i wonder if this was due to running ubiquity multiple times on the same boot of the live cd

[Dennis Kaarsemaker (dennis)]

Is that with edgy?

[Kenny Duffus (kduffus)]

yeah sorry, edgy kubuntu beta

[Dennis Kaarsemaker (dennis)]

Hmm, ok, then marking bug 52852 and 63455 as duplicates of 48524 may
have been incorrect.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Indeed, it's not the same bug.

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 62939 (see that bug for a description of the problem) and is fixed in current Edgy.
