ubiquity crashed with InstallStepError in configure_ma()

[Phill Wolf]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

The 9.04 Desktop installation process ended before making the user account I named. I don't know what else might be missing. When the installation process ended, the display showed a Ubuntu desktop, which was blank except for a menu panel (Applications, etc) at the top and icons for "Examples" and "Install". Soon a message appeared briefly advising that there had been a crash and I had better click something to see the details. It led me to address you this report.

Comment: If I may, the problem here is that the installer is vulnerable to bugs in the Migration Assistant. The problem I wish to report is not that the Migration Assistant died. The problem is that the installation died with it.

Migration is a terribly difficult task and bugs are to be expected. Those bugs ought not kill the whole installer!

The expected behavior would be for the installer to say, "So sorry, but Migration Assistant died. We will proceed with a respectable installation anyway."

I think it has to do with the partitions. In windows the sdhd only
allows fat. It could change the boot partition. Sdhd may not be able
to format correctly. Still trying...
