Installation crash on manually edit partition table

[Tom Gubler]

I was installing from the Live Dapper CDROM and the first problem was when I altered the time to suit (Brisbane, Australia). On clicking Apply the Display screen disappeared. I retrieved it wtth Alt F4 (I think) and went on.

The hard drifve was already partitioned bu when I clicked on Manually Edit Partition Table the Installer crashed

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 112, in ?
    install(sys.argv[1])
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 52, in install
    ret = wizard.run()

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 43125, and is fixed in the Dapper release candidate.
