Dapper installation from Desktop CD fails

[William Grant]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Ubiquity crashes during Ubuntu 6.06 LTS installation, seems similar to a lot of the other bugs reported lately.

/var/log/syslog and /var/log/installer/syslog shall follow.

Note that this wasn't actually one of my installations (I'm just filing the bug), and it was probably caused by installing over the top of an existing installation. It shouldn't be expected to work, but it shouldn't crash.

Thanks for your report. At present, you must reformat system partitions (e.g. /, /boot, /usr, or /var) during installation; bug 47046 is filed to note that the partitioner should warn you about this up-front. If you are upgrading an existing installation, then please see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades rather than using this installer.
