installer crash on installing ubuntu 6.1 on AMD

[kkurnia]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I'm new to UBUNTU, I added the last few lines of the syslog and partman logs:

I hope it helps.

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 full /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)

I wish I could reproduce the bug, but I don't remember which machine and
which CD I used. If I see it again I will definitely send you the log
files.
