[Bug 826590] Re: 11.04 Installer crash with exception

Thu Aug 18 10:01:09 UTC 2011

** Summary changed:

- 11.04 Installer crashes
+ 11.04 Installer crash with exception

** Package changed: ubuntu => ubiquity (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => New

** Description changed:

  Been updating ubuntu for years, but I can't install 11.04. Athlon 64
  X2,, nvidia 7600GS, installing amd64 off CD (bit torrent). Dual-boot
  system with Windows XP, overwriting previous ubuntu partitions, per
  usual "upgrade" procedure. Manual partitioning or automatic seems to
  crash regardless.

  First I get an installer error dialog, pretty far along in the process,
  something about dpkg choking? I dismiss the dialog with warning about
  possible failures downstream. A few minutes later I get an "Installer
  crashed" dialog explaining that I should log this bug. Again, no
  specifics, just a request to attach /var/log/syslog and
  /var/log/partman. Figuring out how to get a browser wasn't easy (System
  Settings > System Monitor > Help > Report A Problem).

  "Installer crashed" dialog cannot be dismissed (via X or Close button).

  Attaching syslog, will try to attach partman separately?
