Live install Kubuntu AMD64 Flight 7 crashes at selecting partition method

[Ernst]

I just tried to install the latest Kubuntu. At step 6, I can select to manually change the partition table. I clicked on that option, and got the following crash:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 112, in ?
    install(sys.argv[1])
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 52, in install
    ret = wizard.run()

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 43125, which I fixed on Friday. Current daily builds (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/current/) contain the fix.
