Everton,

thanks for the bug report. Based on the traceback this looks like a duplicate of an existing bug 68882. It will help get the problem fixed if you can attach some log files. If you have not yet completed the install then /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman are what is needed. If you have completed the install then these files end up in /var/log/installer.

thanks,
Richard

Thanks for your report. I'm afraid that one of your partitions seems to be too small to complete an Ubuntu desktop installation successfully. Bug 48355 notes that the partitioner should have warned you about this. This is fixed in 6.06.1.
