Hi, similar problem with the KDE-ui version.
Yesterday, I downloaded the Kubuntu Desktop AMD-64 Live-CD image as of version 2007-01-11 from http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily- live/20070111/. I tried to install it on a newly purchased PC with an empty and unpartitioned 400GB-SATA harddisk. After starting the installer from the KDE desktop, I chose manual partitioning and I defined some partitions (/boot, swap, /, /home, /encrypted; first three primary partitions, the two last partitions logical.). When I klicked "next" after that, I decided to do the partitioning again using slightly different individual partition sizes. I clicked on the "back"-button, and then the installer crashed and I got some error messages ("traceback") after that step. Right now, I can't attach the according error output, because after this first installer crash, the behavior has changed: When I start the installer again, it crashes right after choosing the regional and user settings (German, Germany w/ deadkeys, timezone Berlin, etc.). This is even the case after a cold reboot of the computer. IMHO, the installer has already changed the boot sector/partition table of the once completely empty harddisk. (I'm attaching the first four 512-byte-chunks of my disk drive, obtained using "sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/tmp/bootsector bs=512 count=4") When the installer crashes now, it outputs the following error log: [quote] Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 185, in ? main() File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 180, in main install(args[0]) File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 56, in install ret = wizard.run() File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 328, in run self.process_step() File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 804, in process_step self.process_autopartitioning() File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 858, in process_autopartitioning choice = self.get_autopartition_choice()[0] File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 1573, in get_autopartition_choice choice = unicode(self.autopartition_buttongroup_texts[id]) KeyError: -1 [end quote] HTH, following: /var/log/partman, /var/log/syslog, first two kilobytes of physical harddisk space ** Attachment added: "/var/log/partman" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5703932/partman -- Installer crashed during partition analasis https://launchpad.net/bugs/78881 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
