Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I was trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 alpha 2 x86. After the partitioning- and migration guide, I clicked Install and then it just crashed without giving any errors (before it even started partitioning). This happened both before and after I fully updated everything using Update Manager while using a Live-CD. Ubiquity version 2.1.12 according to apt-cache

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.1.13

---------------
ubiquity (2.1.13) lucid; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Don't crash if something races with ubiquity or ubiquity-dm to create
    /var/log/installer (LP: #458806).

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Support the new translated keyboard names in console-setup
    (LP: #127528).
  * Provide an option to determine the keymap from a decision tree.
  * Add missing parameter to exception in bin/ubiquity.
  * slideshow_get_available_locale is an instance method (LP: #510710).
  * The frontend always has a db attribute, per r3665, so revise the check in
    debconf_communicator. Thanks Colin Watson.
  * Add missing function argument to Install's prepare.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: console-setup
    1.34ubuntu7, grub-installer 1.49ubuntu2, partman-uboot 3.

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Remove another reference to a long dead xserver-xorg debconf question.
  * Don't try reconfiguring LRM, it's been superceded by DKMS based packages.
