Unicode-related crash in step 6

[Ville Lindholm]

While on step 6 of the live install on Kubuntu flight 7, if I choose "Manually edit partition table" (where the installer lists all available hard drives) the installer crashes with the following output:

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()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 305, in run
    self.process_step()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 719, in process_step
    self.process_disk_selection()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 771, in process_disk_selection
    if self.manual_choice is None or unicode(choice, "utf-8") == self.manual_choice:
TypeError: decoding Unicode is not supported

I am running the amd64 livecd and it is flight 7 as mentioned. If I choose the hard drive I want to use and THEN choose "Manually edit partition table" it works just fine.

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.

Sorry, I tried searching for duplicates but I guess I did a lousy job :) great to see it fixed!
