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/
install(
File "/usr/bin/
ret = wizard.run()
File "/usr/lib/
self.
File "/usr/lib/
self.
File "/usr/lib/
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.
