Bug Description
This might be a duplicate of 40594, but since none of the reporters in that bug run Flight 7, here's my report anyway:
When trying to install Flight 7 to the (already partitioned) harddrive using the live CD, the installer gives a 'blank' screen when running the custom partitioner. As soon as I click 'next' at step 6/7, the installer crashes:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/
install(
File "/usr/bin/
ret = wizard.run()
File "/usr/lib/
self.
File "/usr/lib/

File "/usr/lib/
print >>self.
IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
System details:
-AMD XP 1700+ (running @ 1100+)
-MSI K7N420Pro mainboard (nForce chipset)
-1024MB ram
-hda: Maxtor 60GB PATA, previously partitioned like this:
hda1: 250MB ext3 (boot)
hda5: LVM with a root XFS partition (which had errors, which were corrected using the dapper live CD) and a swap partition.
All partitioned using Breezy installer.
Other hardware:
-3Ware Escalade 7500 RAID controller (the drive mentioned above is not connected to this controller)
-Intel Pro 1000 pci ethernet adapter
If more info on the system is needed, I'll happily submit it.
EDIT: I've just removed the existing partitions on /dev/hda manually and then tried re-running the installer. The result remains the same as described above.
I think I've just suffered the same problem - using Kubuntu Flight 7. The installer crashed when going from step 6>7 (after choosing to manually edit partitions...)
Output from the installer is: ubiquity" , line 112, in ? sys.argv[ 1]) ubiquity" , line 52, in install python2. 4/site- packages/ ubiquity/ frontend/ kde-ui. py", line 305, in run process_ step() python2. 4/site- packages/ ubiquity/ frontend/ kde-ui. py", line 719, in process_step process_ disk_selection( ) python2. 4/site- packages/ ubiquity/ frontend/ kde-ui. py", line 771, in process_ disk_selection

My system is:
* AMD Athlon XP 1700+ ; 1Gb ram
* /dev/hda = ExcelStor J880 - 80Gb
*/dev/hdc = IBM Deskstar 80Gb (I think - code # is IC35L080AVVA07)
current partition setup is:
Using /dev/hda

Let me know if more info is needed...
