Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
When first going into screen 7 ("How do you want to configure your disk space?"), the installer announces that it's attempting to launch a partitioning program, hangs for a few seconds, then crashes. If it helps, I'm trying to install xubuntu Herd 2 onto a dual-booting machine, that already has xubuntu 6.10 on it, with /home/ on a reiser partition and everything else (i.e. /) on an XFS partition (I'd lilke to keep /home and re-format and install into the XFS partition where / currently lives).
Here's the trackback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/

choice = self.get_
File "/usr/lib/
raise AssertionError, "no active autopartitioning choice"
AssertionError: no active autopartitioning choice
I notice in the above the mentioning of autopartitioning; it may be pertinent to note that at no point does it ask me if I want to autopartition, or set my partitions up manually, or any of the other usual choices: it just launches right into the partitioning tool.
