Bug Description

I downloaded the kubuntu Live CD and tried to install kubuntu but as I want to keep my old home directory I needed to use the manual partitioner. When I selected manual partitioning and clicked next it crashed and gave me this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 112, in ?
    install(sys.argv[1])
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 52, in install
    ret = wizard.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 305, in run
    self.process_step()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 719, in process_step
    self.process_disk_selection()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 771, in process_disk_selection
    if self.manual_choice is None or unicode(choice, "utf-8") == self.manual_choice:
TypeError: decoding Unicode is not supported

Hope this helps...

This bug is quite old and IIRC solved - which version did you try?

I was using the Intel x86 LiveCD/Install iso from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/dapper/flight-7/. I assumed it was the latest ISO as there was no other one available.
