Bug Description
The installer of Ubuntu/Kubuntu - Dapper/Edgy will crash if the new default user is set to an existing default group, like "audio".
The Live-CD installer crashes right at this point, when the new user should be created on the system. It quits. an existing grib config is damaged and the system is unusable.
The alternative text installer ignores that problem. The system is fine, but no user is created, so that you have a well installed system, but no one could log in, due to this non-existant user.
Very annoying, took me a whole day to figure this out.
