crash report (without debug symbols) of the calamares crash
SUMMARY
When using calamares to install KDE Neon, using custom partitioning crashes the
installer. I've attempted to create all partitions beforehand, and simply use
them in the installer as well - but this yields no different result.
The crash report that opens when calamares crashes, requires you to install
debug symbols. This, however, never completes. When attempted to install a
second time, it crashes as well.
Once Calamares has crashed once, it remains active in the background and
requires a kill -9 in the terminal to be able to open the installer again.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Boot Neon live installation medium
2. Open Calamares, and navigate through until you reach the partitioning menu
3. Use "Manual Partitioning"
4. Select "New Partition Table" and use GPT
5. For the sake of this bug report, let's leave out making the system actually
bootable;
6. Create a new partition, "lvm2 pv" and select "encrypt". Enter a passphrase
7. Create a "New Volume group"
8. Select "New Partition" and give your Volume Group a name.
9. Observe the crash
On the new crash report window that opens, it is asked one install the debug
symbols. However, this never succeeds and extra attempts make the application
crash. I do believe this is another bug report on its own.
OBSERVED RESULT
The installer crashes. A background calamares process remains active, and
requires a hard kill in order to be able to start the installer again.
EXPECTED RESULT
A new volume group is created, after which logical volumes can be added.
