Install crash

[shadowllama]

I clicked install on the LiveCD enviorment and chose my language, time, keyboard layout and cleared out the hard drive. Then at around 92% it crashed with this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 130, in ?
    install(sys.argv[1])
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 55, in install
    ret = wizard.run()

    raise RuntimeError, ("Install failed with exit code %s; see "

Thank you for your bug report can you also attach the /var/log/partman please.

I did. It's the second attachment.

chpasswd: line 1: unknown user shadow

That username is reserved for use by the system; I'm afraid you have to pick a different one. Bug 50036 notes that the installer should have warned you about this.
