installer partman crash selecting swap partition

[Mikel Ward]

Installing on mi sistem failed wen using the automatic partitioner, so I choze manual partitioning.

I added /dev/sdb1 (Linux ext2) and /dev/sdb2 (Linux swop) then clicked next. I wos askd to set mi mount points. After triing to click the drop-down box for the swop partition, the installer crashd.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 620, in on_list_changed
    self.size_widgets[index].set_text(self.set_size_msg(self.partition_widgets[index]))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 473, in set_size_msg
    size = float(self.size[self.part_devices[widget.get_active_text()].split('/')[2]])
KeyError: 'sdb2'

Could you please attach /var/log/installer/syslog, /var/log/syslog, and /var/log/partman to this bug, using the "Add Attachment" link on the bug's web page? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I'd alredy rebooted so I don't hav those files ennymor.

There ar sum attachments to bug 55753 from erleer in the install process. It mite help to establish exactly wot I wos trying to do.

I think at wun point my sdb2 wos being displayed in the partition screen as "unknown" even tho I had selected "linux-swap" from the drop down list. (The crash occured on the next screen for configuring mount points, however).

If you have rebooted into a successfully installed system, please attach /var/log/installer/partman and /var/log/installer/syslog. Thanks.

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 45200, and is fixed in Ubuntu 6.06.1.
