2006-04-21 02:28:12 Eduardo Han Valen description On 2 separate systems, espresso crashes on partitioning step in Kubuntu 6.06 LTS Beta Live CD. I used the default boot menu entry to boot it up, once the KDE desktop is fully loaded, I clicked on "Install". It wnt through all the install steps fine except that it did not fully load the partitioning step and then it crashed and the application closed. I did _not_ get to see the full partitioner dialog as seen in https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuDapperBeta?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=space.png System 1: AMD Athlon XP-M 2600+, 512MB Ram, 200GB HD System 2: Dell OptiPlex GX100, P3 866MHz, 256 MB RAM, 20GB HD On 2 separate systems, espresso crashes on partitioning step in Kubuntu 6.06 LTS Beta Live CD.

2006-04-23 18:16:15 Colin Watson ubiquity: statusexplanation OK, this upload should make sure that partman exits if ubiquity crashes rather than carrying on as if nothing had happened. My apologies for any inconvenience and/or data loss caused by this bug. Even after this bug fix, it is likely that you will still see the installer crashing in similar ways; I have not fixed all the triggers for this bug, merely (I hope) the dangerous symptoms. Please send me reports of those crashes as *new* bug reports rather than appending them to this bug; please do not reopen this bug unless you experience a crash that leaves the partitioning scripts running on a live CD with at least version 0.99.64 of ubiquity installed. Doing that will help me to keep a handle on the set of bugs I currently need to fix. ubiquity (0.99.64) dapper; urgency=low * GTK frontend: - Use xscreensaver-command --deactivate, not --disable (closes: Malone #40095). - Hide "Set Time..." button if time-admin isn't present. - Recommend gnome-system-tools for time-admin. * KDE frontend: - Fix import of UbiquityUIBase (closes: Malone #40939). * Set the SIGPIPE handler back to the default before spawning debconffiltered subprocesses, so that they notice when the UI crashes rather than carrying merrily on and e.g. trashing the partition table (closes: Malone #40464). Whose bright idea was it to have Python install a SIGPIPE handler but then not bother to have the subprocess module remove it, eh? -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@ubuntu.com> Sun, 23 Apr 2006 19:07:52 +0100
