Installer Crashed

[Tobias Oelgarte]

1. I boot the normaly from the CD
2. Started the installer
3. Filling the forms (lang=en, keyb=de, timezone=berlin ...)
4. "/" on hda10 (+formating), "swap" on hda11 (+formating), "/home" on hda12 (NO formating)
5. Last click on install
6. The installer crashes at this step:

Progressdialog: Checking the fat32 file system in partition #6 of IDE1 master (hda)...

Here is the Traceback:

Dapper 6.06 Flight 7
Also: Installer sometimes confused which partition to be formated. Installer says that it will format hda10 and hda12 but not hda10 and hda11 as i selected.

I installed ubiquity 0.9.80 with apt-get. The bug is propably allready fixed!?

That's what i have done:
1. Open Console
2. type "sudo apt-get update"
3. type "sudo apt-get install ubiquity"
4. Start the normal installation!

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 43012; it's not fixed in ubiquity 0.99.80, but it'll be fixed in 0.99.81.

(and you'd need to upgrade ubiquity-frontend-gtk too, when the fix is uploaded)
