Public bug reported: After making an ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS KDE based system with remastersys 3.03-1 after installing all updates as of 10/7/12 I can run the image as a live system but when trying to install I get the following error when running sudo ubiquity -d:
"/home/user_name/.kde/socket-user_name/kdeinit4_0" Then a window saying "installer closed unexpectedly Application installer(bin), signal aborted". If I pin the dbus,dbus-x11, and libdbus-1-2 packages at version 1.4.18-1ubuntu1 and then remaster the image, it will install. Using later versions of those packages up to and including version 1.4.18-1ubuntu1.3 I get the above error. If I remaster a standard ubuntu system (unity not KDE) remastersys has no problem installing with the newer packages. I suspect the ubiquity-frontend-kde that is used by remastersys when building a kde based image. There was no var/log/partman file since installation failed. Here is the relevant part of the var/log/syslog -I think Oct 7 12:22:52 lions dbus[1097]: [system] Activating service name='org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper' (using servicehelper) Oct 7 12:22:52 lions org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper: QDBusConnection: system D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication.
