, don't format. I don't recall whether I hit the "next" button or not. I got two "Installer Crashed" dialog boxes on screen at once.
dialog box 1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/
return self.createInde
AttributeError: Partition instance has no attribute 'row'
Dialog box 2:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/
parentItem = childItem.parent()
AttributeError: '_ModuleWrapper' object has no attribute 'parent'
I rebooted again, and checked the disc for defects again; again no errors were found.
