Could you please attach /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman to this bug, by commenting on the bug's web page? Thanks in advance.

This happened because of my lack of knowledge in GRUB
I managed to fix this after some research, apparently i didn't know that GRUB use a different kind of numbering of partitions (e.g 1 in mbr means 0 in GRUB)

and after all I did install GRUB into (hd0) as default, and it works fine.

Thanks for the great Ubuntu :)

* I can't attach the /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman to this bug since I ahave done a fresh Install again..

As requested the files will be attached. Here is what the traceback:

And now the partman log.

We are seeing a large number of these bugs (which we are tagging as debconf-frontend-crash). While we are not 100% that they all have the same cause (we have not yet found the cause) we are grouping them together as duplicates.

If you are still able to reproduce this bug it would be great to have the /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman log files. This page contains detailed information on uploading log files: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity/AttachingLogs (you will have to repeat the install attempt with the same Live CD to get them)

Note: in this case the original bug is from Ubuntu, but Brian's logs are from Kubuntu. Duping against the Ubuntu bug.
