Bug Description

Alright... I tried to use the graphical partition manager for my dapper install but it simply crashed with this message

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

Not sure what I should add except that I am using a pentium 4 machine by dell... my current partition setup is a 160 gb hd at hda with 1 ntfs partition and 2 ext3 media partitions. On hdb I have 1 32mb ext2 boot partition a 512mb swap partition and a 39gb xfs partition that stored a previous dapper install that went awry. My only real guess is that the ntfs partition wants some sort of unicode support

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 43125, which is fixed in current daily builds (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/current/). Don't worry about it being anything to do with your filesystems - the same error will have happened for more or less anyone with more than one disk.
