jockey-gtk crashed with BackendCrashError in convert_dbus_exceptions() (Was installing Ubuntu, on step 2=

[Jimmie Lin]

1. Booted up Ubuntu 10.10 CD (On USB Drive, 2GB one)
2. Selected option Try Ubuntu without Installing (T). Booted with Unetbootin menu.
3. Started the desktop up, didn't do anything but click on "Install Ubuntu 10.10"
4. Clicked Next.
5. Crash report appeared.

The installation works fine up to now. I haven't launched Jockey-gtk in any way so it might be just a rare problem which might not be reproducible.

I have installed Ubuntu several times on this machine (8.04, 8.10, 9.04, 9.10, 10.04, 10.10) and Linux Mint (8, 9 and 10), and this is the first time this error has occurred.
