Kubuntu ubiquity crashed after selecting the language

[Ara Pulido]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Testing Kubuntu Lucid daily build (ubiquity 2.1.31)

I select "Try Kubuntu" and then, I click on Install. After selecting Spanish as language of installation, ubiquity crashed.

I will attach the logs.

[Ara Pulido (ara)]

I had selected Spanish as language and Only Free Software as boot options

[Dave Morley (davmor2)]

I had 64bit standard install.

Error reads:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Same problem here. Traceback as per post #5. Language left as English (default). This was using Kubuntu daily build 5/3/10 (6.30pm UTC).

Having the same problem with the Daily LiveCD for the last few days, and trying to use the error reporting and it informs me the information isn' useful. Incidentally, the alternative CD ISO has also been having problems failing at the software selection option.

ubiquity (2.1.33) lucid; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Wait for kwriteconfig to exit before proceeding.
  * Start ibus-daemon when starting KDE in install-only mode, which should
    make a few things a bit happier.
  * Derive partman component's PageNoninteractive class from PageBase rather
    than PluginUI, so that it has all the required methods.
  * Stop starting gdm and kdm by hand on exit from /var/log/installer/dm
    (using /etc/init.d/ calls, no less). The Upstart jobs are written so
    that this happens automatically if necessary.

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Fix call to self.progress_start in ubi-partman.
  * Also display progress titles on the advanced partitioning page.
  * Fix call to self.progress_stop in ubi-partman.
  * Don't accept unnecessary arguments to progress_stop anymore.
  * Only try to set the focus on the next button when we've handed over
    control to the user. Prior to this the quit button was getting the
    focus because the next button was insensitive.
  * Use translatable strings for the keyboard query widget
    (LP: #533859).
  * Bring back the resizing partition progress dialog that was removed
    with the rest of the automatic partitioning progress dialogs.
  * Remove the intro plugin. It's now presented as part of the language
    page when the greeter option (-g) is selected.
  * Support setting the language for the live environment from the
    language page in greeter mode by finishing localechooser when 'Try
    Ubuntu' is clicked.
  * Fix missing references in the noninteractive portion of the
    usersetup plugin.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: bterm-unifont
    1.1build1, flash-kernel 2.13ubuntu14, grub-installer 1.49ubuntu6,
    migration-assistant 0.6.4build1, partconf 1.32ubuntu2, partman-base
    138ubuntu2.

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Fix wrong page to jump back to when partitioning fails during install.
  * Remove has_separator property from gtk dialogs to prevent a warning
    from gtk.Builder when they are loaded.

  [ Roman Shtylman ]
  * Support the greeter mode in the KDE frontend.
  * Bring back the in-window progress bar, which was previous disabled to work
    around a bug.
