Bug Description
Using the Xubuntu 6.10 Desktop Live CD, I started the live cd in "safe graphics mode" because it couldn't detect the screen in the default boot. My partitions were as follows:
root@ubuntu:
major minor #blocks name
8 0 78125000 sda
8 1 56196 sda1
8 2 74806672 sda2
8 3 3253162 sda3
8 16 3999743 sdb
8 17 40131 sdb1
8 18 3951990 sdb2
7 0 631656 loop0
253 0 56196 dm-0
253 1 74806672 dm-1
253 2 3253162 dm-2
253 3 40131 dm-3
253 4 3951990 dm-4
I chose manual partitioning during the install. I removed sda3 (fat16 or 32) and resized sda2 (ntfs) to be 40000MB. Then I added an extended parition with 1024MB linux-swap, 17607MB ext3, and 17607MB free (unallocated).
After clicking next, the installer seemed to complete the desired operation. When the "prepare mount points" screen came up, I got the following error:
raceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/
gtk.main_quit()
RuntimeError: called outside of a mainloop
