Title:
  Installer crashed msg when installing Ubuntu 10.10 amd64

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I had a WinXP and Ubuntu (32-bit) dual boot machine.  I wanted to
  replace WinXP with Ubuntu 64-bit, so that I could try it out without
  deleting my existing Ubuntu 32-bit installation.

  I created a bootable thumb drive from the ISO, chose "Try Ubuntu" to
  check it out, saw that everything looked good, then ran the "Intall
  Ubuntu" application by double-clicking on the icon on the desktop
  (i.e., did not restart the machine).

  I clicked on the two checkboxes to download proprietary stuff.

  I chose the option to manage the partitions myself and deleted the
  WinXP partition and reformatted it with Ext4 and chose / for the mount
  point, then selected it for installation.

  After downloading files it seemed about to finish, then I got a
  message saying "Installer crashed", instructing me to file this bug
  report.  It said to include the following detail, but the message does
  not give any details.
