[Bug 616158] Re: Crash on selection of empty 3rd drive of 3

[Brian Murray]

The log files seems to indicate that it was a hardware error:

Title:
  Crash on selection of empty 3rd drive of 3

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  With version 2.2.25 of ubiquity and ubiquity-frontend-kde see the following error:
  {{{
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde_components/PartAuto.py", line 259, in on_extra_combo_changed
      self.extra_bar_frames[index].setVisible(True)
  IndexError: list index out of range
  }}}
  when attempting to choose the 3rd of 3 hard-drives as the installation target.  Note, this is *not* the ubiquity-frontend-kde version on the livecd by default (which also crashes), I did an aptitude install ubiquity ubiquity-frontend-kde in hopes that it had been fixed.

  I'd mark this a blocker as I can't install the OS on the disk to which
  I need to install it.

  Similar bugs:
  #601238 Installer crashes on selecting hard drive (appears identical from the traceback, but my drives are just simple drives)
  #485450 installer crashes after i choose my secondary HD as the one for the installation (different traceback here, and presumably fixed in my later version)
