Installer crashed, Kubuntu Dapper flight 7 livecd

[Russellkhan]

The crash happened when I chose to manually edit partition table.

Not sure if system specs are important, I guess it can be looked up by model #, it's a Gateway GT 4010, with an extra 13GB HD installed. But basically, it's an Athlon64 with 1GB RAM, Nvidia Geforce 6100. Oh yeah, it also contains a D-Link NIC in a PCI slot since Knoppix and others had trouble with the built in (Nvidia NForce, I think) ethernet.

Traceback follows.

It happened again at same point, no reboot in between (same live session).

I see now that this has already been reported at #44250.

[Russellkhan (launchix-russ)]

make that #44276 that is the same issue, not 44250, sorry.

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 43125, and is fixed in current daily builds (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/current/).
