crash in live-cd installer

I got exactly the same error at this point.

Also, on the time zone selection screen, I was sort of expecting a world map where you could click on your city. Instead you have to scroll down a long list of names before finding your city.

I have experianced the same problems "RE: above coments", but I could NOT get the installer to run again...
So I am currently DLing the install ISO.....

I am seeing the same problem in VM player. I fill in the username and password information and get ready to parition the disks and get nada. Cannot run the installer again unless I reboot things.

Also a world map would rock :)

Changing status to confirmed

I re-tried with beta2 and got a crash at the same point. But now at least we've got a crash dialog "Installer crashed" with the backtrace :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 536, in on_next_clicked
    self.dbfilter.ok_handler()

    value = value.encode("UTF-8", "ignore")
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 4: ordinal not in range(128)

The character in position 4 is a french accented letter (circumflex i). The installer had chosen for me the "fr-latin9" encoding, which seemed to work.

I'll try again without this accented letter and tell you what happens.

OK : I have tried replacing the accented letter by a non-accented one ('i') and... it works !

It would be very useful fix this bug before the release of Dapper because lots of people will meet it in non-english-speaking countries.

OK, that crash is bug 42097, and is fixed in the recently-released Flight CD 7. Do give that a try if you can and let me know how you get on.

Great!

Unfortunately I'm not at home this week, so I won't be able to try it.

Anyway good luck for the ongoing Dapper beta phase!
