Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Parted did not start 'inside' the main ubiquit installer, after finishing with it I closed parted then clicked next. I got a crash - which kindly gave me the information below.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 130, in ?
    install(sys.argv[1])
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 55, in install
    ret = wizard.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 266, in run
    self.process_step()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 738, in process_step

    print >>self.gparted_subp.stdin, "apply"
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'stdin'

this is from /var/log/syslog (the other syslog is the installer one) BUT I screwed up and didn't get it till towards the end of the install - perhaps making it useles...? Sorry

I have the same bug, I think. Note that the error message is similar to #47194.

Here is my /var/log/partman. Note that I tried several times to partition this hard drive, which failed for another reason which I'll file as a separate bug.

Here is my installer/syslog. My /var/log/syslog was empty.
