Ubiquity 2.4.8 crash on Eee 701

Ubiquity 2.4.8 crashes on my Eee 701. This is from /var/syslog:

This is similar to problems we've had in the past, though I haven't found the right info in the archives yet. Previously the solution was to update ubiquity from 2.0.7 to 2.0.9 but we're way beyond that now.

UH I get a really bad crash when I try ubiquity now. (Seems to kill X.) Can someone please report back: have you successfully run ubiquity from a gazpacho alpha?

[damaru (gef-ponnuki)]

EEE pc 701 on my side I can start ubiquity and get it to the installer
- didn't try to install anything yet though -

it seems to be running fine for me - alpha3 - using unetbooting on
fat16 usbstick

It seems to crash x though (the mouse pointer changes to the other
side - but I still can get trough most of the ubiquity menu - I didn't
format my hd though nor did the installation yet

Same issue here. Trying to install from usb (unetbootin) to hd. Work thru partitioner, specify TZ, dialog for new user properties paints to screen, then crash. Same complaint in /var/syslog: Missing filesystem.size.

[Rob Canning (rob-goto10)]

ok i think i have cracked this after hours of headaches! - so its all about lack of aes support for mounting loop devices - maybe crept in with new kernel - all you need to do is add loop-aes-utils and the installer will work - i will build a new iso now on buiilder to triple check this and close the bug

you can just aptitude install loop-aes-utils from the live version and then run ubiquity and you should be good to go!

On a virtual machine, I can replicate the problem, and Rob's fix fixes it (THANKS!). Not tested with a real live stick (or an Eee 701)
