Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

After booting up install .iso on USB stick, the language selection screen displayed for a few seconds, and then the screen cleared and system booted to desktop. Clicking on "Install Mythbuntu 9.10" resulted in this crash (and nothing else... can't seem to install).

Can you please boot the live CD, select your language, then arrow down to the "Install Ubuntu" option and hit F6 on it. Hit escape to clear the menu that appears and then add "--debug " just before the "--" mark, so it will look something like "quiet splash --debug --". Please then press enter to boot the CD, and when the installer crashes, attach /var/log/syslog and /var/log/installer/dm to this bug report.

Thanks!
