Title:
  ubiquity installer (#!) crashes before completion

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  AcerAspireOne ZG5
  crunchbang linux 9.04.01

  I'm trying to set up a dual-boot, with Crunchbang alongside Karmic
  UNR. I manually set up the partitioner, pointing / to /dev/sda1 (2GB
  ext2) and /home to an 8GB SD card (which is also where UNR looks for
  /home; the intent is to share the /home partition between both
  installs).

  As I think about it, I wonder if this isn't the problem. Must the
  computer name, login information, and password be the same for both
  installs if they're to share access to the /home partition? [I'll
  complete this bug report and go back through the installer with that
  in mind. If it works, I'll mark this bug accordingly.]

  In the Advanced options, I'm forgoing installation of a bootloader,
  intending instead to update-grub so that Grub2 manages both options.

  I've tried running the installer twice, with the same settings and the
  same result:
