I have the same bug :(
and I think it's the same described here: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/44554

It only did it when I chose the first option to install manually. When I
chose a specific hard disk (I have two) and Then chose install manually, it
worked!

Thanks

I can confirm this workaround!!!
Choosing an hard disk and then the "manual" option it did not crash...
thanx!

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