Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I was trying to install ubuntu ultimate 1.1 on my pc (hp pavilion dv2000) with a previous debian installation and Win Vista operative system. I need help!

I'm afraid the traceback alone is not enough to find the cause of this. Please post /var/log/syslog from an installation attempt, ideally from a recent Ubuntu release to make sure that this is a bug in ubiquity and not the Ubuntu Ultimate derivative distribution.

Thanks!
