Bug Description
Reproducible : Yes
Frequency : Always
Severity : Unable to install OS is a bit of a show stopper
When I try to install Linux Mint KDE 14 RC from the live CD using ubiquity, ubiquity ALWAYS crashes without any error messages during manual partition setup. After a little bit of digging, this may be due to a problem in partman, but I'm no expert on the ubiquity system.
My hard drive has a combination of primary and logical partitions. Under Mint 13 I created:
/dev/sda1 -- FAT32, primary, pre-installed Dell utility 100MB
/dev/sda2 -- EXT2, primary, mounted on /boot 512MB
free space
/dev/sda5 -- swap, logical 10GB
/dev/sda6 -- EXT4, logical, mounted on /home 300GB
/dev/sda7 -- EXT4, logical, mounted on / 80GB
free space
Ubiquity will ALWAYS crash during DISK SETUP under MANUAL mode when I try to select more than two partitions. I can't tell if it has a problem mixing logical with primary partitions or what.
Got exactly the same issue as reporter. Always crash after configuring the second partition.
