Title:
  ubiquity install hangs, 10.04, 10.10

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  1) 10.04 and 10.10beta (daily build of 30/09), 64-bit
  2) ubiquity 2.4.4
  3) expected it works
  4) it doesn't

  When I launch Live Ubuntu (try without installing on your computer) from a memory stick,
  fdisk -l shows correctly all available disks:

  sda - memory stick
  sdb - built-in memory module
  sdc - ExpressCard/34 64GB SSD (Verbatim)

  My intention is to use the whole SSD for Linux, sda contains Live Ubuntu 64, created with unetbootin
  on an up-to-date U10.04 (64).

  When I click on the "Install Ubuntu" icon (or launch it as a sudo from the commant line),
  it hangs indefinitely after "set your time zone"

  When I choose the option "install" during the boot, it hangs showing
  "Preparing to install Ubuntu".

  fdisk -l does not see the sdc SSD, only sda and sdb above.

  I am attaching /var/log/syslog

  This report is filed from another computer (so ignore the
  automatically collected stuff).

  Besides, the ubuntu-bug utility is very buggy itself:

  1) you need to be a superuser to file a bug, otherwise it crashes with access complaints
  2) it needs a browser, so I cannot report this bug from the failed computer (it does not have
      the browser installed yet)
