Thanks for your answer. I already found the solution. The root partition I made was 2GB. I made it 10GB instead and the installer worked just fine.

  Sincerely,
  Max

OK, thanks for letting us know (we should fix the installer to deal better with this case though).

Thanks for your report. I'm afraid that one of your partitions seems to be too small to complete an Ubuntu desktop installation successfully. Bug 48355 notes that the partitioner should have warned you about this. This is fixed in 6.06.1.
