[Lucid]Ubiquity crashes Xorg while running in Xubuntu 64

[Jeff Lane ]

Binary package hint: xorg

Booted Lucid Xubuntu 64bit Live environment and started Ubiquity. I chose the OEM Install option from the F4 menu in the boot screen.

Once I get to partitioning I choose manual partitioning and am able to start partitioning. I usually make it as far as creating a blank table, and adding a /boot partition (ext2, 100MB) before X crashes.

This always seems to happen in the same place during the installation (I've recreated this 3 times in a row). I'm installing to a 64bit VirtualBox VM.

New test on the "Install Xubuntu" option instead of running Ubiquity through live system shows the same problem, changing for now (it seems to ONLY happen while running Ubiquity)

More info:

This is seen in Xubuntu 64 using the Daily Build as of 15 March. I've recreated it 4 times now (three running Ubuquity in the live environment and once in the "Install" environment).

Every time, X crashes after I start running Ubiquity. I've run a couple other apps in the environment without touching Ubiquity and so far have not had an X crash...

This is being seen on a VirtualBox VM configured with 1 processor and 1GB ram with a 16GB disk file.

Update: tried again with Xubuntu 64 daily for 16 March and X still crashes once Ubiquity starts. The new log attachments are from today's failure

Thanks for reporting this issue and the extensive testing of OEM for Xubuntu. Unfortunately, I can not reproduce this issue. I installed Xubuntu using lucid-desktop-amd64.iso dated 2010-03-29 in VBox. It installed without problems. Can you please give me a list of steps to take to try to reproduce the issue?
