Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Ubuquity crashes after selecting mount points. In addition, the "Use largest contiguous free space" option causes the installer to restart the partitioning step instead of automatically partitioning the free space.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 166, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 161, in main
    install(sys.argv[1])

Thanks; I've fixed this crash in my bzr branch. The other autopartitioning problem you mention doesn't appear to happen any more in feisty, and was probably fixed by various partman-auto rearrangements that happened between then and now, although I've fixed up a few bits and pieces I noticed while investigating this.

ubiquity (1.3.22) feisty; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * New partitioner:
    - Fix edit dialog not to try to resize partitions even if the resize
      spinbutton was left untouched (LP: #85227).
    - Add contextual buttons to GTK frontend (part of LP: #83166).
    - Add an undo facility.
    - partman-* updates add validation support (LP: #82768); also add
      XFS-on-/boot validation.
    - Break out of setting the mountpoint if it's invalid (LP: #84543).
  * Fix crash if multiple newworld boot partitions are present (LP: #84429).
  * GTK frontend:
    - Fix backup from user information page if migration-assistant is not
      active (LP: #85642).
    - Fix up step numbers if migration-assistant is disabled (LP: #85711).
    - Disable smooth zooming, as some video drivers are very slow at drawing
      this and it's hard to handle this dynamically (LP: #67572).
  * Fill in a default username based on the user's full name (LP: #84550).
  * Retranslate Forward button when going back from summary page
    (LP: #86047).
  * configure.ac: Bump required GTK version to 2.10.0 (for GtkLinkButton).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: apt-setup 1:0.16ubuntu4,
    base-installer 1.70ubuntu4, choose-mirror 2.10ubuntu2, clock-setup
    0.12ubuntu2, debian-installer-utils 1.42ubuntu2, migration-assistant
    0.4, partman-auto 62ubuntu5, partman-base 100ubuntu4,
    partman-basicfilesystems 51ubuntu2, partman-basicmethods 33ubuntu2,
    partman-efi 11ubuntu2, partman-ext3 45ubuntu2, partman-jfs 20ubuntu2,
    partman-newworld 16ubuntu1, partman-reiserfs 34ubuntu1, partman-target
    46ubuntu2, partman-xfs 32ubuntu1.

  [ Jonathan Riddell ]
  * Add new partitioner for KDE frontend
