Dapper Drake Final: Installer crash

Bug Description

Although it is an older version, I am going to post this as part of my effort to catalog bugs from now on (An error in GParted that resulted in a corruption of my partition table is the motivation)

The error message from the installer asked for:
/var/log/installer/syslog available <a href="http://kevinmittman.frihost.net/filelink/installer-syslog">here</a>
/var/log/syslog available <a href="http://kevinmittman.frihost.net/filelink/syslog">here</a>
/var/log/partman available <a href="http://kevinmittman.frihost.net/filelink/partman">here</a>

Thanks for your report, which is also bug 48856. The program used for advanced partitioning, gparted, appears to have crashed. The version of the installer present in Ubuntu/Edubuntu/Xubuntu 6.06.1 deals with this more gracefully. If you can reproduce the gparted crash by running it directly from the System -> Administration menu, then please file a separate bug against gparted.

Hi,

I got this bug while installing Ubuntu by using Ubuntu CDs. At that time, I
was unable to install the OS. Without fixing the bug, how come 0I can do the
installation using the same CDs.

Rajeev Kilaru

Hi Rajeev,

I was able to install UBUNTU by using an external partitioner called Acronis
Disk Director. I had to install that program, prepare the partitions (you
can even format the partition using EXT FS), and then proceed with UBUNTU
installation by selecting the new partition.

Regards,
Claudio
