Thanks for reporting. The trace suggests you ran out of space but the logs suggests a choice to autopartition a 60 Gb disk, erasing the disk. Raising the priority. Evan or Colin should probably look at this.

Changed in ubiquity:
importance: Undecided → Medium
status: Unconfirmed → Confirmed

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.
